Title: Guzzi configured Innocenti ( Lambretta)
Post by: Kentktk on March 19, 2015, 12:14:41 PM

Don`t know much about this bike other than it`s a 1954 built by Innocenti. Seems Innocenti had the configuration before Guzzi.

Innocenti is certainly not the first. Indian, Burgmeister, Marusho Lilac to name a few.

Lambretta 250, designed by Ing. Salmaggi, built in 1951, tested but never raced. Rumor has it that Lambretta was none too happy with other manufacturers (particularly Guzzi and Gilera) building scooters and that bike was a "warning shot" to let them know that if necessary, Lambretta could and would build motorcycles too. Guzzi's way around the problem was to build a "big-wheeled" scooter, the Galletto, therefore not competing directly.

Innocenti = Lambretta.

Same motorcycle, sitting in the same room, different color balance, windows covered with posters in "Lambretta" photo (in case anyone didn't notice).
