Moto Guzzi Ambassador description

High quality recently restored 1972 Moto Guzzi Ambassador offered. Matching original engine and transmission. Late model run ambassador with a 5 speed transmission and rear Eldorado drive/hub original to this motorcycle. This bike is well built and meticulously restored including:

- Powdercoated / clearcoated black frame off restoration. 
- Completely new wiring harness including Odyssey battery and customer battery frame. 
- Five speed transmission is original to the bike - numbers match engine and transmission. 
- New Mistral Exhaust with silencers removed - sounds nice - not obnoxious. 
- New Nicasil cylinders, pistons and rings (less than 1,000 miles) 
- Transmission disassembled, re-shimmed and refreshed at restoration - smooth as a Guzzi tranny can be. 
- Wheels rebuilt by Cycle Garden less than 1,000 miles ago with new bearings, spokes, nipples, polishing and Dunlop tires. 
- Rear wheel is the unobtainable California Highway Patrol special contract 16 inch high speed wheel tire (130/90-16)
- Rear wheel built by Borrani under contract to CHP for use on high speed CHP bikes. These wheels are extremely rare. 
- Front wheel is Borrani 18 inch - also restored by Cycle Garden and has matching Dunlop rubber. 
- New Old Stock bates saddle bags and matching chrome Bates frame installed less than 1,000 miles ago. In like new condition.
- Recent new clutch cable. 
- Harpers single saddle includes rear luggage rack with passenger seat attachment. 
- Crash bars, cushioned foot beds, chrome shift/brake pedals....

This is a high quality restoration with very few miles since completion. The bike has 37,533 original miles and around 1,000 since restoration and upgrades. Paint is in excellent condition with pinstriping and Moto Guzzi graphics under the clearcoat. Two minor scrapes (rear fender bottom and near tank cap) but overall excellent condition. Excellent rider, always starts, runs excellent and gets lots of comments and looks. I am not riding nearly as much as I would like and the bike deserves an owner who will not only appreciate it but ride it. That being said...finding a super solid, high quality restoration like this with the 16" CHP rear wheel (described as nearly unobtainable by Mo at Cycle Garden) and NOS Bates bags and rack is difficult, if not impossible. Pricing reflects the unique nature and high quality of this late run finely restored and maintained Ambassador.

2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Video Preview

Wed, 09 Nov 2016

A classic reborn again Videos by Evans Brasfield, Brett Colpitts Everyone from hipsters to crusty old fogies loves Guzzi’s V7, or at least the idea and the stature of it. However, it seemed a bit dated, even the V7 II introduced a couple of years ago. For 2017, Guzzi is introducing the V7 III, with an updated double-cradle steel frame with revised geometry and new suspension.

2017 Moto Guzzi Audace Carbon Preview

Tue, 04 Oct 2016

Moto Guzzi clearly believes that naked carbon fiber is the new black. Just look at the 2017 MGX–21. Well, the Audace Carbon is following the same eye-catching design cues – which makes sense since both motorcycles are based on the same California 1400 platform.

Piaggio Reports Q3 2011 Results

Tue, 01 Nov 2011

Piaggio announced a net profit of 46.3 million euros (US$63.3 million) over the first nine months of 2011. That represents a slight dip from the 46.7 million euros (US$63.8 million) over the same period of 2010, but still respectable numbers in the face of a shrinking market for motorcycles in Europe. The decrease in profit comes despite a 2.0% increase in net sales, with Piaggio taking in 1.20 billion euros (US$1.64 billion) over the first three quarters.
