1966 Moto Guzzi Stornello 125 ISD Trial

[Bill Hagan]

For those who yearn for Guzzi-content-only threads ...  :D

Got an email from "Motorcycle Classics" with an interesting article about (yet another) Guzzi I knew nothing about.

A pretty thing; doesn't look as if featured one ever saw much mud.

Wonder where the other 74 imported to the USA are?

 One of them is in the Seaba Station MC museum in Oklahoma .

I may have seen one at an FIM trials comp in NH a while ago. Definitely a Stornello off-road, and running (loudly)

Sure would like the Lodola version though.

I took 2 of them and made one good one for a guy that bought one of them new.

    
How many have ever seen this Guzzi model?

For years and years one sits in a friends shop next to his other Guzzi's in IL.

Yes, I saw that article. 

The street Stornello bikes were also interesting. Guzzi has made a bunch of models that are little-known, especially in the US.

Having a NFalcone, I've read about these obscure Guzzi bikes for a while now and I've had the treat of seeing them in the Guzzi museum at Mandello dL.

Anyone interested can pick up a Guzzi history book and read all about them. Going back to 1921 is a long time.

Among later bikes, the Stornello, Lodola, Zigolo, Dingo, Cardellino and other models, four-stroke and two-stroke, came from this historic factory.

Yes,

I got that article too.  A great bike, but I suspect the few out there are major $$$.

I can dream.

I really do have a soft spot for <250cc bikes. I'd really like to try a Giro or maybe vintage MX. On the other hand, I'm big enough to look sorta out of place on a small bike. I rode a Sachs 125 a few times when I was a lad. It really seemed like all I would ever need, at the time...
