Title: Cruzzi Guzzi
Post by: Phil/TX on July 23, 2020, 03:32:50 PM

Does any one remember the Cruzzi Guzzi that was featured in Cycle or Cycle world around 2000, I’m trying to get some pictures, for a project. About to get back in the Guzzi world. May be getting a 89 Cali  lll, that I’m going to cafe out or make a bike like the Cruzzi Guzzi. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Phil

Was it the yellow and black cruzzi guzzi ? I remember one featured in the early '90's

I thought I had a copy of that issue of Cycle. Unfortunately it didn't survive my last move.  As I recall, it was a pretty stock example of a Cali, most of the work involved removing all of the unnecessary plastic trim and touring items.  Fenders were left stock,  driving lights added,  wide police bars, and the seat was cut down in the back to remove the lip at the back of the passenger seat. Can't remember if the rear shocks were changed or not.

Amazing what you can find on google these days, Jan 1999 Cycle World piece about the V11 Bassa, calls it the Cruzzi Guzzi

Hey Phil, glad someone else provided the info as I didn't have it.  Been a long time since we rode together in Arkansas.
