The firm was established in Missaglia, Lecco by Giuseppe Ghezzi and Bruni Saturno in 1995.
They won the 1996 Italian SuperTwin Championship with a much-modified Moto Guzzi which became the basis for their first model, the SuperTwin 1100. Powered by the V11's air-cooled, 1,064cc V-Twin, it featured a balanced flywheel, five-speed gearbox, and a custom exhaust system which contributed to the development of 94hp at 8,250rpm.
Production of these high-end Moto Guzzi-based sports machines began in 1999, and this was followed by the naked Furia which featured the same powertrain and chassis as its predecessor, but it was lighter and more agile. The Furia sported upside-down 41mm Paioli forks, Ohlins rear suspension, and a set of forged aluminum alloy OZ wheels — the front of which holds a massive rim-mounted 420mm disc with a four-piston caliper from the Braking firm. The naked ST also has a carbon rear guard, hand-welded aluminum fuel tank (with moulded knee-indented cover), fibreglass belly-pan, stacked projector-beam headlights held in ornate brackets, race-style subframe, carbon mirrors, micro-LED indicators, and an underslung exhaust that exits belowr the left rear-set. Weighing almost 36kg less than a stock V11 Sport, the Furia came in at just 184kg."
In 2004 the Fionda appeared. More recent models include the Dr John Tribute.
They have had good results in competition and were involved in the development of the Moto Guzzi MGS01 Corsa.
