Title: Check out this "v7 sport" (?)
Post by: guzzinka on December 24, 2015, 07:24:50 PM: While browsing Craigslist I found this little nugget - v7 sport price but not really a v7 sport anymore? Certainly a fine bike either way. Let's hear from the experts (and the rest of us too)!

~~30 thousand invested~~
24 thousand thrown away.
Fixed it for him. :evil: Sorry, but it'll take a real V7 sport to bring 12.5 large, IMHO.

Wasn't Hinton where an S3 and a whole room full of Italian collectible bikes went up for sale a year or so back? Oklahoma Italian bike Mecca? EDIT: found the Hinton link, looks to be the same seller who had the s3 http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=51858.0

Yeah , every so often this guy puts a couple of bikes on CL in several cities asking stupid money . It's funny , until the summer of 2014 when a Guzzi rider from Australia riding across US stumbled across this guy , not even any of us Okies had seen any of the collection .

Oh , and $30K invested , really :huh:

And if it had puked badly maybe this seemed sensible. And I bet it is a whole lot of fun to ride!

More than likely it started life as an 850T. It has a lot of Sport parts on it. It's just not worth that kind of money.
You can buy this bike for 4500.00...

Aaron, it's a 75 850T with a filter. The bike is solid and runs great. Need four piston Brembo calipers and rotors, 36 mm PHF carbs, Tank Shop fuel tank and a lot more. It does still have chrome bores though.
