Moto Guzzi GTV 500

1939 Moto Guzzi GTV500. a Falcone forerunner. Not a showpiece by any means. but good honest transport for two. It has completed many far flung rallies and journeys and never failed to get home reliably. All original with an adjustable steering damper. girder forks with adjustable dampers. swinging arm rear suspension also with adjustable damping which is altogether a very modern specification of cycle parts even by the latest standards. Typically smooth motor with external “bacon slicer “ flywheel. Bills with the bike show a gearbox overhaul completed here at NLM. and a fully restored cylinder head. Lots of MoTs and a useful parts book £12. 45 [sn3150]
