Moto Guzzi Airone Turismo, 1954, Italy
Born in 1939, the Airone was the classic and most common Italian medium-displacement motorcycle for fifteen years, a vehicle between the utilitarian moped and more powerful machines, such as the G.T.V. and later the Astore.
For some time the Airone was constantly updated and will only be removed from the line up in 1957, when modern light motorcycles with smaller engine displacements replaced it.
