250cc Moto Guzzi Bialbero d.o.h.c. factory GP racer

Enrico Lorenzetti
was an Italian professional Grand Prix motorcycle road racer who competed in the 1940s and 1950s. In 1952 he won the 250cc World Championship as a works rider for Moto Guzzi.
He is seen riding the magnificent and extreme lightly build
Moto Guzzi Bialbero d.o.h.c. single
. With their superb streamlining these wonderful machines won the 350cc world championship 5 times between 1953 and 1957. The Guzzi dohc Grand Prix bikes were like its sohc predecessors designed by the famous ing. Giulio Cesare Carcano though Enrico Cantoni and Umberto Todero also played a vital role. They delivered a healthy power output of 38 hp at 8,000 rpm. Topspeed was
150 mph
! They were very special motorcycles, designed by somebody that is considered a genius.
