Moto Guzzi V50 description
One of the most fun bikes I've ever owned. (I'm 62!) I've been commuting almost daily on this for the past 3 years. This is also my first choice for club rides in the mountains or on back road rides. It's light, agile and just fast enough to keep up with other adults. I find that a brisk pace on twisty back roads is absurdly easy to maintain, while still keeping a good safety margin. It's a very nice, presentable bike that looks a little better on film than in person. The paint is very nice with the occasional small chip on the frame, swing arm, or engine. The chrome is nice ("nice" with a small "n".) It would be accurate to say it has a nice patina, and is extremely well preserved for a 35 year-old bike. I've thought about a restoration, but it gets a lot of positive comments as is, and is just so much fun to ride. Bought this 6 years ago as a non-runner and built it up for my 5'2" wife, hence the cut down front seat padding.She's put a few miles on it, but prefers pillion, and that's why it's for sale. We've ridden 2-up quite a bit on this, and I can say that in doing so, none of the engine's potential goes unused.

Vintage Bike Stash Found in Ohio
Mon, 05 Mar 2012Brim’s Imports is a vintage motorcycle shop disguised as a used car dealership, and chances are you’ve never heard of the place or its proprietor, Tom Brim. If you’re in the market for a rare vintage motorcycle, however, it may behoove you to give Tom or his brother, Ralph, an old fashion phone call. A website does exist, brimsimport.com, but its for searching the inventory of late model car and truck parts — the cash flow supporting Tom’s motorcycle obsession.
Piaggio Announces 2011-2014 Business Plan – More Hybrids and Electric Models In the Pipeline
Wed, 14 Dec 2011The Piaggio Group revealed its business plans for the next three years with a focus on developing fuel efficient engines and introducing new electric motors and hybrid powertrains. Beginning in 2012, Piaggio plans to introduce a new generation of engines with lower emissions and improved fuel economy. Examples include the new 350cc engine introduced in the Piaggio Beverly SportTouring and the fuel-injected 125cc four-stroke, three-valve engine equipped in the Vespa Quarantasei concept (which the company has apparently, and quietly, renamed as the much easier-to-pronounce Vespa 946).
EICMA 2013: Moto Guzzi V7 Series Updates
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Not to be left out of the 2013 EICMA show announcements, Moto Guzzi has announced its changes for the three models that make up the V7 line. Known for their 1970s-inspired style, the V7s are built, according to Moto Guzzi press materials, “to three fundamental pillars: the 90° transverse V-twin, the timeless double cradle frame and the renowned cardan shaft final drive.” Well, one of these pillars gets a functional update for 2014. The engine now utilizes a wet flywheel instead of the previous dry alternator.
