Ultrarare Guzzis

[swooshdave]

I don't even know how rare the Ghezzi is but I can tell you I've never seen one in person, except for a Ghezzi at Barber. I will say it's the first time I've seen a Coppa in person.
 
The owner is attached to a very long air line and will never ride again. Next time you're sucking on that cigarette look at your bikes and ask yourself how long you'd like to keep riding.
 
I don't know much about the Ghezzi like how many of this model they made. You will have the only one on the block if you have this in your garage. And by block I mean state. Or country. I believe the asking price is $15k.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 
The Coppa is almost as rare, I was told that about 40 were brought into the states? And about 200 made? It needs a good cleaning but it's what you can expect from a low mileage bike. While cool the next Guzzi for me will be a Lemans (either the old one or the new one).
 
For me the Coppa is a tarted up V11 Sport that isn't worth twice what a similar version goes for. But what do I know?
 
I believe the asking price is $12k.

the Ghezzi was not made by the Moto Guzzi factory, it's a custom house.

How much for the Pegaso?

So, is that tan bike a Guzzi single?

Not sure which one you are talking about.

I can see if it's for sale.

Where did the engine come from?

[elvisboy77]

Relative to many other makes, they are all rare.  It is amazing how few of most of the bikes were made, 100's or low 1000's.  Just finished a great book about Guzzis and that was an interesting bit of info I got.

The rarest bike he got there is the white with blue stripe , built in Milan by crepaldi, single cylinder water cooled , fun as hell
The bike model is called " vun" ( one in Milan dialect)

The guzzis, he can keep them , not worth the money in my opinion.

my wife's old boss had two Ghezzi-Brians in his garage. Very cool guy with awesome toys.

Ghezzi & Brians come up here from time to time in the UK, Motori di Marono has them occasionally, but they are pretty eye wateringly priced.

I'd need to carry box though to get on & off them, being vertically challenged

As most of you probably know though, personally I much prefer Magni's offerings, this is much more to my taste

You are correct, well, almost. That a CRS. And it is a one off. But the bike behind it is almost as rare...

A CARC bike without a dash problem

Is that a CARC bike?

CRS is a project made by Crepaldi Roberto.

Ah ah he got a Borile too.... wow that's another fun bike

[fotoguzzi]

I don't see any carc bikes in the pics.

The Christmas bike has low enough mileage that you can experience the problems that need to be corrected by an owner when bought new.    Fun bike to ride however and an attention getter.

Shouldn't be a lot of problems with a late model V11 Sport. Maybe replace the relays and fix that starter circuit. Running gear should fine.

Dave are the bikes listed for sale somewhere or just locally?

[Denis]

Not sure which one you are talking about.

The one to the extreme right in this photo.

Ah, the tan part threw me off. It's not tan, that's just the lighting.

That was the reason we went down to see the bikes, to help my friend pick up his new project. Just some junky old bike...

Well damn. A Vincent? Lucky friend!

[swooshdave]

There are a shocking number of Vincents in this area. I've easily seen more Vincents than V11 Sports.

I bought the Aprilia to ride to Honduras for a Maya conference, thence to Seattle for a museum exhibit and back to Mexico.  It probably has no more than 200 miles on it that aren’t on the highway.  It has the European flush-fitting turn signals, a chain oiling system and the fuel tank breather has been sorted out so it won’t die every couple of hundred miles.  The carbs were recently gone through and set right by a dealer.  Includes very nice looking hard saddle bags.

It is a very comfortable bike, on which I have done back to back 1,000 mile days, and handles as a good single should.  I have left a well ridden Gold Star and Norton Commandos on  twisty roads.  It is a far nicer bike than the similar BMW 650 I rode around Europe.  Clear Oregon title.


Year:  2000
Make:  Aprilia
Model:Pegaso 652cc
Overall condition: Excellent
Mileage: 14778
Any special features: 22 liter tank
Work done: carbs and breather system
Price: $5K.

PM me and I'll happily provide an email address for the owner. Bike is located in Salem, Oregon.

I wish someone would cough up a ridiculous amount of money for my 1-of-15 Lemans-powered California. Maybe when it's 70 years old it will be worth as much as a Vincent is now...

Nah, probably not.

[swooshdave]

I failed to mention there may also be a Vincent Comet for sale. It's a basketcase so only an arm, not an  arm and a leg.
