1953 - 1966 Moto Guzzi ZigoloEdit
The Moto Guzzi Zigolo was launched in 1953 with a 98 cc two-stroke engine. That was probably also to the fact that producing a plate frame was much cheaper than a tubular frame. The engine was a single cylinder with a horizontal aluminum cylinder head and a cast-iron cylinder.
