500 Saturno Sanremo

The Sanremo series derived from the Saturno Competizione and owes its name to its first-appearance victory on the Ligurian circuit in the spring of 1947. The 1950 version won the most victories of the Saturno series; for five consecutive years it won at Ospedaletti, and was also winner of the Nations Grand Prix at Milan. The Sanremo had a fuel tank with hollows for the rider’s knees and a partial half-moon shaped fairing on the rear mudguard. The front brake was central, with two small holes for the cooling. The steel front fork was diamond-shaped, while the half-moon rear mudguard partially covered the driving wheel. This model, with engine power output of 35-36 bhp, reached a speed of 180 km/h.
