1946 Moto Guzzi Superalce

This four-stroke, single cylinder 500cc bike with a top speed 110 kph was the first used by the Italian army in the late 1920s.

In 1939 Guzzi developed a lightened and improved four-speed version, the GT20 which wasrenamed 'Alce' (elk). In 1943 the Alce was updated with the more powerful overhead-valve engine, becoming the Superalce, which remained in service with the Italian Army and police well into the 1950s.
