Moto Guzzi “<\/strong>G.T.W.”, 1948, Italy<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Moto Guzzi GTV<\/strong> was produced from 1934 <\/strong>and represents a turning point in Moto Guzzi production: it’s in fact the first model to be powered by an overhead valve<\/strong> engine, replacing the opposite valve one.
\nThe GTW,<\/strong> cosmetically identical to the\u00a0GTV,<\/em> was the sports version, with a higher compressione ratio<\/strong> and bigger<\/strong> ca<\/strong>rburator,<\/strong> for an overall power of 22<\/strong> hp at 4500<\/strong> rpm.
\nIt’s a very rare model, only 159<\/strong> GTWs were produced before WWII.
\nThe production will briefly restart after the war, between 1948<\/strong> and 1949,<\/strong> in a version with updated brakes and suspensions, alloy wheels and a different sportier handlebar, as the bike displayed a the museum.
\nThe GTV will be replaced by the new Astore<\/a><\/strong> model shortly after.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
