Quite simply, no other factory has managed to equal what Moto Guzzi has achieved since it began back in the early 1920s.
Carlo Guzzi and his partner(s) established their then-new firm on the shores of Lake Como and from it came some of the most astounding achievements in motorcycle racing history. The sheer breadth of design configurations was incredible and, most amazing of all, still unmatched as the king of the 1950s Golden Age of Racing was the Moto Guzzi V8!
