Not sure if this one has been up for sale before, but looks like a good winter project

2016-06 - Fork Oil Replaced
Front brake caliper rebuilt with new piston and seals, brake fluid flushed.
This bike has been my 2 wheeled steed until last month when a new maiden entered the stable and the moto guzzi and all it's vintage flare is feeling neglected.
I got this bike about in April of 2015 and have gone through it top to bottom. I had originally been inclined to convert this bike to a cafe racer style, but decided that it was nicer in it's stock configuration for me, and simply made it into a rolling restoration. I have put about 1500 miles on it, never has it let me down. It has a super powerful starter and battery and is not finicky as some of my other vintage steeds have been.
Electrics all work and are super bright.
All fluids have been changed within the last 12 months. I have some spare fluids that I will include for the new owner.
This has been my once a week rider for a few years. Always worked and started up.
Bike is still registered and insured, vintage tags and all.
I have a CLEAR TITLE in hand ready for new owner.
Additionally, i have a copy of Guzziology from Guzzi Guru Dave Richards($65) that I will give to the new owner along with the original bike manual and a few other articles and writings that I have that are related to the bike.
I would like to make the space in the garage and get the bike to another owner who can keep on keeping this little honey alive.
The Bad:
There is always more to do on a rolling restoration, the remaining tasks or issues that I am aware of that might be of interest to the new owner:
* The left side cover has a partial crack that i have repaired by using mesh + epoxy on the backside of the cover and within the crack to hold it tight, it's structurally sound and almost invisible, but it's there to see when you look closely at the side cover.
* The left side muffler had a rusted out section on the perfectly hidden inboard side of the exhaust, i have built a hard core repair with aluminum sheeting on the inside of the exhaust riveted in from the inside, all made super air tight using high temperature epoxy. This repair is not visible unless you lay under the muffler and it is working great.
make me an offer, come check it out, i'm not rushing to sell it, but if you can make me whole, i'd love to have the garage space all winter.
Thanks for looking!
