The Moto Guzzi Nevada is a series of cruiser motorcycles manufactured and marketed by Moto Guzzi. It was built under the model names Nevada 350 and Nevada 750 from 1991 to 2016.[1]

History[edit]

The origin of the Nevada is the V35 Florida.[2][3] It was developed as a cheap motorcycle with a displacement of 350 cm3. The basic version had no extras. However, these could be added at an additional cost.

For commercial and marketing reasons, it was decided to give a new name after a US state. After California and Florida came Nevada in 1991. The new V35 was thus given a facelift that allowed the model to last into the 2010s and become the best-selling custom motorcycle in Italy. A year later, the Nevada 750 followed, a version with a well-known 744 cm3 engine.

Production of the 350cc was discontinued in 1999. In 2002, a restyling with important changes followed. The model shares most of the components with the Breva 750 introduced a year later. The air-cooled V2 engine still has a displacement of 744 cm3 and delivers 36 kW (48 hp) at 6800 rpm. It is equipped with electronic injection, regulated catalyst and lambda probe.[4]

The last model names were Nevada 750 Classic and Nevada 750 Aquila near (in English "black eagle", with all-black paintwork). A special anniversary version, dubbed the Nevada 750 Anniversario, was released in 2011 for the 20th anniversary of the Nevada range and the company's 90th anniversary and was sold through 2013.[5][6] The Nevada was discontinued in 2016.[7]
