The V50 Monza was the baby brother to the V7 and Le Mans models. Displacing a modest 500cc and producing an even more modest 48 horsepower, the Monza configuration provided for bigger valves and different carbs over that of the standard V50. Intending to introduce an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand, the V50 was an attempt to create a smaller, more approachable and more affordable slot in the Moto Guzzi lineup. V50 Monza’s were a real gem that is often overlooked. Essentially a 'Baby Le Mans', but their lower weight and smaller size make them a nice bike for back roads or local cruising.
This Monza has had light restoration with stainless steel exhaust system, new battery and tyres fitted recently. Registered on 31st March 1981, the machine now benefits from being registered Historic. Among work done, the frame and wheels have been powder coated. An example of a very desirable and rare lightweight Sports model of the Motor Guzzi V50 range, a model that played an important part in the 100 years history of Moto Guzzi. This machine comes complete with a current V5C.
