Ghezzi & Brian is an Italian motorcycle engineering firm and manufacturer based in Missaglia.

History

Ghezzi & Brian was founded in 1995 or 1996 by Giuseppe Ghezzi and Bruno (Brian) Saturno, both former racers, to develop racing motorcycles using twin-cylinder engines.

Starting in 1999, the company began to sell motorcycles for street use. A fundamental characteristic of all the Ghezzi & Brian machines is sportiness and personality derived from Moto Guzzi V layout twin-cylinder engines.

Models

The first model put in production is the SuperTwin 1100, derived from the Championship 1996 machine.

The Furia was called "close to streetfighter perfection" in a Motorcycle.com review.

The Pro-Thunder has been developed exclusively for participation in the American A.M.A. Championship. It has a Moto Guzzi 1225 cc motor.

The Fionda was introduced in 2004.

In 2024, the firm introduced the Monza, a Moto Guzzi V11 kit optionally including a new swingarm and high compression pistons.
