    Vintage Guzzi's... school me?

    Fell in love with an old-Guzzi I saw. Anyone know much about them? Reliability (I have heard Guzzi's are the Italian "BMW" in terms of riding high miles), Parts Availability, etc?



    Me Wantey.

    Scott, we do a ton of Guzzi's at my shop. They are very cool. Parts are easy to get.

    Call me when you get a chance I'll tell you all about them....

    How about you calm down on the ADHD. Go snorts a ritalin and adderall, and come back to earth.

    Once you do that, finish the VFR400 that you have already started, and ride that thing more then once before you get another project.

    Hey, I'm just trying to save you from yourself. I did it once and learned my lesson.

    Alot of peeps out there have nice bikes that you fixed up for someone else in the end to enjoy.


    Honda CB1
    Ducati 848
    Honda CBR
    Aprilia Mille
    Yet-to-be-sold Husqvarna


    PS - the 95 SS/SP was all Q's fault anyway.

    Guzzis are good. Lots of them in NE, and always a good turnout at IMOC and Tutto Italiano. Check out http://forum.guzzitech.com/forum.html and there's a New England Guzzi Yahoo group. Seacoast is a dealer. You can get lots of parts mailorder from www.mgcycle.com

    I love my Guzzi.

    Thanks for the chat Rob

    I'm digging the V11, and the "Rosso Corsa" both way more modern than the initial inspiration.

    What exactly is that? A V11 derivative or was the paint and forks added on?

    Coppa Italia is/was a limited edition V11, I think from reading the forums. $$$

    Some nice Guzzis in my 2009 IMOC album
