Your Dream Moto Guzzi
« on: December 27, 2015, 12:35:15 PM »
Real or imagined, owned or not...

Although I do not own one, I think I would really enjoy a V11 Le Mans. (I like sport tourers.) Perhaps something like this:



How about you?

1973 or 74 black Eldorado with the 4 leading shoe front brake.  Would also like period correct fairing and bags.  No chrome bores and shift pattern like a newer bike.

I want  loop frame in the family, also a Daytona is up there on the list, and to not be cliche, a Lemans1 would be a nice addition too.... and maybe a Centauro. I guess I have some work to do. Lots of fly and rides. Not many Guzzis come up here in AK

I've got my dream Moto-Guzzi.  Black 2012 Norge that runs like a fine Swiss watch.  Just need the dream cure for the f*&cking arthritis in my left hand that hurts after clutchwork.

I've got mine. Sure it's non standard but few bikes are left stock by their owners. As I've said many times if the factory had built a bike just for me my G12 would be it.

I'm a bit out of the loop now, but would and 8V engine fit in a V11 Le Mans chassis?

Otherwise, I'd take an 8V Griso with Ohlin's suspenders and make a Le Mans out of it.

I really like the lines and style of my 89 Lemans.  I would really like to be able to have the motor professionaly balanced and built to 1100 capable of about 85 rwp. And upgraded forks and shocks.  It's a keeper.
