Forgot the discription... This is my v65 from year 1985. I bought it from an Italian guy in the Netherlands.

By the way, am I the only one who feels that turning a Moto Guzzi (especially v35, v50, v65, 850T, etc) into a cafe racer is the same like putting saccharine into coffe?

more like honey on the syrup..........sweeeet,I think their design lend themselves to be customised to the owner's whim,until you meet a hard liner that is!

This is the FrankenMonza. Been 15 years collecting bits and pieces while riding and updating, now it is pretty much finished!

My V50 II after a complete bare metal strip down and rebuild.
I eventually sold it as it was just so physically small for any kind of two up distance work but it never failed to put a smile on my face.

The 1st photo shows me and my V65Sp on an Easter Basket Run for a school for mentally handicapped children.
The 2nd photo shows the V65Sp and me outside my law office before I closed it. My goal now is to do more Scouting, farming, and riding.

Here's the V50III I picked up last summer. Originally with the intention of vintage racing it. Still haven't decided if that's what it's going to be used for. It's such a lovely little bike to tool around on.

My wife put some substantial miles on it last year and she also has fallen in love with it.


What to do....

This is a wonderful bike. The only reason I went with the V65Sp is because I needed a bit more torque for long trips with luggage through mountains and cities. If it were just me and the machine, I should have chosen the V50.

Progenitor of the V85TT - a classic1985 example of the V65 ‘all-terrain’ Tutto Terreno - resting a world away from Lago di Lecco shores under azure blue Southern Cross skies on forecourt of abandoned gas station still flying its famous Red Flying Horse symbol having once supplied the machinery of a predominantly Italian immigrant fruit growing community in the Darling Ranges - an escarpment first recorded less than a century before Moto Guzzi started by Charles Fraser, Government Botanist with Captain James Stirling aboard the HMS Success in 1827.

My 2004 Breva 750. Bought June, 2021 from John Hemenway in Wisconsin. 12K miles, very careful, competent former owners. Upgrades include Guzzi center-stand, Race Tech fork emulators and springs, IKON shock absorbers, color-matched H&B 30L side cases, Kaoko throttle position holder, MPH "startus Interruptus" upgrade, Guzzi Tech sump extender and always used with non-ethanol gas as will continue.

I admit it: I'm smitten.
