It took a good long while, but Haul Bikes delivered this fine 1983 1000 SP this morning. Gotta get the battery charged and see if I like it! It fits well in the garage between the '76 Convert and the '86 Le Mans 1000.

The one bike I miss more than all of them. Mine got shortened by a Ford Fairmont, sent the crank back into the trans. Ugly ending to a beautiful relationship. You will enjoy that one.

Congrats! I'm fixed for motorcycles, or it would have been sitting in the Guzzi Garage (tm) :)
Certainly one of Guzzi's best..

That is really gorgeous! I wish someone made that fairing aftermarket for the modern V7s.

bigbikerrick · « **Reply #13 on:** October 12, 2015, 11:26:58 PM »

Gorgeous bike, LeRoy. I have always liked that color combo. That fairing is supposed to be awesome to ride behind. Did you buy it from a known Guzzisti from WG? Man, that bike is stunning......it just POPS!

Get a Corbin gunfighter + lady seat and forever forget those memories.

I did that over 20 years ago.

It is so awesome that I thought I was going to die riding behind one on a very hot day. It was very calm air, no air movement at all. I rode one back from Cinci for a friend once. 80 degrees and not a clould in the sky..........

Congrats Leroy! that is purty!!

Tks for the recommendation,,, but too late,,, after much research and reading many positive reviews,,, I invested in a Stuchi sp? two seater,,, it's a beautiful seat,, and much more comfortable for the passenger,, but after a 150 mile run yesterday, looking at the fall colors, on back road twisties,,, I realize now, that the rider's front portion of the seat is seriously lacking sufficient padding, (I'm about 200 lbs), might try a black sheepskin on it,, if I ever find a deal on one, or maybe one of those wooden bead seat pads(doesn't sound real appealing either,lol)

Hey, I know that bike, or parts of it.

That's Pete McNulty's old bike that he had for sale at the 2014 VA rally. Except then, it had a big-valve 1100 motor in it ...

Now, it appears to have a stock roundhead 1000 in it.

Anyone know the story on this bike? If the engine re-swap was well done, that would be a nice one for sure.

On the other hand, maybe it would smarter of me to just ask the seller. Duuh. Off we go.
