In great shape! and very low mileage.

Congrats and have fun.

Cool, so few miles. Good luck.

Cripes! I'd give my 1st born for that bike.
Of course I've not seen her or her mother in 36 years - - - but you get my drift. Green is good. R3~

I've a friend in the UK who had one for sale. It may well be still on the market.

Sorry - have some other photos, but the internet connection is playing up. It's a stunning resto job.

This beautiful example was ridden from SOCAL to our annual N.A.R. gathering in Cottonwood in 2015, and belongs to the infamous and legendary Bob Dickman!

This stunning "nut & bolt" restored example was seen at the New Mexico Rally in Datil in 2013, and was restored by a Guzzi enthusiast (?) in Texas.

It was flawless and reportedly sold for over $15,000!

You da man Jim. Got quite the collection of rare Tonti bikes. Yea, I'm jealous as hell.

Trade anything away for it?

Thanks Cam,

I parted with a 1973 4LS Eldorado and a 850T that was destined to become a 750S clone, but once I found a real 750S the wind went out of the sails on that project. New owner will build the ultimate 750S clone, looking forward to seeing it come to life.

Congrats. its a gorgeous bike. (as you can see from my WildGuzzi name;-)

Mine went back to its original owner, I "borrowed" it for 5 years. I bet he is right now as happy as you are!

OMG, two beauties that are both on my bucket list!
Congrats!

I need to clean up more often

Just need to show off a few more pictures of the unbelievable condition of this bike!

blackcat · « **Reply #43 on:** October 03, 2016, 03:44:00 PM »

Wow, it makes mine look old and crummy.

Man that's CLEAN!! Are you sure that 1000S even gets ridden at all?!? (lol)

Cam3512 · « **Reply #45 on:** October 03, 2016, 05:51:51 PM »

Most likely the closest anyone will come today to buying a 1000S off the showroom floor. Amazing!

keener · « **Reply #47 on:** October 04, 2016, 06:57:13 AM »

well i would have to say....its beautiful and it is probably the best example of a 1000S in the world today ...

Don G · « **Reply #48 on:** October 04, 2016, 02:04:53 PM »

Well that is exactly why I did the deal with Jim, too nice for me to use. I would not want to alter it or damage it for fear of ruining something that is truly magnificent, that is someone else's job now. I would rather have something more functional from my point of view, and I did find that with this deal. Everyone is happy with the arrangement and that is truly all that matters. DonG

I love that bike. Now, that's the only one I want. I hope my G5 never reads this post, 'cause I'll be in big trouble

Good on you Don , its great that you kept it pristine and realized its value ...now it sounds like you will be enjoying some fine bikes aswell..

blackcat · « **Reply #52 on:** October 05, 2016, 07:25:48 AM »

Don,
Are you the original owner? If so, I don't know how one keeps a bike for 23 years and puts so few miles on the bike. Glad you did, but it must have been tough.

Don G · « **Reply #53 on:** October 05, 2016, 10:22:08 AM »

No , I purchased this one from an acquaintance who a year or two ago bought it from the original owner, story was he purchased the bike new and took a trip, then parked it, was on display in a shop likely from 94 or so on. DonG

Don G · « **Reply #55 on:** October 06, 2016, 09:34:57 AM »

Well , when you own strip malls etc. you don't worry about the paltry cost of a motorcycle obviously. DonG
