This 2003 Ghezzi-Brian Folgore Supertwin is powered by an air-cooled Moto Guzzi 1,056cc V-twin mated to a five-speed transmission and features black bodywork over a red TIG-welded frame. Additional equipment includes OZ Racing wheels, Paioli and Öhlins suspension, dual front perimeter disc brakes, a carbon fiber rear fender, clip-ons, and a driveshaft as well as modifications such as Rizoma turn signals, a Dynojet Power Commander, and a Bub exhaust system. This Ghezzi-Brian is now offered with a Moto Guzzi owner's manual, spare parts, extra decals, and a clean California title in the seller's name.

Ghezzi-Brian reportedly built 100 examples of the Supertwin, which featured a steel spine frame with an internal airbox and a claimed dry weight of 427 pounds. Black bodywork on this example houses a 4.2-gallon fuel tank and a solo seat. Other details include red clip-on handlebars, rearset foot controls, a license bracket eliminator, and Rizoma LED turn signals. The seller notes stress marks in the paint near the mirror mounts and an abrasion in the carbon fiber rear fender.

Gold 17″ forged OZ Racing wheels wear replacement ZR-rated Michelin tires sized 120/60 front and 180/55 rear. Adjustable suspension comprises an inverted Paioli fork and a box-section swingarm connected to an Öhlins monoshock with a rising-rate linkage in a parallelogram arrangement. Braking is from dual 420mm perimeter rotors with four-piston calipers up front and a single conventional 220mm disc with a four-piston caliper in the rear.

Veglia instrumentation sits inside the front fairing and consists of a 270-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with an 8k-rpm redline, and a five-digit odometer showing 16k kilometers (~10k miles), 7,500 kilometers of which have been ridden by the seller.

The 1,064cc transverse Moto Guzzi V-twin was factory-rated at 91 horsepower with 72 lb-ft. of torque and featured alloy pushrods and a Weber Marelli electronic ignition system from the factory. Modifications include a Bub Sport exhaust system and a mapped Dynojet Power Commander III. An oil change was reportedly carried out at 14k kilometers. Power is transferred to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a driveshaft.

A spare exhaust system, extra Ghezzi-Brian decals, a Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 owner's manual, and other documentation are included in the sale.
