Know the guy from my days racing classics....

In the european endurance series there were many other wonderful guzzis, some of the final rounds were often in italy.

BTW, front wheel is form a TDM850... know because i asked him, needed a wider 18" rim to mount the front continental CR in my Gpz750/810 open class bike

Another nice one form those series

First Horvath bike I read about was from cirka 1980, a Guzzi 850 taken to 1100 cc. IIRC, the cylinder bushings came out of a truck engine. Its top gear acceleration was better than that of the XS1100 and GS(X)1100, taking 4 seconds to go from 100 to 140 kph (62-87 mph).
