This beauty was Moto Guzzi's best effort..."sport" was not just a model name. It has Braking Wave rotors, Brembo brakes front and rear, unrestricted exhaust (no cat), sporty number plate tail cover, and mini wind screen with number plate insert, which I replaced with a clear screen from Skidmarx in England. The wide bars had a strange bend that made them uncomfortable for just about everyone that tried them, and I replaced them with Aprilia Shiver bars which are perfect for me. I added factory Stelvio hand guards, fork gaiters, and dealer-installed factory center stand. I also removed the airbox and installed K&N pod filters. It gets 45+ mpg and runs strong, huge torque. I added a Mistral stainless steel exhaust, and the sound is beautiful, rivals any Ducati I have owned (it's a 90 degree v-twin also). Most of the miles are highway, rode it to Barber Vintage races twice, and it got lots of attention. I removed some of the body work that I thought made it look "fat" and the look is very pleasing to me. It has never been down, and there are no diings or scratches beyond normal wear for 12000 miles. Handling and power are excellent, transmission is smooth, and tires have lots of life in them, about 2000 on the front 1000 on the rear. All of the take-offs are included if you want them, and nothing I changed is irreversible, except maybe the airbox, but it was an abomination anyway. I recently had a bike shipped to me from Texas, and I can highly recommend them if shipping is needed. I have probably left something out, but feel free to ask questions, and look closely at all the pictures. You won't be disappointed. I am also selling a Corbin seat and Hepco Becker hard bags and brackets separately, but a package deal is possible if they are available. It's a special bike, and it deserves a good home.
