Guzzi abandoned the V8 because they agreed with Gilera and Mondial to withdraw from factory supported racing form 1958 on.

I saw it race in the IoM in 1957, the last year of the dustbin fairings. I think it was ridden by Dickie Dale and finished on seven cylinders.
The 350 single cylinder Moto Guzzis were just as impressive, for different reasons and much more successful.
Guzzi abandoned V8 …
Guzzi abandoned V8 cause, at the end of 1957, the Italian motorcycle constructors mutually agree to abandon competitions (the costs were becaming to high, since the preference of the public was switching from bikes to small cars like the Fiat 500). Only MV Agusta remained (it wasn’t a real constructor, but a private divertissement of Count Augusta, owner of the elicopters factory) and, with a semplified version of the 4 cylinders Benelli engine, dominated the races for 20 years more.
It didnt win …
It didnt win everything. great bike,but very complicated and difficult to keep in tune. Rule changes limiting fairings, number of cylinders and gear ratios sealed the deal.
I thought the …
I thought the reason Guzzi abandoned the V8 was because the GP ruling organization banned it. Why? Because it won everything, and Norton complained.

V8 is something magical.None ever will produce such a sophisticated engine.I had a chance to get on the seat on it once. And he set up was familiar with my sport 1100. :thumbsup: all way through.Lovable.

im sorry but if you look at the british and american race bikes that were arount at that time like, all the brits were using twins and singles and then guzzi come out with THAT….i mean like 190mph for 50 years ago…fuck man
If u mean Dodge …
If u mean Dodge Tomahawk, it has 4 wheels so it´s hardly a motorcycle. And there isn´t crazy enough rider to push that beast over cruising speed. It´s uncontrollable. Guzzi is solid bike!
