The Moto Guzzi 750 Strada is a 743 cc standard motorcycle first manufactured in 1992 by Italian company Moto Guzzi. Based on the Moto Guzzi 350 roadster, the 750 Strada was lighter than the V7 Sport, but much less powerful.

Following the established Moto Guzzi pattern of a transverse V-twin engine and shaft drive, the 750 Strada used an enlarged version of the lightweight 1990s Guzzi 350/500 engine.

The 750 Strada was an easy-to-ride motorcycle, suitable as a first "big bike" whose 48 bhp output was never intimidating (and which gave a top speed of only some 95 mph).^[1] (The earlier, heavier V7 produced some 70 bhp). The clever linked-braking system (where the foot pedal operated the rear brake and just one of the front discs) was safe and effective. The seat height was even lower than on the V7, making it accessible to women riders.

Reception

The 750 Strada was a motorcycle that never really caught the imagination of buyers, as the power output was too low for some bikers, while the smaller and cheaper 350 and 500 models served the purposes of riders seeking a runabout. The 750 Strada afforded the rider no wind protection, and was less reliable than some Moto Guzzis.^[2] Production was discontinued after only some 2 years.
