Wow, very impressive. I recall seeing you and your bike quite a few times at Bike Week and a few rallies. 100k and not a speck of dirt. My hat is off to you.

I understand that the colour scheme is a statement and as a dyed in the wool Italian bike, it carries it off ok.
I had a jacket made for the centenary celebrations that I took to Mandello for the same reason.






So I do get it…
However I reckon that aside from the colour statement, that is about the best set up and presented Guzzi you could see.
Style, charm, comfort, real world useability and perfectly balanced visual “stance”. It would be a wonderful bike to ride.

Sweet milestone and great timing!

The color scheme of the Hungarian flag looks great on the bike!  :grin:

The green is closer to Italian than Hungarian.

What is the seat and fairing on your bike ?

I would love to build a bike like yours.
I used to think a V11 Sport like Dave Swanson’s or a Greenie like Mc Gregor’s, but now I don’t know…
I like that bike.
BTW..
What are the mufflers ?
Can we see a lot more shots ?
