Title: Airone 250 turismo
Post by: Fra79 on May 28, 2019, 10:54:52 AM

Hi to all,
this is my Airone 250 Turismo ,born in 1953. The paint is the original one.All the motorcycle is running   well,he muffler is the only non original part, is a typical guzzi muffler but a sportier one.
Ciao
Francesco

Welcome aboard, Francesco!

What a beautiful bike. Do you ride it on longer trips, or only around town?

Also, if I may ask, how do you find it compares with a Falcone?

Best wishes,

Moto

Ciao, Francesco.  Nice moto.  Background looks like Italy.  Where?

We also have a discussion forum specific for the single-cylinder Guzzi.  Find us on Google Groups.  "guzzi-singles"  (need to have the hyphen character).

We have some Airone riders in my Falcone club from the Vicenza area.  http://motohayes.com/mgc/main.html (http://motohayes.com/mgc/main.html)

A beautiful example! The fishtail exhaust does give it a sportier look. I'll wager it sounds pretty nice, too.

Good looking Airone Francesco!  How long have you had it?

I have an old ratty GTV that I am working on.

Generally small trips, around 40 km, but I have to admit that's is a comfortable bike .I never ride a Falcone buy when you see them together (Falco e and Airone), you notice how Falcone Is bigger and powerful!.
Ciao Francesco
