Lovely bike, Jim. Thanks for posting

What a Gem. I have always loved these early 750's . Thanks Canuck

Very nice bike indeed. The vin numbers are correct for the model.
However the exhaust looks aftermarket to me ?

Those looks like Lafranconi Competizione

It is only 1 hour away from home, on small B-roads. I am strongly considering taking a look. Are there any specific items to look at to ensure that it is a 750s ?

From what I can tell by the pictures it looks to be the real deal. The headstock stampings and location of the data tag, plus the engine stampings match my 750S.
If I were as close as you to this bike I would be down there in a flash, don't let it slip away if you are interested in finding one!!
The electric fuel valve has been replaced with one that looks like it came off the Convert. It has the dual seat but that is not uncommon, I understand that many were ordered with the dual seat.
I am surprised that it does not have the original Aprilia signal lights, not a big deal, I can help you source them if you buy this bike.
Original Silentium shark gill black mufflers have been replaced with the optional Competizione style.
Starter motor has been replaced with an upgraded solenoid type.
Master cylinder has been replaced with a clear reservoir type, the original was a solid casting. The master cylinder / throttle has been moved inward to place the light switch, I think the stock mount is different.
The clutch lever (according to the the parts book ) should be a V7 Sport style (like the 850 Eldorado) but mine came with the same 850T style clutch perch.
Brake calipers look to have been replaced at some time (the originals have dual bleeder type Brembos)
Rotors are correct raised flange style
Fenders look to be original, same for head light and swan neck handlebars
Gauges are the second 750S I have seen with the newer 850T style, other pictures of bikes have the V7 Sport gauges, may have been a mid year change
It has the original carbs and air box (I would change that to a K&N) and the spark plug caps look to be original
It has the correct fuse box and under seat light
I think the throttle has been upgraded, the stock ones used the V7 Sport style.
If the original chrome lined cylinders are still on the bike they will need to be replaced with new Giladorni kits
A complete tool kit just makes it that much more special

Nice example and a RARE Guzzi indeed!
If I were StubkierDK...and only 1 hour away from this bike...I would have a look also! :thumb: :cool:
Sadly, for those of us outside Europe, you need at add an additional $1500-$1800 to get it shipped to the states.

It would be fun to just go over there and ride it around for a week or two, then ship it back. At least it would lessen the cost (in my mind) with the transportation savings for getting around Europe. Chrome barrels would of course stop that plan.
Pretty bike.
