Moto Guzzi SP 1000 & Guzzi factory wind tunnel motorcycle photo testing 6 photo

Description

A superb and rare photo, made from what we believe is the original negative, of a
Moto Guzzi SP 1000
motorcycles being tested in the Guzzi factory windtunnel.
This magnificent photo was made in the famous Moto Guzzi windtunnel at the factory grounds in Mandello del Lario, the mountainous town in
Northern Italy
. According Moto Guzzi the upper and lower fairings were shaped in the windtunnel. When testing in the windtunnel took place, the factory had to be shut down due to the large electricity consummation of the electrical propelled windtunnel engine.
In the 1950’s the windtunnel was extensively used by Moto Guzzi, for the development of their world championship winning single and multi cylinder racing machines. Later on the windtunnel was even used by some Italian Olympic bobsled teams to study their aerodynamics.
The SP 1000 turned out to be a very popular sports tourer, which was in production between 1978 and 1980, when it was followed up by the SP II and later the SP III.

non period

28 cm
).
