I'm hoping to have a look at one of these next week. I'm told it's in very good condition, but as I know very little about old Guzzis (or modern ones come to that), what potential pitfalls specific to this machine should I look out for?
I would love to have a spin on one of these , just for the experience .
You really need to take it for a spin , then what you find fault with it , deduct from the price .
These Seem to be Hoovering at about £2500 - £3500 for useable Machines , there arent really that many pitfalls on these
very straightforward to work at ,, they really are , even i work on my own ! ... That tells you a lot.
If you were to ask ,, what is the biggest woe these bikes have ,, for me ,,it has to be the electrickery , the devils own work !.
The last Guzzi i was working on i couldnt find a wiring diagram to match the bike . Iirc i had to work off a couple of Diagrams , but i
eventually got there .
Lovely simple bikes , that give back as much satisfaction as you ever get from working on a machine .
