Italy’s rebirth from the ashes of the war was assisted by two-wheeled vehicles like mopeds, scooters and lightweight motorcycles. Such conveyances supplied the mobility necessary for reconstruction which the bigger vehicles used by the public transport systems were unable to guarantee. Guzzi made its own particular, and essential, contribution to all this in the form of a very light motorcycle which, thanks to its uncomplicated aspect plus the undoubted quality guaranteed by the Guzzi name, soon earned itself a vast clientele ranging from workmen to doctors. The Motoleggera Guzzino was built from 1946 – 1954. It is an example of design and engineering of the post war era to prove mass transport to all.

It was on display with 8 other Moto Guzzi bikes at The Quail Motorsports Gathering showing the evolution of the Moto Guzzi 500 which won an award. Having been nicely restored with great care as a period piece. This Guzzino “Baby Guzzi” is ready to ride or show.
