Skeeve Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 http://www.cycleworld.com/2012/08/09/moto-guzzi-model-boxes article Got a kick out of this! The Otto Cilindri was a transversely-mounted, chain-final drive technical tour de force headed up by our favorite Guzzi engineer, Carcano in the early '50s when MG was still contesting [& winning] international GP road racing.

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 What's wrong w/ this picture? He has a set of plastic models - a single cylinder, a four cylinder and an eight cylinder. I guess what's wrong is they are only plastic?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Weird. Guzzi never made an inline 4 in that direction and certainly didn't mate it with a shaft. Actually, looking at it- it looks like a V8ish (but still longitudinal)...like a Motus? Damn you Skeeve, I need a glass of whisky now. Maybe Jim is right- the guy just put some model pieces together?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luhbo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Of course they did! They raced it even, albeit without very much success. Also look up Protar Models and the man behind it. What's weird about the pictures? Just one link Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
