Description

Legendary Big Block GuzziAwesome big valve 1100 motor, very nice sweet changing slick 5 speed gearbox, the nicest Guzzi box I have ever used, excellent very responsive brakes, a lovely bike whether just to run around town, do the school run, nip to the shops or ride to Italy and back and tour Europe in comfort! Excellent mechnical condition, starts instantly, runs beautifully, powerful responsive 1100 motor, excellent brakes, just been fully serviced with ALL fluids changed. many fasteners replaced with stainless. Only faults, rev counter stuck, right hand silencer has a scrape, some very minor surface rust here and there but still looks very smart in original paint. Mileage is 54,850 which is only just run in for one of these, it will go up slightly over the next week or two as it is just a joy to use especially in the current lovely weather. Reluctant sale, Only selling as I have 2 other Guzzis already and a Ducati and I need the money for house works more than I need a 3rd Guzzi. Has MOT til end of November, everything works as it should and will pass a new MOT without any worries. When I took the pictures I was waiting for a new seat catch to arrive. That has now arrived and been fitted so the seat now locks in place with the ignition key as it should and is no longer held in place with the strap shown. the little antenae sticking out of the sides of the headlamp are powerful mini L.E.D. running lights that come on with the side light and headlight and really help you be seen by anyone who might pull ot on you! the Givi top box mounting plate shown on the rack is not included but if the buyer really wants it i will sell it for an extra £50 (these alloy monokey plates are around £120 new from Givi). UPDATE, here is a video of it starting and running this afternoon (07.06.2020.) and demonstrating everything works as it should except the rev counter which is stuck at 7k but makes absolutely no difference to how the bike runs and performs, this is honestly one of the nicests engines i have used in over 30 years experience of Guzzis (except i forgot to show the brake light and horn working). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmU5DWKgWZU Viewing and collection from North London N4 Cash or bank transfer only, no paypal thanks.
