This new single-cylinder was characterized by the new distribution, in fact it was equipped with overhead valves with distribution by connecting rods and rocker arms, and a new four-speed gearbox (called in "V". 0:23 < Home "V"). Displacement remained at 500 cc. like previous models. The chassis had a double-tube cradle, while in terms of suspension the GTV initially fitted a conventional parallelogram fork with central spring, which was later replaced by a more modern telehydraulic unit. The rear suspension with elastic clutches was replaced by a 'normal' swingarm with double lateral shock absorbers. The engine produced 22 hp and was capable of propelling the bike to a top speed of around 120 km/ h. Production of the GTV ended in 1948, replaced first by the Astore and then by the Falcone from 1950.
