This means that, in marking the Centenary last year of the foundation of this legendary company now owned by Piaggio, Moto Guzzi Racers includes not only the complete technical evolution and racing history of the fabulous 500cc V8, but also all the bikes which preceded it, including Moto Guzzi’s World title-winning 250cc and 350cc singles, as well as its various 500cc singles, twins and four-cylinder contenders.
