Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design, with the sporty Le Mans models becoming the most sought after model. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity vee-twins with the V50 Monza becoming known as the 'baby Le Mans'. The Monza sported bigger valves and carbs over that of the standard V50 introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.

This Monza has been the subject of light restoration, benefitting from a stainless steel exhaust system, new battery and tyres fitted recently. Registered on 31st March 1981, the machine now benefits from being registered Historic. Among work done, the frame and wheels have been powder coated. An example of a very desirable and rare lightweight Sports model of the Motor Guzzi V50 range, a model that played an important part in the 100 years history of Moto Guzzi. This machine comes complete with a current V5C.
