Moto Guzzi v1000 convert description

I have my moto guzzi convert 1000cc motorcycle up for auction. This is the 2 speed semi auto with the torque converter. I have owed this bike for 16 years. Over the years I have done a lot of work on her. She is kind of Rat Rod.

starter

voltage regulator

new rings

honed sleeves

dive shaft

shocks

bearing

new professional paint (metallic blue from Nissan juke)

I also machined a front end from a yamaha fz7 1987. This front end had zero miles on it. I purchased it from a custom motorcycle builder. He took the front end off the sport bike to build his own.

The front tire is original to the front end. It is worn now, but never replaced.

the back tire is fairly worn too.

All the wires have been changed by myself with solder joints. The bike charges fine. The battery is shot though. I jump the bike in the video to show you the bike ran. I have been using mazda miata battery which fit the space fine. The seat is from a harley sportster. The headlight is a huge landscape lighting that I modified to the bike. She is really mean with the auto transmission and glass packs on the back. Moto Guzzi are really easy bikes to work on.

The not so good.
She has been sitting a while. The tanks has some small dings. I only see one small scratch on one of the side covers. The rest of the paint looks great. The clutch is removed. It have never used it. When is is cold I start the bike on the center stand but after the first start I start the bike just sitting on it. No instrument dash, No speedo, No blinkers, No horn, No Keys, (installed a switch) The brake light is only on the front hand brake. The carbs were gummed up. I cleaned then out today. She runs but not as nice as last year. The rear brakes are not that good. The front are great. I did have her out in the last spring and she did fine. She is a 40 year old bike and leaks oil and needs attention. She is a project. I haven't had her on the road since spring. I have always keep a plate and insurance on her. I just don't ride her enough and she is showing that. I am hoping someone see the potential. Again she is a project.

video of her running rough https://youtu.be/jG0CUaPYgaU

If you see in the video is needs more attention before she is running right and roadworthy. She is a rat with mods that might not be conventional. I don't have a reserve. Starting bid is 500.00

2022 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello First Look

Tue, 23 Nov 2021

First production motorcycle with active aerodynamics After teasing us with a preview of the new 2022 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello in September, the Piaggio Group released further details on the new sport-touring model at EICMA. The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello is named for the brand’s 100th anniversary and its historic home in Mandello del Lario, Italy, but it comes packed with features that point more to the brand’s future than its past. The V100 Mandello boasts the world’s first adaptive aerodynamics system for a production motorcycle, and it is also the first Moto Guzzi to be equipped with a liquid-cooled engine, quick shift, six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) and, for the higher trim option, semi-active suspension.
