- Moto Guzzi Ottocilindri (1952) ... he was a little reluctant to come back to life, but the mechanics were still successful in persuading ... Pino Todero, Antonio Frigerio and Giuseppe Ioannoni. Giacomo Agostini is the moral support :-)

![MV Agusta GP 500/3 and 500/4 replica - loud and proud with Giacomo Agostini [classic motorcycles]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NAo2IjDqeS0/mqdefault.jpg)
I met Giacomo at phillip island. He signed my jacket:)
Nice man. He let my lad sit on his bike (the Honda six)👍
It’s fantastic seeing Ago still riding , I was a teenager when he was racing and winning at the Isle of Man and the great battles he had with Mike the bike
Ago is alive and kicking ... the king!
All these years later and it is still impressive.
Yes ... very much impressive.
To see G.A. and this Bike = ICONIC !!! Many thanks, its a great Footage !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers Frank!
For their 100th anniversary moto guzzi should have built 100 modern interpretations of this bike, I'm sure they could have asked for as much money as they liked and they would have sold out immediately.
They should have. Yes, they all would of been pre ordered before construction.
Maybe they think financially best to sell hundred thousands "common" roads bikes than selling a few if these even at a stupid price
Yes Ducati does that a lot. Think of the Hailwood replicas.
@@guitariste47 Stupid price?
Stupid comment...
@@guitariste47 i soliti francesi....👏👏👏
I was quite impressed with the sounds emanating from the surrounding other bikes, but then I got a bit of a fright when the old V8 Moto Guzzi engine exploded back into life - fantastic!
:-)
Enjoy!
Motorcycling magazine had an artist impression of the engine in 1957 , the crankshaft a masterpiece with all ball and roller bearings with each section splined together.
i had this revue ....it was amazing to see all the pieces so entirely draw at hand and i know what was the GUZZY v8 ...a master piece of art ...
Superb! I have never seen such close up detail of the Guzzi V8 before. Thanks so much for posting.

0:23 look at the 8 exauhst pipe's with nothing in it,very best sound and this bike is from the 60er!! Big respect for the ingenieur's in the passt! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
Hi Reiner ... your English is very good, do not worry about. Enjoy "classic music" ... cheers!
1950s Bro
Look at those eight open exhaust pipes - the very best sound and this bike is from the '60s!! Huge respect to the engineers of the past! Apologies for my poor English but Best Wishes from Germany! Herre Reiner. (or words to that effect. Certainly better than my German any day. Ja!) 🙂
Yes it sounds good, but you put to hear Giacomo fire up his MV🤗

The shape of that tank!!! It needs to be in the Louvre next to Mona Lisa.
That is as good as watching the V6 laverda
Dilemma ...
Mostro Guzzi!
By todays Standard this Bike looks like a Scratchbuilt Bike with all this rough tubing, but when you know how Old it is, it really is a Masterpiece in engineering. Some insanely Features not even many Modern Bikes have are Onboard. Two Stage Springs at the Front, Liquid cooled V8 Engine on the Bike... I cannot even imagine the Bravery of the Riders pushing this Beast around a Racetrack. Also, Giacomo Agostini... By the things he acomplished, i´d call him the Moto Godfather of Racing... Unbelievable how good he suits his MV Agusta at the Age of 80! What a living and riding Legend.
All true ... cheers!
Ago, simply king of bike.
I discover this Guzz, a masterpiece of engineering, thanks for sharing !
My pleasure! Enjoy!
Ago .... ogni volta lo vedo a Varano per l'ASI show un tuffo al cuore
Thank God I was got to see Ago ride the V8 Guzzi in a demo at Calder Park Raceway in Victoria Australia when I was a teenager, must have been around 1975, Ago gave it some stick and it sounded glorious!
Ago is still young and this Guzzi still sounds glorious ... nothing has changed :-)
Now that’s a rolling piece of art. Looks like it just rolled out of a museum,except for the new modern batteries.
Hi Maurice ... more art: czcams.com/video/7ytAXzIFsfE/video.html

Bel video :-) Bello quando il pilota e i tecnici lavoravano sulla Guzzi, e bello quando c’era Agostini. Speriamo che tutti vivano molto più di cento anni, in salute.
Thank you. Cheers Ferdinando!

Hallo! Schau mal bitte bei 4:01 der Gummischlauch vom Ölbehälter(müsste einer sein Trockensumpfschmierung) hat lauter Risse weil der scheinbar Ur alt ist,wenn der während der Fahrt Öl durch lässt oder gar platzt dann läuft das aufs Hinterrad und auf die Stecke,für ihn absolut Lebensgefährlich für den Fshrer und die Anderen auf der Strecke! Sind die Mechaniker Blind,so etwas muss doch auffallen wenn ich das schon sehe!?? Tipp="Immer erst anhalten dann absteigen"!😅😉

I remember seeing this on a list of greatest ever motorbikes, I think it belonged to Jay Leno, he said it's "like taking apart a watch!". My grandad remembers one screaming down a strait when he watched a race at the Nuremberg in 1955.

changed my mind once it fired up.
The dual wheelchair batteries are nice touch.
Yes, oui évidement la belle Ducati et son moteur en V, je l'avais oubliée celle ci , mais c'était bien elle. Vu dans les livres moto 🏍 , là c'est clair que nous sommes dans la cour des très grands, il y a du beau monde dans la pipe line, quel bruit, une moto 🏍 GP avant l'heure.

