Moto Guzzi has announced 3 new Black Eagle variations of the California, Bellagio and Nevada motorcycles for 2010.  The new matte black paint color is called “Aquila Nero”, or translated as Coal Black.  Fortunately, there is more to these new Black Eagle motorcycles than just paint.

Starting with the Nevada, the nicely styled chrome exhaust is borrowed from the V7 Classic.  In the opinion of The Moto Guzzi Guide, the new exhaust system really makes the Nevada look right is a  smart move by the Moto Guzzi designers.

Thanks to the folks at Moto Guzzi for getting some good publicity for our favorite brand of motorcycles, and of course for producing two awesome bikes, the Griso 8V and the Stelvio 4V.

The 2009 Stelvio has especially gained a lot of good reviews since it’s launch, but the muscle-bike Griso has also had good reviews too.

Moto Guzzi Bellagio seems to be a perfect fit for the US market, but where are they? Maybe this bad boy does not fit the trend in the US where motorcycle manufacturers seem to apply the bigger is better mentality.

After all, it’s 936cc (57 ci) v-twin engine is almost half the size of the popular big engine displacements these days. It’s weight is just 224kg dry (493 lbs dry), which is almost half the weight of many of today’s big bore bikes.  I guess it would have to put on a few hundred pounds to be a contender. Yes, I am being sarcastic.

In yet another use for the famous and reliable v-twin engine from Moto Guzzi, Blackjack Cars from the UK has made the Moto Guzzi 1100cc engine available as an option in their Blackjack Zero kit.  The Blackjack Zero 3-wheeler kit normally has been using an air cooled Volkswagen engine as it’s standard offering.

The Guzzi engine in the Blackjack is coupled to a Volkswagen transmission.  This unusual marriage makes for a lightweight and reliable drive system that comes together very nicely in the Zero cyclecar.
