Roberto Gallina

Roberto Gallina (born 4 January 1940 in La Spezia[1]) is a former Italian Grand Prix motorcycle road racer and racing team owner.

[3] Gallina was also involved in designing his own bike, intended for the World Superbike championship, with the help of Japanese investor Yoshiyuki Hayashi.

The bike, called the Gallina Quattro 750, had a custom frame and design and was developed around a heavily modified Suzuki GSX-R750 engine (converted to chain gear drive and with most parts re-cast in magnesium).

[4] The bursting of the Japanese asset bubble hurt Hayashi severely and in the end only ten examples were built, at an overall cost of $2.5 million.
