The House of Mandello del Lario has brought the successful V 50 to its third generation, in the embodiment of the 1985 MY Moto Guzzi V 50 III. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 490cc, V-twin powerplant paired to a five-speed manual transmission, that produces a claimed 48 horsepower and 44 Nm of torque. In addition, it features a high-end dual shock rear suspension, which increases agility and rider comfort, as well as twin-spoked wheels, which are lighter and improve its overall performance.
