What's your perfect Moto Guzzi?

[TN Mark]

I never warmed up to the Cal Vin I had. The ergonomics just did fit me.
I bought a set of EV tubeless wheels because I despise tubes on any
Type of cruising or touring bike. For me, a state or three away with
tubes just didn’t cut it.

It was ok aesthetically, just not ergonomically for me. It quickly got
traded off along with two other bikes for my first Victory.

My now very lowered v85 with a Huzo designed dual exhaust.

Let’s see the other side of the bike please.

Yes. All good so far, more photo’s and more questions please.

I think this one would fit the build nicely checked all the boxes save the Swanee fairing.

Very Nice!

I would ensure the rims are tubeless.  There are so many attractive Moto Guzzi's in their history, that it is a shame the new engine has not been dropped in a retro chassis.  I guess their marketing research says not enough potential buyers.

Their marketing research would be interesting to be involved in as they have never really hit a stride outside of the loop frame era. It would be nice to see them bring out a California that’s not following the bigger, better mantra of Harley. A nice 600lb or less touring cruiser. The Adv market is seeing the benefits of a smaller lighter bike and that segment is taking off why not a nice middle weight classic touring bike.

I don't need to call Guzzi, I just go out into the shop and build it. 

Currently under construction:

For a customer: '72 Ambassador with an '07 Norge engine, complete with f.i., suitably beefed up drivetrain and brakes. Wixom fairing and trunk, DB 'bags. Should be finished by May.

For myself: "CX1100" - some original CX100 parts (wheels, brakes, bodywork, forks) mixed with a 2000 Jackal engine (w/f.i.) and transmission, 7/33 rear drive, modified NOS 850-T (chromoly) frame.

Future, for myself: '73 "Eldovert" - Convert drivetrain in an Eldo chassis. Dual front discs, 850-T rear wheel and brake.

You're an inspiration Charlie. A guy with your knowledge and capabilities dreaming of a fuel injected bitsa!! Gives me permission to dream.

Andy (you know the one) nearly has your 'future' machine. Convert motor but a 5 spd. I keep convincing myself not buy it. It could use a bit of cosmetic fettling, but it's bones are top notch. Newly powdercoated frame and Bender harness, with original paint on all the outer bits.

I'm just wishing Huzo would build me a dual exhaust. Doesn't seem to matter what you do to a single it just doesn't sound the same.

Been there, built that" back in '04-'05 (Convert powered Ambassador). 




My "Eldovert" will be equipped with a Harper's solo seat, DB 'bags, factory "polizia" fairing (w/DB lowers for cold weather) and will be black.
