I am building, having built, a retro/classic/modern Moto Guzzi by a Guzzi specialist Radical Guzzi in Germany. Here are some short videos of custom Moto Guzzi builders, three in Italy, one in Germany. Radical Guzzi is the first one profiled. http://www.garagemotoguzzi.com/en/the-spark/
The frame is a Tonti, circa 1980. To get the bike imported as "vintage" it must be documented as something at least 25 years old. The gear box is an older 5-speed. A1200 8V Griso motor with 1400 (1380 cc) cylinders and pistons. It will have carburetors; 41 mm Keihin FCR's. The forks are off a MV F4; Wilbers twin shocks for the rear. The swingarm is custom, to accommodate a 6" wheel and modern rubber.
The frame is finished - there were a lot of modifications to handle all that added hp. The tank and seat were shaped first in polystyrene and are being fabricated in aluminum. I am expecting the bike to be completed by early next spring. I will do my best to keep the Forum updated and display photos. I am happy to answer questions.
