A close relative of the Lodola, the Stornello (starling) debuted at the Milan Show in December 1959. Powered by a 124cc overhead-valve unitary construction engine featuring parallel valves and an inclined cylinder, carried in a twin-down-tube frame, the Stornello combined adequate performance with excellent fuel economy and sound handling. Its designer was the legendary race engineer Giulio Carcano, the man responsible for Moto Guzzi's spectacular V8. A Sport version, equipped with a totally different cylinder head and larger carburettor, followed in 1961. Offered here is an example of the 160cc Stornello, an extensively revised and improved model introduced towards the end of 1968. Apparently original and complete, the machine displays a total of 35,454km (22,031 miles) on the odometer and is offered for restoration. There are no documents with this Lot.
