'97 M900 long-term refurb'

[Andy B]

must admit, i was unsure about the grey at first, but the more i look at it the more i've come around to it (which is just as well really) i guess..

think im going to have to stop putting the Guzzi next to the Duc though... (i just like their engines )

There's something about Guzzi engines, they're not very high tech but they do look cool especially when you're on the bike and your knees are brushing against the heads.

Here's mine;

Please don't show that last picture again of the Le Mans. I always wanted one since parking up next to a brand new one in 1978 when on my popsi fizzy. It was just like that and my 1st Italian love.

The Monster looks fab!!!

The V50 is Guzzi's Scrambler and looks fresher than ever in my eyes.

As for the Le Mans, half motorcycle, half bi-plane and even cooler now than it was back in the day- I want one!

I was living in Italy in 1978 and my first Italian love (bikewise anyway ) was also a Le Mans, like you I wanted one then but was too young/poor/inexperienced to have one.

They say you shouldn't meet your heroes but the Le Mans is everything I expected; uncomfortable, heavy & slow by modern (or even 20yr old) standards but it has that raw feel (like 90's Ducatis ) that seems to be missing on modern bikes, particularly so the more cylinders they have.

And, no I won't show that picture again, how about this one...
