Moto Guzzi Eldorado description
I am selling a 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado with matching frame and engine numbers. In 2001 I bought the 1974 Moto Guzzi Eldorado in Wisconsin and a 1971 Moto Guzzi Ambassador in Missouri. I used the Eldo as the base bike as it was mechanically sound and I used the Ambo for the chrome and tins. I included the original photos of the two original bikes, Original bike 1 is the 1974 Eldo and Original bike 2 is the Ambo. After an initial transfer of parts and paint from the Ambo, this bike was my daily rider from 2002 to 2008. It then became a 6 year running restoration and was running when I parked it in a garage. It has been stored indoors up to about 2 weeks ago. All the parts are original there and is ready for a restoration.
Over the years I have done many things to the bike. It has Delortto carbs, Magneti Marelli Starter and generator, generator has new brushes. In 2005 I upgraded the cylinder sleeves from 850 to 998. I still have the original 850 sleeves and piston heads. The 1974 was the California model which meant it had a disc brake on the front. I preferred the classic appearance of the drum bracke front end and swapped the 71 front end for the 74 front end. It has K&N air filters with velocity stack intakes. I do have the original air filter box. The tachometer never worked and the electrics for it are bypassed. Exhaust headers are aftermarket and the mufflers are off a late 90’s Harley. The turn signals and fog lights are not original. The floor boards came on the 71 but I do not think they are Guzzi but were likely installed on the bike when it was relatively new. I have never seem them on a Guzzi but they are wonderful for long trips. All the tins were sand blasted down to raw metal and repainted. I never got around to the pin stripping. I have many extra parts, repair and parts manuals. It has a “suicide throttle” which is awesome for long trips. I do not have the original keys but the ignition switch is so worn, you can turn it on with any key. Somewhere during its storage, some minor nuts and bolts fell off. I lost the original oil dip stick somewhere on I-91 and replaced it with a Chevy oil plug which fits perfectly. Frame is straight, rims are straight. Tires will need to be replaced as it sat for 8 years.
It is a very complete 1974 Eldorado with all the parts necessary for a full restoration. I love this machine and I have been holding onto it in hopes of the restoration but I have too many projects and I don’t have room to store it.

Thu, 05 Jul 2012Piaggio announced a new iPhone connectivity system set to debut on its new X10 maxi-scooter. The Piaggio Multimedia Platform (PMP) will be available as a kit for the 125cc, 350cc and 500cc versions of the Piaggio X10, and eventually may be introduced to other models in the Piaggio Group (which would include the brands Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Vespa.)
