When you think about bespoke ventures revolving around Moto Guzzi’s mechanical predators, Italy’s Officine Rossopuro might be the first enterprise that comes to mind. However, the undertaking we’re featuring today hails from Horizontal Moto – a newborn workshop located in the Austrian capital of Vienna. Before it got subjected to their fascinating overhaul, the creature we’ll be admiring today was a regular V50 III manufactured by The House of Mandello del Lario during the ‘80s.
The two-wheeled fiend is brought to life by a longitudinally mounted 90-degree V-twin mill, which packs four valves and a displacement of 490cc. At approximately 7,500 rpm, the air-cooled powerplant will deliver up to 48 ponies to a five-speed transmission. Ultimately, the engine’s force travels to the rear 18-inch wheel by means of a chain final drive, enabling the stallion to reach a respectable top speed of 106 mph
