Beskrivning
Moto Guzzi V 500 with twin shocks, registered in 1934. The motorcycle belongs to a private collection, in good condition.
The “V” series engine with its four-speed gearbox and full OHV specification was introduced at the end of 1933. It was produced over a thirty-year period, during which time it was repeatedly renewed and perfected. After the war the engine got an aluminium barrel-head assembly with enclosed valve gear and the model evolved into the new “Astore” and ‘Falcone” series.
Compared with the “S” that had the inlet valve on the side and the exhaust valve in the head, the “V” had some 30% more power, 18hp@ 4300rpm. Top speed was about 120km/ h.
