Non bastasse, the Six Days of Varese the Italian colors became honor and although enduro won the British team, Official Team Piaggio gave a showdown beating off the competition with a very special Vespa: He was born what became known as the Six Day Vespa, Wasps still one of the most sought after and coveted by collectors and a recently reintroduced in its name range in honor of what happened in Varese.

That, among the many events organized throughout the year, the club has decided to put a calendar a commemoration for motorcycles dedicated precisely to the legendary Six Days of Varese.

But it lacked the right bike, so I knocked on my friend's house Gio, passionate and skilled restorer. As soon as he opened the garage I knew immediately that she wanted: the Suzuki GS550 del 1980, my age. For me it was a return to the roots because it reminded me of the times when scorrazzavo with my first Honda of CB400N 1981. Ah… the good times.
The four-cylinder Suzuki, however,, It is not a restoration of Gio! è totally and perfectly preserved and it is absolutely flawless; He has been bought by his father in 1980 and since then it has remained with him. You know well that the responsibility I have taken portandogliela away for a fuitina a weekend between the curves varesine!
