Looks complete, 1st generation. Funny on the rack and backrest, mine also came with that when I bought it (was missing the actual pad), they must have been popular back then.

I had an 81.

It was the Guzzi that got me hooked.

That depends on whether two people want them at the same time on ebay.. :smiley: They're valuable though.

If it was closer to me instead of 2200 miles away, I'd grab it. I had a T3 with Lesters I gave back to the original owner last March and this would be a perfect replacement. When I'd first gotten the T3 I was determined to replace the lesters with wires, but the longer I had it the more they just looked right and they stayed.

     I'm bumping this up to the top, because I think this "may" be worthwhile to someone.

     If I had room in the garage and lived close by, I'd be tempted to drive over with my trailer and a grand in my pocket.

     Buyer beware, yada yada etc

     fwiw

He told me he would take 1350, but i did not jump on it. Still a little too high and too far for me. If he came down to $1000 I would go get it.
Owner told me  he is a full time 'product development engineer' with too many bikes and two businesses 2 boot.
