1955 Moto Guzzi Airone Sport 250

The Moto Guzzi Airone Sport 250 was the most popular medium capacity motorcycle in Italy for almost 15 years. They began production in 1939 and ran through 1957, only pausing during the war years. Our Airone 250 was from 1955. It was in good condition, but not a perfect restoration. The Airone has a horizontal single cylinder, four stroke 247cc engine. The transmission was a four-speed chain drive. The external flywheel was a feature of all the Guzzi models. It's maximum speed was around 60 mph. The name Airone in Italian means Heron. Many of the Guzzi bikes were named after birds, i.e., Falcone for falcon and Galetto for rooster (the Galetto is a scooter).

The Moto Guzzi Grand Prix V8, introduced in 1955, was a 500 cc racing motorcycle fitted with a V8 engine using dual overhead camshafts (DOHC). The engine was conceived by Giulio Carcano, Enrico Cantoni, Umberto Todero, Ken Kavanagh and Fergus Anderson just after the 1954 Monza Grand Prix and designed by Dr. Carcano.[26] The bore and stroke of the engine were 44.0 mm × 40.5 mm (1.73 in × 1.59 in): there were two valves per cylinder. Power was in the region of 80 bhp (60 kW) at 12,000 rpm, approximately 10 to 15 bhp (7.5–11.2 kW) more than the rival 4-cylinder MV Agustas and Gileras.
