Saw what I thought was a Guzzi in a local junkyard

Pretty interesting claims. Would be nice to know the truth.

It would that! Thanks for the info Moto.

As I understand it, the CX range had the clutch rotating opposite to the crank to minimise the torque reaction.

My bro-in-law had one. I took it for a squirt and quite liked it. Quite liked it. Suspension was a pillow compared to the old Matchy. The trick was to set yourself up before the corner, then fat it on the way around. Sat the back end down and it cornered not too bad then.

Yep the clutch and gearbox rotated opposite to the crankshaft.
The clutch is at the front of the bike. A few bolts to remove the cover and clutch change done! No need to remove anything else

They are a very polarizing bike, most either love them or hate them.
I hit a kangaroo on my first one (my first "big" bike) in the late 90's . I bought another one last year to add to the collection of mostly late 70's early 80's bikes, it has only got 7000Km from new. I love it and it is never being sold

it was my poor mans Guzzi when I was an apprentice.... now it sits along side the real thing

Iffen I remember right, I think dr Greg Frasier took a trip with some cx500 or 650s