Ago still getting around quite good these days
Alive and kicking!
I met Ago at a Phillip Island GP in the pits. He was chatting happily with Barry Sheene in the late afternoon sunlight and I was clicking away with my old telephoto camera like crazy from four feet away. It was later that night when I found my film hadn't advanced on the spindle. Zero. Oh well...
It happens ...
Das habe ich auf dem Sachsenring miterlebt...Ago schaut zu..
Franchement s'est juste magnifique et monstrueux sur piste, a voir qu'elle double cames avant monter t'il, Grimeca👌 🌞💕💙💛
That front end is quite remarkable. It's alot like a earls but different.
OMG!!! I just died and went to heaven....
Wow, itu motor tua, tapi suaranya gahar......I like the sound. Maaf saya kurang bisa bahasa inggris. Saya langsung subscribe chanel nya
Thank you ... enjoy!
The bike has to burn a little oil . If not they will score the cylinders . Everything will tighten up when wormed up a bit . These engines are born being loose when cold . If this was unburned fuel the plugs will fowl out .
Was für ein urtümliches Gerät. Der Tank sieht aus, wie aus Grauguss gegossen. Alle Superbikes (oder sind wir schon bei Hyperbikes?) des 21. Jahrhunderts zusammen haben nicht soviel Rennspirit, wie diese Schwermetall-Guzzi.
Cheers Zett!
Tecnica unica
Italia!
I wish the cowling would be so easy to remove on modern bikes.
Giacomo speaks pretty good English
👍✌️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful - A work of Art - Is it a 1957 Original or one of the few unearthed by De Tomaso many years later, when he acquired the Race Shop on Lake Como & found enough parts to rebuild a few more Bikes ?
A far as I know, this is original from Pino Todero's collection.
I’m living in Monza and I have an house in Mandello del Lario… in 2004 I had the rare privilege of listening to Umberto Todero talking about his 500 V8. He was thus an immense gentleman and technician. He passed away in 2005. I get tears on my eyes when I think about it.
@@giampieroberetta5866 Good memories ...
One thing I do kind of hate with people that think the fatter the rear tire is the better it looks . There are some people think that it helps and it dont . To me a fat tire only means that a person cant ride a bike with out training wheels . A friend of mine bought a Kawasaki KH400 with stock 3.50 tire on the back . He put 4.10 tire on the back . I pretty much told him WHY . The 3.50 tire would be better there would be some less pattern but that is good in a way on the curves . It give the bike a little bit of drift on the rear and not grab some much . A better thing is to have vary good adjustable shocks would make all the difference in the world . Much much more than bigger tire on the back . I think he put a wider tire on the back like he only going to do is a straight line racing . But not worth a crap on the turns . For those guys that has a crotch rocket . You do realize that these bike are not race ready and for street use right . I have seen a lot of steer bump just because of back tires and bad factory shocks and ill prep bikes . If you people look everything on these bikes is prepped for racing this includes skinny tires . It's about speed and agility both .
Hi Jeff ... thank you very much for your comment.
Leaving out the purely visual aspects of rear tyre choice, why then do the quickest turning bikes on the planet use large section rear tyres?
@@frankbeaton4776 Well, that's not the whole story. A fatter tire will hold a steeper angle, as the base that touches the ground is wider, but a leaner one will turn quicker because of less gyroscopic inertia (say, maneuverability vs. stability: it depends on the type of road you're running on).
The Italian company Protar did a 1/8 scale model kit of this motorcycle a few decades ago. I believe they went out of business but the kits show up on eBay etc.
Cool info ... thank you!
It has a brutal sort of beauty. 1952 so hub brakes and no fuel injection. Looks like a nightmare to work on.
Yes ... setup was a bit "complicated". Maintenance even more ...
Fantastic bike sadly never reached its potential.
At least it's nice to watch and listen to him today.
Cheers!

Goran, what a shame, I was in the same pit, visiting Mario with his Ducatis! I already thought you might be there as well, but nobody knows how you look like 😄
Ah ... next time ... I was under cover :-)
The Italians built beautiful Race Motorcycles, Multi cylinder over head cam....as did Honda. The British built single cylinder Manx Nortons and AJS race bikes (and others) and went just a fast, but were often more reliable. 2 differing philosophies with the same outcome. As did the Germans, Czechs and other Europeans.
May a thousand flowers bloom ... cheers!
The British built 4 cylinder water cooled , supercharged 500 s in the 1930s, Vellocette & AJS 😊
Yes, and the Squaffa.@@andyb.1026

