what is year and model of this Guzzi?
« on: July 24, 2016, 12:31:55 PM »
All,

Had lunch and short ride with my buddy Ed.  He was out in San Diego with his son.  Went to a transportation museum.  Snapped this cool red Moto Guzzi picture for me.  Question is:  what year, and what model?  Very pretty in red, chrome accents, and the fishtail exhausts are supreme.

Let's see who can nail it first.

Norge

fuel tank inside the frame; fish tail exhaust; I'd agree with you: it's a Norge.

Nope - those bikes (for which the Norge is named) had a swingarm rear suspension. The trip was made to demonstrate the swingarm was reliable under harsh conditions.

Thanks!

I wasn't certain what it was, but I knew what it wasn't - no swingarm!  :boozing:
