It ain’t fast, but Guzzi’s V7 series does look good. Earlier in the production run, Guzzi offered variants like this Cafe Classic, and some owners were begging for an aftermarket fairing. As detailed in this profile from The Kneeslider, their prayers were answered by Luca Bar and Luigi Stucchi, the latter from Mandello del Lario.

Needs Some Work – 1978 Ducati 500GTL
The Ducati 500GTL is one of the cheapest ways of getting into the world of classic Ducs. Unfortunately, that’s because the bike didn’t sell very well – about 7,000 were produced over a 8 year run. The bike developed a reputation for being unreliable because it would occasionally lunch crankcases.

3-8 Update: Reader Jim R has let me know that this bike is now available here on Craigslist for $8,500. Post-Listing Update: This SF2 did not meet reserve with bidding up to $6,100.

1979 Moto Guzzi 1000SP
One of the better touring bikes in its day, the Moto Guzzi 1000SP Spada typically falls under the radar of some of the more classic Guzzi names. Then again, every once in a while a guy like George Dockray gets his hands on one and then turns it into an absolute beauty.

1972 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport
Post Listing Update: This V7 Sport was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. My favorite Guzzi, the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is still one of the most famous Guzzis ever made. Produced in small numbers (about 3,500) for only three years, it represented a change in focus for the firm. After years of truck-like bikes such as the …