Tony: Hey Gino, I betcha can't make a twin overhead cam 500cc GP bike.
Gino: here Tony, hold my vino....
I slightly knew Bill Lomas and he told me about trying the 350 V8. I've quite a knowledge of older machines but have never come across this in the press. Anyone got any information?.
at 2:09: LIGHT ALLOY WELDING IN 1952???????????????? Is this a later componet or Guzzi men were SO ahead of their time? It makes me cry to think the very same brand once made starship like this and now uses a 50 years old engine...
Whole idea was ahead of time ... just think about tires from 50s on 250 kmh ...
Todays Guzzi is just a small part of Piaggio group ...
The master of aluminium welding was Ernie Earles, the inventor of the Earles fork as used on 1960s BMWs. He could weld aluminium using oxy-acetylene torches. There's a surviving example of one of his bikes, an aluminium-framed race machine with Earles forks, rear fork, tanks, etc, all made by Earles. I think it has a mid-1950s BSA twin engine, with of course alloy head and barrel
@@pashakdescilly7517 Good info ... thank you!
@@pashakdescilly7517 In Spain, on the sixtyes J.J. Cobas made racing bikes with "box" chassis made in aluminium sheet, welded. In the times of the "triangular" shaped tyres.
Opera d'arte su ruote... a raggi.
After the ww2 they decided they couldn't run alcohol in Grand Prix racing because it was so dangerous for the riders! As I'm understanding it can produce invisible flame. So Moto Guzzi decided they had to do something to get the power back. 8 cylinders was their answers!! They built two of them @ equivalent to $50k/. Then they wrecked one. I think that was the end of that program!! I'm not so sure beyond that!!
Hi David. There is at least two more replicas/semioriginals (AFAIK, one is in Sammy Miller museum) ... assembled from parts when Guzzi racing department was discontinued. This one is full original from Pino Todero's collection.
@@goran2003 Thanks
かっけー😄😄😄
ありがとうございました。 乾杯！
Ingegnere Carcano!
A great bike for history of motorcycling. But only noise and smog? I think is better one or two laps, for the bike and racer.
This is warming up before 3-4 parade laps ... Agostini and Co.
I would like to build a half scale model of the engine. Any idea how to get hold of a copy of the drawings?
Ask in Moto Guzzi museum ... they might have something useful.
Cheers!
@@goran2003 Ok, thanks
¡ La posicion de la bateria deja que desear,aunque pensandolo es para una carrera ! 👍👍🤣🤣
For racing only :-)
Is that the best looking fuel tank ever ?
If not "the" best, than is very close to the best :-)
So that qualifies as 'support' from Ago? And that qualifies as a 'service' on the Guzzi? ; )
Of course :-)
many do not know that after carlo guzzi the subsequent owners have no interest in moto guzzi otherwise if they knew the history of moto guzzi and really cared about it they would revive it but unfortunately today everyone thinks about making money at all costs......
Yes ... money talks. Cheers Samuele!

Is this an original,, or a new build
Combination ... "new" build with original parts.
How many of these exist?
No more than three, as far as I know. Although I do not rule out the possibility that somewhere in a museum or collection, there is at least one more incomplete example.

There are different types of drum brakes ... some of them are very effective.
4:01 oh no are the mechanicer from this bike are very blind?? There is a very danger problem for the driver and all other bikes on track!! The Oel pipeline have some deep cuts thete are much to old! Very next time there come oel out and run to the rearwheel and on the ground!! Thats big danger for life!! I dont understand why there dont see this,thats soooo dangeres oel on tires or street!! I wish very much that there see this bevor there have a crash!!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
Well ... lets say that this beautiful Moto Guzzi is ready for a proper maintenance work :-)
The mechanic, Guisepe Todero, is the son of one of the designers of this motor. I think he knows what he is doing.
@@smeghead61 and why there dont change the small rubber pipline, on the oel tank there are very old and have big cuts! need there wait that oel run out?? Bevor i start a engine i check the system,and make some parts new! This bike run with some people very next to the bike,cut the rubber than very hot oel come out and make some problem!
@@r.blacky341 again I think they know more than you and me. I think this is a rubber shroud around the high pressure hose. If it was a danger they would change it as these are very good mechanics. Better than armchair mechanic
@@smeghead61 yes! there much more better than me!! and thats what i say why there dont make the rubber pipe line new? Stop the Video on 4:01 and see what i see,this pipeline is very very old and short time bevor out of some holes run hot oel when the engine run, 1 Dollar for a new and 5 min.there is on the bike,and for the next 10 year its save! I hope you understand what I need to say!? Best wish Reiner from Germany

What is he doing? He seems to have no clue what he is doing.
He is warming up almost 70 years old racing motorcycle ... and that procedure looks somewhat different than with today's motorcycles.
Honda built a V8 racing bike, was banned from all tracks.......
Why?
Not sure, but I think that was the V-4 with oval pistons (worked like an eight, actually).
Non ha senso..tenere la moto a 5000 giri per quasi tutto il tempo. Scemo?
Not at all ... these old racing engines have a bit specific warming up procedure. Keep in mind please this Guzzi is from the 50s ...
