Alan Cathcart, one of the world\u2019s most famous motorcycle journalists, has released yet another book. His latest work covers the history of the Moto Guzzi factory Grand Prix racers from 1921 up to 1957, when the company withdrew from racing at the end of that season, having won the 350 cc World Championship for the fifth successive year.<\/p>\n

This means that, following the Piaggo-owned company\u2019s centenary last year, Moto Guzzi Factory Racers includes not only the complete technical evolution and racing history of the fabulous 500 cc V8, but also all the bikes which preceded it, including Moto Guzzi\u2019s world title-winning 250 cc and 350 cc singles, as well as its various 500 cc singles, twins and four-cylinder contenders. <\/p>\n

Cathcart also includes his riding impressions of two of the most significant models in Guzzi\u2019s racing history, the wide-angle 500 cc, 120-degree V-twin \u201cBicilindrica\u201d and the iconic V8 \u201cOtto Cilindri\u201d that succeeded it.<\/p>\n

The book is available as a large 30 x 23 cm hardcover coffee table book printed on quality paper, with 160 pages and 91 full page photos. <\/p>\n
