The new and revolutionary thermal unit was made of aluminum alloy with NiCaSil galvanic coating, presents a new type of radial head with flow guide which, thanks to its shape, guides the air flow towards the slots of the head cooling hood, increasing the cooling of the thermal unit significantly even in the most demanding uses.The double-ring piston guarantees excellent compression in the combustion chamber and excellent depression during the intake phase. With the innovative gasket system contained in the package, the 190/200cc Gori cylinder kit can be mounted independently in both 58mm stroke (190cc) and 60mm stroke (200cc). Available in 2 versions, with 30mm cast manifold perfectly connected to the cylinder intake, without manifold for those who wish to mount it with the original manifolds. The exhaust with 6 fixing holes allows the assembly of all mufflers currently existing on the market even if Gori always recommends the use of its sports exhausts. The new Gori 190/200cc cylinder kit is the result of years of development and road testing to obtain a specific cylinder kit for fast touring with a pinch of extra sportiness in the delivery that can satisfy even the most demanding palates.History sports preparation workshop for Lambrettas, GORI was founded in Florence at the end of the 1950s from the innate passion for engines of Giancarlo Gori and his father Vasco who took part in regularity races for scooters (Giancarlo, from an early age, enjoyed assembling and rigging micromotors for 2-stroke model boats, but he wasn't yet old enough to open a business).The origins date back to 1958, when the shutters of the small workshop on Lungarno Cellini 49 in Florence were raised for the first time, initially only for motorcycle and scooter repairs, later for sports preparations, especially for Lambretta models. After various experiments on mopeds of all kinds and the first "modifications" on the Itom 50, Giancarlo concentrated on the development and marketing of the Lambretta models, began to practice preparing the TV 175 model 1st series of the family, and then continued on the models Li 2nd series, TV 175 2nd series and Li 3rd series.In the "Officina del Gori", which in the meantime had become the official Lambretta dealer, the Li 3rd series 125 models were developed and delivered new, turnkey, already with the cylinder kit increased to 175 or 200cc. modified muffler with expansion cone, oversized Dell'Orto SS 27 - 30 carburettors and other mechanical parts that were recovered from the scrapping of old Guzzi, Gilera, Benelli, Sertum and English motorcycles from the 40's and 50's. There was immediately great interest in the Lambrettas prepared by GORI and the growing success created a group of loyal customers, who, on Giancarlo's idea, founded a team, the "Scuderia Gori" complete with an official logo and a lightning bolt drawn on the bonnets."Scuderia Gori" was born to participate in competitions, there were many regularity races and rallies in which it participated, with good placings and victories but as was the custom of the time, it also engaged in challenges between friends or against other mopeds, scooters , prepared by "competing" workshops or even against large-displacement motorcycles and cars. The Lambrettas competed on straight, low-traffic roads, one of the usual places was the Firenze Mare state road, with little traffic in those years where these Sunday challenges reached such a high level of notoriety that they were followed by the public and attracted the interest of the salesman. ice cream, sandwiches and drinks!The drivers competed over 400 meters from a standing start and among the many challenges we remember the one in which the Lambretta GORI driven by Roberto Capolino beat a Triumph Boneville 650 or the one in which Stefano Benelli challenged a Ferrari in acceleration in Forte dei Marmi. A bet for every challenge and a pizza in company with every victory with the whole group of "GORIzzati" friends; the tastiest pizza, obviously, was the one eaten after beating Ferrari. The echoes of these challenges and the victories in the regularity races of the Scuderia Gori brought much fame to the "Officina del Gori", Giancarlo was the first to experiment with double cylinder intake in 1964 on a scooter (Lambretta TV175 3rd series) and in the following year, 1965, on the same Lambretta they developed the engine for the "Monza Record", inventing a "bell" fairing that wrapped the Lambretta from the mudguard to the shield, but with a completely original bodywork and chassis. The Record was made official by the CONI timekeepers who recorded the incredible speed of 162.83 km/h, but in the same year relations with Innocenti deteriorated due to the lack of official support for the Record organized in Monza, promised by the company. At the end of the sixties, Officina Gori's interest shifted for a short period to the Vespa world, being the first to create conversion boxes for Vespa 50-90 and 125 small frames.Scuderia Gori participated in 2 editions of the GIRO d'ITALIA, 1966 and 1967, with 3 Gori-tuned Vespa 90ss, winning the category and good placings in the general classification; the team was led by Vasco Gori, a real ace with that little Vespa. Giancarlo couldn't help but attempt another record, this time with the Vespa he reached the remarkable speed of 145.8 km/h.The chassis used was that of the modified Vespa 90, cut to lower the center of gravity, the engine used was fitted with an adapted Saetta 100cc kart cylinder, with a bell-shaped fairing similar to that of the Lambretta. The Record was not officially recorded, primarily due to the disinterest of the sponsors and Piaggio, but also due to the sudden change of direction of Officina Gori which plunged into the world of motorcycles, creating what were among the most beautiful and successful motorcycles Italian Cross and Regularity, but that's another story... motogori.com .
