timmythecop Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 You may have asked (I realize nobody asked) why I have a 1980 Moto Guzzi 1000sp. Well, I'll tell you. Because Guzzis are very groovy and collectable. The model I have was introduced to compete with the first real (argueably)sport-touring bike, the BMW R100RS. It is in my opinion, the VFR of its day. Quick, but not a world beater, comfy, great handling and good at what it does. You can ride this bike to Alaska and since it is 90% the same As a LeMans, it can scratch too. So if you will allow, I thought I would chronicle my time with this Italian bird. I rescued it from a cafe conversion, and I am almost done putting it back to stock. Let me know your thoughts.

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted November 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted November 12, 2017 First off I love your MotoGuzzi. They are so authentic and purpose built. I look at the V11 sports lustifully and think one day when the kids are all finished with college and moved out I will have one in my garage next to several other bikes like KTM Adventure, my VFR and a rotating spot for sporty track bike. Looking forward to more on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
