Check out this "v7 sport" (?)

[guzzinka]

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.  Sorry, but it'll take a real V7 sport to bring 12.5 large, IMHO.

Remember what PT Barnum said. This  maybe the best time of year to sell  a bike, but sooner or later a sucker-er....uninformed person will come along

Lol!  I was wondering about that number, it just doesn't sound right.  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

Seems like a whole lot of dough to spend to make a great bike much less valuable.  Pretty though, can't be too many left side pedal rear disc mods like that around

OK, not a V7 Sport but a 1975 wasn't really one anyway, right?

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...

Whoa, I like that, Joe. That's a T by the rear wheel..is there a filter?

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.
