'52 Guzzi Galletto 160

Single-sided swingarm. Should look familiar to Ducati owners...

yup and the front and back wheels use the same hub so you can put that spare on the front or back.

you have to remove the sprocket and the front hub has an axle cap on each side.

those are pretty zippy but way underbraked.

I rode one in Italy, but it was a 190 and had a starter.  It was a lot of fun, but it would have been better with a pillion so my wife wasn't riding on the cargo rack.  lol.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Here is a little more on the Galletto from our friends over at WildGuzzi.com.  Notice the cool rooster decal.  Galletto means "cockerel" or "rooster" in English.

It is a beautiful engine.  I love the way the overhead cams are encased.  It looks like you can simply remove the top covers and simply lift the cams right out.

^^ Hate the wheels.   Like the restyled, more rounded cylinder cooling fins.  Hate the wheels  vomit.

I have always thought the Laverda twins looked like enlarged versions of Honda 305 engines of the 60s.
