    Another Calibro 700 adventure coming up...

    After the Springerville gathering last Sunday, I rode 225+ miles home in the pouring RAIN, and the poor little Morini was absolutely "FILTHY!" A break in the weather today allowed me wash & wax it and give it a little LOVE that it deserves. Now, it is all ready for the next adventure! (lol)

    My neighbor test riding my Calibro 700

    Hi Gil! I like your Bagger and that performance exhaust looks interesting. I added a rear cowl, tank bag, a set of HyperLite brake flashers and a Gel Turtle Pad for the seat, because it was a little "hard" after a recent 685+ mile trip from AZ to NM for the annual Moto Guzzi Rally in Datil. I...

    No kit available yet from MM to change the forward controls...

    Never been a big fan of forward controls on motorcycles. Luckily, there are holes drilled already in the frame to move the controls back. However, I had to modify the gear shirt lever (see the little "L-shaped" bracket), and the brake pedal, (it was way too high, so had to make is so my foot...

    Turtle-Head Gel Pad for the stock Calibro seat

    This is a $40 "Turtle-Head Gel Pad" I bought this on Amazon to make the stock seat more comfortable on long trips. After my recent 684 mile trip to the Guzzi Rally in Datil, NM, my butt was a little "sore" (lol, so I had to try something. This seems to work well, although I have not ridden...

    Welcome to the independent Moto Morini enthusiasts forum.

    Well done, Dennis, and thanks for doing this for the new Morini riders!. You should forward this to the Moto Morini rep (??) in the USA so they know what you have started. Certainly, they must have sold quite a few Morini's in the states by now, yes? Anyway, I assume the MM factory would be...

    Hello from NorCal

    I looked at the Calibro Bagger, but went with the 700 Calibro instead because I liked the overall look and it was $800+ cheaper. See my post about my recent 684 miles journey. You should be very happy with a Bagger...

    Greetings from the Verde Valley, AZ

    Just rode my 2025 Calibro 700 684 miles to the annual Moto Guzzi Rally in Datil, NM. The motor performed well in the hills, even at 7800 feet across the Continental Divide. I averaged about 65 MPG even at 70-75 MPH. 68 HP, fuel-injection, belt-drive, ABS brakes and 6-speed, what's not to...
