Moto Guzzi motorcycles were first used by the Italian Army in the late 1920s, prompting the introduction of a model designed specifically for military use in 1932. This was the GT17, based on the civilian GT16. By 1939 a lightened and improved development, the GT20, had entered service. Renamed 'Alce' (elk) soon after introduction, it would serve as the Italian Army's main military motorcycle during WW2, in excess of 6,000 being delivered up to 1943. Post-war, the Alce was updated with a foot-change gearbox and the more powerful overhead-valve engine of the GTV/GTW in single-port configuration, becoming the Superalce, which remained in service with the Italian Army and police well into the 1950s. The model was never sold commercially.

Presented in military livery and specification, this charismatic Superalce is an older restoration which is now showing some signs of pitting to the brightwork. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). The machine is offered with 'as purchased' photographs only and no documents. Key not required.
