Bianchi “Bianchina”, 1950, Italy\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Italian economic boom after WWII was characterized by the search for cheap vehicles with low fuel consumption; therefore in the mid-40s the market for small displacement motorbikes began to grow, especially under 125cm3<\/sup><\/strong>.
\nThe Bianchina<\/strong> was designed by Marco Baldi in 1945 <\/strong>and the production started in 1946<\/strong> with many variants were later made but still based on the first project with the same engine. It has a classic mechanical scheme and it\u2019s powered by a 2-stroke single cylinder engine, clearly inspired by the 1938 DKW RT. Its performance was modest by choice and for this reason the bike was nicknamed \u201cTrottapiano<\/strong>\u201d (\u201cSlow-trot<\/em>\u201d), nevertheless Bianchi\u2019s quality and competitive price turned it into a success.
\nIn 1948<\/strong> the Turismo Lusso<\/strong> version was introduced and later the Gran Lusso Extra <\/strong>in 1950<\/strong>. The aesthetic differences consist in the white and blue paint of the frame coupled with a chromed fuel tank with red details.<\/p>\n

Museo Nicolis houses a rich exhibit of Bianchi bicycles<\/a><\/strong>, motorcycles<\/strong> and cars<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
