The Otto motorcycle

.






The Moto Guzzi V8, or the Otto motorcycle was designed by Giulio Cesare Carcano specifically for the Moto Guzzi Grand Prix racing team for the 1955 to 1957 seasons. Though following the two-stroke Galbusera V8 of 1938, the Moto Guzzi Otto motorcycle and its engine represent a unique and historically significant engineering milestone.
The Discovery Channel ranked the 'Guzzi Otto as one of the ten greatest motorbikes of all time.

I think that is one of the real ones, not one of the recent repops. I saw one of the old ones in Italy a while ago, it looked magnificent! Lots of little exhaust pipes going every direction.
