1946 Moto Guzzi GTV 500

, Italy. All vehicles manufactured by Moto Guzzi were distinguishable. This model is not an exception. In 1934, Guzzi has started manufacturing of the V model, the most typical model in the 500 cc class. Once the V was equipped with a compliant suspension for the rear wheel, it got the GTV name (Gran Turismo V). Before the war, the GTV had a double exhaust pipe and was painted into dark red. The followers had a single exhaust pipe and were painted into shiny red. It was an innovative model for Moto Guzzi because of the higher performance compared to the previous models and rounded forms & lines. #motoguzzi #gtv #500cc #italianstyle #italianmotorcycle #redbike #singlecylinder #vintagemotorcycle #classicmotorcycle #retromotorcycle #vintage #antique #classic #retro #flywheel #bikestagram #instamoto #instamotorcycle #racebike #highspeed #engineeering #oldschool #2wheels #postwar #1940s #1946 #motociclismo #motocicletta #moto #motosofwar
