Moto Guzzi is the oldest European manufacturer in continuous production of motorcycles. Their reputation is known throughout the world for building winning motorcycles and being an innovator in the industry. When Grand Prix motorcycle racing started at the end of 1949, Moto Guzzi joined the racing circuit and became a prominent name that dominated the middleweight classes.

Offered here is a total custom paring of old school design with modern technology for a drivetrain. The goal in building this bike was to replicate the old Dust Bin era of Formula Grand Prix racing bikes from the 1950s. The fairing, gas tank and the rear tail section on this bike have been hand-fabricated out of aluminum. The engine is a 774-cc, 50-hp, 9.6:1 compression ratio with two-valves per cylinder and is fuel-injected. The exhaust is from a BSA rocket 3. The seat has been hand-made out of leather.

This no-expense-spared build has said to have been completed between the respected Pro Italia motorcycle shop in Glendale California and collector Barry Weiss from the hit TV series Storage Wars.
