Hi Bill,

Nope, the Gilera (Sears), the Benelli (Wards Riverside), the Aermacchis
(HD) and the Guzzi Stornello are all individual designs. The engines are
all individual and unique. The cycle parts are sometimes interchangeable,
they were usually purchased from the same Italian vendors like Marzocchi,
Ceriani, Silentium, CEV, Aprilia, Magneti-Marelli, Dansi, Guiliari, etc.
I own quite a few of these little bikes, and have have worked on or sold
a lot of others in the past.

Never had a small Guzzi single though, but it is on my wish list.

Hey Loopers;
This doesn't apply to Loops, but never the less, I thought someone
out there might be able to answer this for me. I took a look at the
photos that John so kindly shared with us, and saw #18, the Guzzi 125
single, and it made me wonder about something...I have a 1968
Sears/Gilera 124cc, and I've seen Aeramacchi singles, they, along with
this particular Guzzi single, all are almost identical, same frame/motor
configuration, same shocks, same exhaust, same forks, same fenders...what
gives? Did one company in Italy make singles, then all the rest sell
them as them own? If so, who made them all? Guzzi? Not like this is a
life or death question, just wondering....
