Another machine I'm studying, this 1971 V7 Sport TR is 850cc and fit out in this configuration just after purchase. That happened at the shop of renown French tuner/racer Charles Krajka, then taken into racing specification by Christian Chaplain, Krajka's understudy. It all boldly highlights just how much endurance racing was driving the sports motorcycle scene then. All brands. Truly a fascinating and fun era!!





Amazingly, it's all original paint, and was recently rebuilt with Nikasil bores (83mm) with all of the performance parts retained. It is a very fast bike. Some of you might have seen this being offered on Guzzi-related social sites. It is very similar to my Red 40 feature bike.

It's a prize, and so far away from the USA!

Hi Nolan

I think it had cast iron cylinders when I got it - so I did not have to put in Nicasil cylinders.

Due to my age - it could be sold, if not Christian Chaplain or his son wants to purchase it back.
