Moto Guzzi V7 Racer - thoughts?

I'm a newb.

My 1st ride was a '73 Guzzi 850 Eldo. I wish I still had it. I'd buy another one today if I could. The Guzzi design is one of the most elegant and logical there is, IMO.:thumbup

Pretty sure guzziguy is Ewan McGregor trolling all of you, cause I think he's the only person on earth who's this diehard about Guzzi's.

Erm, yeah, that's the idea.
Dunno about you but I don't need big power to compensate for any lack of ability.
Big numbers belong in the pub car park

Well, I wouldn't expect much from an engine originally based on a tractor motor...

More importantly, when a guy with a name like FirstBuell says a bike is a POS you should really listen. If a dude in 1986 Hyundai rolled up and told me not to buy a Yugo cuz it was slow and unreliable I'd take that as gospel.

jeebus, sumtimes I jest hates dis intrawebs!

OP queried about the V7, some folks posted up reasonable comments, & then things deteriorated rapidly.....

it's teh barf, eh wot?


blazingwheelstand - neither the CX nor the V50/V7 is a POS, especially viewed in their time



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


separately, an '86 Hyundai is superior to any Yugo!!

not that that 'fact' could possibly matter to anyone here......
 
where can one get one of these engines in a tractor? i'm looking for a small tractor with standard PTO capability for tending my olive orchard
 
now here is where the rubber meets the road - er, dirt....

auntiebling, this IS the Bay Area, after all -
a mere Guzzi tractor simply won't do, so I suggest this:

I didn't wanna go thru 10 pages, do the number plates (especially on the tail piece) come off pretty easily? Kinda looks like they might...

EDIT: Oh, and didn't Lambo start out as a tractor company?

oh believe me i've known about those for ages. i'd love to have a large one or whatever the biggest one is. i'm likely never going to have a 356, and the tractors are cheap by comparison.

i also want one of these
