About this motorcycle


Moto Guzzi Dondolino 500

The 1949 Moto Guzzi Dondolino 500 Racer embodies the golden era of Italian racing. Produced between 1945 and 1951, the Dondolino earned its reputation as a reliable privateer race machine, celebrated for its durability, simplicity and remarkable circuit performance. 
Finished in classic red, it features a robust 4‑stroke single-cylinder engine paired with a Dell’Orto SSI 35 B carburetor, delivering the raw, responsive character that defines vintage Italian racers. Its minimalist setup without a speedometer highlights its pure competition purpose.
With frame and engine numbers MG 10245 and C46406, this machine represents an authentic piece of motorsport heritage. More than a classic, it is a timeless symbol of Italian racing culture

At VintageMotorcycles.nl, we believe in full transparency, every bike is sold in the condition it’s in at the time of sale.

Some still wear their original tyres or brake lines, while others have already been updated. If you’d like additional work such as a service inspection, new tyres, or replacement brake lines, that’s always possible at an extra cost. This way, you decide how original — or how ready — your next classic should be.
