Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europes oldest motorcycle manufacturer, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario ever since. Always innovative, they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. Whilst renowned for their large capacity four strokes Guzzi also produced a range of smaller two strokes in conjunction with Benelli, to satisfy demand on the home market, with very few being seen in the UK.

The Moto Guzzi Tuttuterreno, Italian for ‘all terrain’, was a result of Guzzis tie-up with Benelli during the De Tomaso years. A rare bike in the UK, its basically half the Benelli 250 2C twin and was also sold as the Benelli 125 Trail. This 1973 model is presented in excellent condition having undergone an extensive restoration back to original, standard condition. Registered in the UK, it comes supplied with a copy of the owners manual and current V5C.

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike and beginning a range of SOHC Honda fours ranging from 350cc upwards. The 500 model followed shortly after the 750, eventually growing to 550cc.

The Honda CB550/4 on offer is a very original machine, the silencers have been changed due to bad corrosion, but apart from that it has mellowed well over the years. It has a few marks here and there but overall it’s a very presentable machine for its age. The current vendor has not used it much since the purchase due to other commitments. It comes complete with a current V5C and a folder with paperwork.
