2000 Moto Guzzi Quota
As a R1150GS owner myself, I’m a big fan of large displacement dual-sports, particularly of the opposite-cylinder variety. This big V-Twin checks all the right boxes for an all-rounder, with the added benefit that you’re going to stand out from the GSes with a bike this rare.

Imported from Italy, this GT150 was rebuilt down to the crank and is claimed to run great. Last summer it ran a 100 mile Giro, bringing the total miles to 23,779 – not bad.

1998 Laverda Ghost Strike 668
Talk about a fantastic name for a motorcycle. The Laverda Ghost Strike is one of the many variants the Italian firm pushed out in the late 90s that were powered by either the 650 or 668cc parallel twins.
