Have bought a blown up guzzi forma deceased estate . ID plate says its yr is 1986 ; 744cc; Frame no is PX 11587 . I have 2 engines in bits numbered PX 000507 and PX 000633. I have 2 barrels -both chromed and Two 4 valve heads with the expected bent exhaust valve and a holed piston so that means LARio right? but 750cc puzzles me . Plastic body bits and tank could be Lario or Targa Any help /comments appreciated . Chris

Are you in Europe? `80's 750 Guzzis never made it to the US. Sounds like you may have a 750 Targa.

odd are you sure they are chrome bores? that was only a feature on early v35 and v50's
are you sure its PX not PK? never heard of a small block with PK

Looks like you have a V75, 4 valve heads and 750cc. It had a small fairing like a T5 and a 16inch front wheel. You are not in NZ by any chance? One of these was for sale on trade me recently. I have a V75 brochure from the 1980s and considered buying one but instead purchased a Lario which I thrashed the hell out of and had no trouble. I sold it before the mileage got high, but a friend told me that it rattled its way up to 65000km. I don't no if the valve gear was ever updated. It got wrecked in a crash.
Cheers, voncrump

I have checked the Numbers and it is a PX ....... I have added some pictures for those experts to comment on
Yes I am in New Zealand and in rummaging through all the boxes and cobwebs I now have 4 barrels and two good pistons (80mm) and some good valves to pick from. Are the suzuki valve springs and seats still obtainable ?

Yeah, that's a V75. Everything to do the heads is available. The heads themselves are like chicken teeth, though. That'll be a labor of love to get going.. :smiley:

Thanks for your help every one - watch this space --Chris

Hi Chris. I have had that on my watch list ever since it was first listed. I posted earlier and the guys id'd it as a V75.
Would have loved it as a project but as I am retired the $$ that I suspect it will need was beyond me. Keep us posted with pics please.

Hi Muzz. Thanks for the good wishes. I have a V 50 rebuilt last year Can't wait to start this one .. Let me know if you are up in Auckland and we can meet Chris

Sounds good Chris.
My wife has just commented that "I am sure he will spend hours and hours on it". I think that she is pleased that I did not put a bid on it! :rolleyes:
