MG's V-twin was originally used in Moto Guzzi Mulo Meccanico, a three-wheeled thingie for the Italian army during WWII. You should check it out. Very interesting vehicle. Also MG produced quite quirky 2 strokes, ie. Moto Guzzi Zigolo with the horizontal 98cc cylinder or 250cc Moto Guzzi TS Elettronica - one of first 2-strokes with electronic ignition.

Wasn't the V-twin used in a target drone for the Italian air force? Sure I remember reading that somewhere!

@@creepingjesus5106 yes, and they also made a motor guzzi light aircraft, the Mule engine in the 3 wheeled military machine does not however share the same engine as the motorcycles, it was totally different, the company also produced light agricultural machinery, scooters, and a motorcycle equipped with skis, they have one of every machine, including the origional Guzz and Parodi machine in the Museum, and just across the Piazza, is the workshop of Carlos Uncle, where he developed his first motorcycles

i love moto guzzi
My favorite brand of motorcycle. Reliable and simple compared to the rest.
Moto Guzzi produced lots of little 2-stroke singles after the war that rarely get mentioned. They helped keep the company going through the 40s and 50s.

Very important and correct fact...the little Motoguzzino 75 was made many thousand times and production went so far that they had to stop making other bigger models just to fill orders...2 stroke was a very new thing to Guzzi, but after WW2 a way to get moving again...in Italy and surrounding countries!!!
Love Guzzi I have had 5. Beautiful

absolutely fantastic video. The le mans at the end beautiful. Right up my street ❤️
W le moto Guzzi e a settembre tutti a mandello 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍✌️✌️
Seriously cool choice today sir! Thankyou for delving and for sharing!
Parabéns a Moto Guzzi por suas motos maravilhosas, brilhando nesse mundo de motocicletas!
The 1939 Alce 500 is s-o-o-o-o pretty. Italian motorcycle engine design was way ahead of the rest of the world, at least, up to 1960 or so.
Moto guzzi bicilindrica achieved good results :-) it nearly dominated competitions from 1933 to 1955 so it was 20 years ahead of its time. Fantastic video btw, excellent job mate
Big up 👍🏿 Mandello De Lario!!!
Гарний випуск вийшов, дякую 👍👍👍
The 3 last bikes are my Favorites 😃👍
I had my first Guzzi in 82, a 75 T3 California, then a Cali II folowing a Eldorado, a Ambasador....then later a GT...another V7 special came and left...then several more classic V-twins and today a V85TT and a huge Cali 1400...do I love Moto Guzzi???! Ya bet yar tush- tush!!!
My dad rode a Moto Guzzi in motocross in the 50s and 60s.
Great, Thank you ! When you have tested these bikes one day it is unforgatble After some years of infedelity I have just get the new V85 TT Travel : always the same pleasure Cheers from France 👋🇫🇷

@@jamespeters5913 yes, as long as you didn't add too much front brake in an emergency. As a traffic cop did on his private Le Mans on a training course I was instructing on.
I've owned a SP1000 and a V11 Lemans NERO CORSA with the Ohlins suspension.
I always thought that the Guzzis were some of the coolest bikes around. I would love to make one into a chopper or a bagger. Thanks for the video. Hope you are on the mend. Hello from Florida.

In Minute 5 : a Metzeler Front Tyre used as a rear Tyre 😂 ! This is Italy - anyway , once more a lovely Report !

Nothing wrong with that. Propably due to size available. You only have to mount the tire “the other way round” so the carcass can handle the acceleration forces instead of decelleration forces.

Never owned or drove one, but they always reminded me of the 80’s Honda CX500/650 models. Not my cup of tea, but nice presentation.
