The rear rails on the frame are kicked up, easy modification. Some would say that is sacrilege, but easy to return to original location. Well, easy for a good welder.

Well, it's true that not everybody wants one, but that doesn't mean we don't like them.

Most of mine aren't fetching premium prices (Le Mans 1000 w/16" wheel, Sport carb) and while it would be better (for me) if they did, the situation benefits serious buyers. Many machines are taken out of use because of risk, and I get it. Glad most Guzzis - even collectible ones, are still ridden, which IMO makes them even more valuable. Moto Guzzi was always known as a rider's machine. That's a fabulous heritage!

About the same as I do the 1000s. I'm not saying I don't like them, I just don't want to own either.
