WISH LIST

OK, Christmas is passed away, but for the next year I need to show my personal Wish List
Santa Klaus is informed

My dream bike for a night show

Maybe bette in silver-black stripe

Why not a bike for a Cape Horn ride ?

Maybe better with vintage wheels

And something to play with ?

To play is also good this

But this is more funny

Nice !

Something for a tour with the family ?

Military green,the best color for RE

But a special on Guzzi base, is still a dream

Especially on Mans

But maybe one day I would like to make a ride on circuit

And this one ? Why not ?

GUZZI AMBASSADOR & RITMOSERENO

How to make a stunning bike classic cafè racer starting from a vintage heavy and ultraglam Guzzi?
Ask to the guys of Ritmo Sereno 

By the way, following some nice pics of Guzzi Ambassador that could be a nice base from where to start, and probably it is still possible to find them at an affordable cost

GUZZI GAMBALUNGA



Nel 1946, l’ing. Giulio Cesare Carcano usò la sua genialità per progettare una nuova motocicletta le cui Linee Guida, come si direbbe adesso erano:


· Leggerezza

· Semplicità

· Ottima coppia

· Riduzione degli attriti.


Nacque così la Gambalunga

Il nome era dovuto alla corsa del motore, 90mm per 84mm di alesaggio, che si distingueva dai precedenti propulsori superquadri (82mm di corsa X 88mm di alesaggio) prodotti fino al 1921.

La moto era molto leggera, solo 125kg e questa caratteristica favoriva la sua proverbiale maneggevolezza.

Insieme ad altri modelli storici come il Dondolino, il Condor e l’Albatros, la Gambalunga fu sviluppata e venduta per numerosi piloti privati che grazie ad essa riuscirono ad imporsi in molte ed importanti competizioni fino al 1950.

Prodotta in ben 13 esemplari, ne rimangono ancora in vita almeno 7, il cui valore immagino essere inestimabile.

La produzione durò solo per 5 anni, ma la Gambalunga rimane uno dei pezzi più ricercati della storia della Moto italiana e a mio personalissimo avviso una moto dal fascino indiscutibile.
Di seguito un breve video

In 1946, Eng. Giulio Cesare Carcano used his genius to design a new motorcycle, which guidelines - as we are used to say now - they were:


· Lightweight

· Simplicity

· High torque

· Reduction of friction

Thus was born the Gambalunga


The name was due to the motor shaft, 90mm per 84mm bore, that was different from previous engines-square (82mm stroke X 88mm Bore) produced until 1921.
The bike was very light, just 125kg and this feature favored its perfect handling.

Along with other historical models such as the “Dondolino”, the “Condor” and the “Albatros”, the Gambalunga (it sounds like Long Leg) was developed and sold to many private pilots who were able to be succesful in many important competitions until 1950.
Produced in 13 examples, there are still alive at least 7, the value of which I imagine to be priceless.

The production lasted only for 5 years, but the Gambalunga is one of the most wanted model of the history of Italian motorcycles, and in my personal opinion a motorbike with an undeniable charm.Below is a short video

ITALIAN CAFE' STYLE

Caffetteria Italiana


As it seems Guzzi is putting more and more effort in the Cafè Racer and Modern Classis segment.
Although its effort, the Mandello Lario factory is putting on the market this new model that, with 49 CV (36kW) and plastic tank, leave us a little perplex.

In the meantime, we take the chance to show as a Sincere Tribute the Guzzi that we mostly like looking across the web.
