Moto Guzzi 500cc Bicilindrica Omobono Tenni winner 1945 Italian GP Riccione

Description

A superb and rare photo, made from what we believe is the original negative, of the famous
500cc Moto Guzzi Bicilindrica “ V-twin ”
worksracer and the equally famous
Omobono Tenni
, just before the start of the 500cc race at Riccione in Italy on the 24
th
of September 1945. Tenni would win the race on the photographed machine!
The Bicilindrica twin cylinder racing bike was one of Guzzi’s most famous and longest running 500cc racing models. It was originally designed by
Carlo
Guzzi
in 1933, with help in the chassis department of his brother
Giuseppe
Guzzi
when it received a fully sprung frame in 1935.
Omobono
Tenni
needs no further introduction. He was one of the best pre war and early post war motorcycle racers. His career ended tragically when he died while practicing for the 1948 Swiss Grand Prix. Omobono Tenni had many nicknames, “the black devil” being perhaps the most famous one and was known for his spectacularly fast riding style. He was unbeatable when he was in form!
This is your rare chance to own this
non period
photo that reflects a very interesting and highly historic piece of both Moto Guzzi as Omobno Tenni’s legendary history. Therefore, it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 9.2" (ca. 20 x
23.5 cm
).
