Hi Jason,
I few I found browsing through the Moto Guzzi Gold Portfolio 1949-1973
book...
Airone Sport:
-Moto Guzzi "Airone Sport" - a lively two-fifty with a racing pedigree
-Robust Italian machine capable of withstanding very hard driving:
Remarkably light petrol consumption
Moto Guzzi 65
-A diminutive Italian machine of outstanding all-round performance for
its size
Zigolo 98cc
-Outstanding Italian lightweight with race-bred steering, suspension and
brakes, and remarkably high performance
Lodola 235cc Gran Turismo
-Quiet even to the most delicate ears. The exhaust note is held to a
minimum by the ultra-long muffler. [this is my personal favorite :>]
Zigolo 110 cc
-Sprightly Italian lightweight with clean lines, excellent roadholding
and powerful brakes
Lodola ISDT
-Five cogs the little gem I was riding had.
V-700
-An exotic transverse-V engine and the latest in light-alloy technology
lend zest and stamina to this newest of the big-bore tourers
Ambassador
-If it dwarfs the ordinary motorcycle, it also dwarfs the miles. Start
for Fairbanks on the Guzzi and you'll get there
1947 500cc GTV
-an "eccentric machine, obviously the product of original thought
V7 Sport
-A motorcycle of character and performance

I'm exploring an idea for a t-shirt for an upcoming Guzzi rally. The idea is to use a quote from an old motorcycle magazine review of a Guzzi- the older the better. Anybody have any good quotes (and sources if possible)? Thanks, Jason (Even homespun quotes would be entertaining, I bet.) |
