Moto Guzzi V8 Grand Prix 500: a Motorcycle Racing Legend (the Motorcycle Files)

Moto Guzzi V8 Grand Prix 500: a Motorcycle Racing Legend (the Motorcycle Files)

Ask any race fan to nominate the most exotic and most desirable Grand Prix racer ever built, and the Moto Guzzi 500 V8 will be almost certainly be The One. It is the ne plus ultra of two-wheeled engineering, and although it effectively only raced for two years in 1956-57, and never won a World Championship GP, there is an aura about this semi-mythical motorcycle that’s entirely in keeping with its improbable specification, and incredible allure. Because any 500cc motorcycle conceived in the mid-1950s which revved safely to 16,000 rpm, and was speed-trapped at 286kmh/178mph along the Masta Straight at Spa-Francorchamps in its final race, produced 79 bhp at 12,500 rpm in its ultimate guise thanks to its eight cylinders, sixteen valves, eight carburettors and four camshafts is truly the stuff of legend.
