Moto Guzzi 350 GTS and 400 GTS.  I didn't know Guzzi made Honda CB500's?  This must be a European model. Is it a rebadged Honda?  Or maybe ar rebadged Benelli copy of a Honda?




Its a rebadged Benelli..

Alejandro de Tomaso owned both Benelli and Moto Guzzi during that time period.  He was determined to sell more bikes.  Rebadging made sense.  Too bad we never got any of these interesting smaller four cylinder bikes over here.

Maybe, but perhaps it is just the difference between an early year model and a later year model.  Most likely the blue Benelli pictured above without the kicker is a later year model since it also has disk front brakes.  The Guzzi model is probably an earlier year with kicker and drum front brakes.

If you like vintage race bikes you might like this video. There is plenty of Italian bike content.

Is there even any cake in there, or is it just cardboard and fondant like the rest of the "cakes" that are made on TV these days.

I bumped into one of de Tomaso's grand (or maybe great grand) daughters the other day. I was wearing a Moto Guzzi sweatshirt and she stopped me to inquire about it because she so rarely sees one. She told me about growing up and being the only girl in school with Benelli and Guzzi stickers on her books. Insisted on taking a pick of the sweatshirt too...

I remember seeing the cake being cut, the whole top half (seat, helmet, tank) is cake, and the rest is rice crispies and smaller blocks of cake.

This cake reminds me of "theme bikes".

I want a cake that looks like a cake.

And bikes don't need any theme beyond those included with the performance parameters of one's choosing.
