 The first Guzzi engined machine was the "Magni-Guzzi LeMans 1000", using the engine from the Le Mans 1000.A new frame was designed, which had similarities to the Lino Tonti designed Moto Guzzi item.Magni introduced the "parallelogram" rear suspension, previously used on the 1950 shaft drive MV Agusta 500 cc GP machines, which negated the torque reactions of the shaft drive and made the handing more predictable.
