I have been touting these for years and I use them in a variety of Guzzi models. Alas, they seem out of production. Maybe some research would show what Bosch suggests as an alternative.

Might cruise through this one as well.

Dome pistons hit extended plugs in V700 & 750, just so you know.

With all due respect and trying not trying to argue. But I have used the BP6ES in my '72 Eldo and '70 Ambo since I got them in about '80. Was there a change somewhere with the piston in the 750 Ambo's?
Also per MG Cycle's listing for the BPR6ES:
"This plug is also the replacement for the discontinued BP6ES spark plug used on these models: V700, Ambassador, V750 Special, 850GT, Eldorado, 850T, T3, G5, SP1000, Caifornia II, Convert, T4, T5, Mille GT, SP II, CX100"

What ever works, I haven't had that luck. Thanks Tom, I'm not arguing either.

I've used the BP6ES in my own and customer's V700s and Ambos for years and never had one hit. <shrug>
