Moto Guzzi 1000SP transformed

A bike that once looked like this http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/511269/
which must be one of Guzzi's most hideous creatons now looks like this

I quite like it, apart from the silly motif on the tank.

 

Hey, don't be mean. I had two: brilliant tourers in their day, and
viable BMW R100RS alternatives.

So do I, I must say.

 

I rather like the old crouton.

The styling and quality of finish remind me of this:

My favourite Guzzi remains the Ben Part Zagato, though.

 

TBH, it looks a bit familiar...

 

Swot I was thinking - do you reckon they've stopped the carbs falling
off?

 

It's just about perfect IMVHO

Well, they've only got the little weedy ones with metal manifolds on
there - the 40mm pumper carbs are a bit big, especially when the only
things holding them in place is a combination of little rubber manifolds
and venturi magic.

 

That's actually really nice.

A Guzzi Tea Tray?

Someone's 'avin a larf.

 

I prefer the styling of the cafe racer -

- not an as obvious mix of old and new.
