At the heart of the 1958 Moto Guzzi Lodola 175 Gran Turismo sport motorcycle, Moto Guzzi relies on a 174 cc (10.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11 HP (8 kW) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 63.2 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Lodola 175 Gran Turismo measures 109 kg (240 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.91 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,314 mm (51.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 110 km/h (68 mph).
