| 1979 Moto Guzzi V50 II |
 |
Since the V50 was introduced a couple
of years ago there have been subtle styling
touches creating the V50 II. The stylish
cast swing arm is now painted silver rather
than black while the headlight bracket has
gone from chrome to a painted finish. But
the turn signals have gone from chrome to
a painted finish. But the turn signals have
gone from flat black to chrome. Also, the
polished aluminum alternator cover has been
replaced by a black plastic piece with air
vents and pinstriping has been added. Oh
yes, the headlight mounting ring is now
chromed, rather than flat black. |

| 1980 Moto Guzzi V50 Monza |
 |
While the V50 Monza provided significantly
improved performance over the V50, it was
still no match for the other sporting 500s
appearing at that time. Where the V50 Monza
really scored was in its weight and dimensions.
With a 1420mm wheelbase and weighing only
160kg, the bike was tiny - especially compared
to the comparable Honda CX500 "Plastic
Maggot". The quest for more power culminated
in the introduction of a four-valve cylinder
head on the 650cc Lario of 1984, but the
bike lost the fine looks and balance of
the V50 Monza. |
