I am often amazed on how some people will "COBB" a perfectly good, stock motorcycle..and especially a classic Guzzi...to ultimately make them end up looking like this?!? 

O" the horror....THE HORROR!!

Wonder if he sleeved the cylinders down to get it to 650cc?  Or not ....

What are they smoking down there?

They put a lot of time into something they can't hear run. I'd be sure the engine worked before starting a project like that.

Poor old loop.😢

Hardtail, wouldn't want to go down the road on it. It would be alright for pulling farm wagons.

But all it needs is a starter, and some minor work to finish this project!  I bet it also ran when parked.....

 I've been up close to a nice Guzzi trike , no idea what this is . Upside is , with that teeny little gas tank , and those huge rear tires , it won't go far enough for the lack of suspension to matter .

If you a going to do a Guzzi Trike...please...Pl ease...PLEASE at least try and make it presentable and/or "Road Worthy" like these!!  :1:

Is that a 650? Looks bigger to me.

The experts will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the big block was ever made with less than 700cc.

And it is indeed a horrible looking machine. I have never understood this hardtail idea, not on two wheelers and no less on a trike.

It looks like it once was a civilian 757cc Ambassador 4 speed w/60hp like we used to have and pulled a sidecar on.  This thing is an aborted mess!

What made an old junker a perfectly good motorcycle?

If you look close, it used to be a tonti frame and the engine looks like an late eldo, 850-T -G-5 lump. It could be made half way representable with some time and $$$.

The sump doesn't have enough bracing to be any more than an Ambo. bottom end, IMHO.

I'd like to go there and get it running just well enough to run the guy over with it, ala Death Race 2000.😆

But that's just me.

HMMMM... paint the frame screaming yellow, make the seat a spring seat. Color co-ordinate the tie wraps holding on the gas tank......
