[turtlemann14]

what kind of displacement were these bikes working with?

[cluffy71]

Approx 500cc, I think the pistons were 25mm diameter.

[turtlemann14]

so it had pretty much no stroke?

[cluffy71]

Sorry got it wrong, 44mm bore, 42mm stroke

[tomio145]

Its four stroke my dear ignorant, retarded friend.

@motorguzzi100 There were many crashes because the handling and chassis wasn't up to the brilliant, powerful engine. It was unsuccessful, needed a lot more development and although there were 2 machines available, no one (who was capable of winning) would ride one. If it were winning then perhaps Moto Guzzi would not have withdraw from racing despite economic difficulties.

@droceretik wromg answer guzzi was short of funds and retired from racing the year this bike stopped racing they could not afford to continue its development
