Beschreibung
This motorcycle is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
Moto Guzzi's Galletto (or 'cockerel') offered scooter-type weather protection and comfort allied to the superior handling qualities of a true motorcycle. For the engine Guzzi kept with tradition, specifying an overhead-valve, air-cooled 'flat single' with outside flywheel. The cycle parts consisted of a tubular steel spine frame combined with sheet metal pressings, a leading-link front fork and single-sided rear swinging-arm. Launched in March 1950 in 160cc/ three-speed form, the Galletto was upgraded to 175cc and four speeds in 1952 and then to 192cc in 1954. Offered for restoration, the machine's condition and completeness is unknown, and there is evidence of rust throughout. Imported from Sri Lanka some years ago, its Sri Lankan log book lists 3 previous owners prior to UK import. Offered with a NOVA, the machine will require registration by the buyer following restoration.
