Produced for nearly two decades, the Moto Guzzi Airone (translates to Heron) featured a 250cc engine in varying forms like a Sport model and this military variant. The external flywheel was affectionately known as the “salami slicer” and it helped keep the dimensions of the engine case minimal.
Expect just over 9 horsepower and a top speed of 59 miles per hour. This is one of the later models, as Airone production stopped in 1956. This example is claimed to be totally stock and includes military pieces like the leg guards, luggage rack, and more which have been removed but are included with the sale. The seller refreshed the mechanicals while trying to keep the cosmetics as original as possible. It’s been entered into the Moto Giro USA and is claimed to run strong.
