    1960 Stornello Sport 125cc

    Just picked this up last weekend in California. Museum quality. Matching numbers.

    I bought the Stornello from a private collection. Starts first kick. Finished 1st in it's class in the Arizona Moto Giro 2011, and 3rd in it's class in the California Moto Giro 2011. Also finished 2nd in the Concours d'Elegance in Huntington Beach California 2011. It really is museum quality.

    The only thing better than the pics in your OP is the pic of you riding it.

    But great to see it ridden as it should be and not on display only! Gorgeous bke and reminds me of the Parilla Gran Sport I stupidly sold a few years ago.

    I see all of the photos disappeared when I rearranged my photobucket albums. Here's one for posterity in this thread. (I was looking at the moto guzzi web site and they have a photo of a Stornello Sport that looks exactly like mine.)




    This photo is from the moto guzzi web site.
