sharperdill Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Looks like another great bike up for auction. Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100
Skeeve Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 Reminds me of my friend Thom Irwin's Ghezzi, "el Chupacabra" altho' as I recall his had the blue bodywork and black frame [but my remembry plays funny trix sometimes... ] Beautiful bikes, too bad Guzzi never saw fit to bring G&B's designs in-house & make them official production [& therefore, affordable! <_>
jihem Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 one doesn't see it on the picture above, but the pictures on Ebay show it well: this bike's paint scheme seem to have been inspired from the Ghezzi-Zebulon 4 valves JMM had built.
jihem Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 ..and here's JMM 4V Ghezzi: looks familiar...

Steve G. Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Looks like another great bike up for auction. Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 A few months ago I sent a letter to Guiseppi Ghezzi requesting info on purchasing a bodywork 'kit' of the Supertwin. He said they probably wouldn't do it, instead offering the current kit they have. Clearly this is the nicest looking Ghezzi - Brian made, simply brilliant looking. Where can somebody get panels like this????? Steve
jihem Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Hi Steve, do you mean the fiberglass work ? If so Airtech does it. I don't know how you could fit that on a Guzzi frame tho. Now, Bruno does a Monza kit which looks great, and is to be fitted on a V11.

Now, Bruno does a Monza kit which looks great, and is to be fitted on a V11. I have looked at this kit. I'm not really keen on it, most is good, but the headlight set up to me is weird. If I'm going to pay this amount of money for a body kit, I want the best looking style G-B has made, and the Supertwin is it. I guess I wait and hope. Steve
sharperdill Posted December 18, 2009 Author Posted December 18, 2009 Auction ended a while ago. I was curious what it would go for. US $11,105.00 Reserve not met
jihem Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Reserve not met I'm not surprised. Whenever you seem them beauty popping up here and there, the owners are always hoping for too high. It's a great bike to ride and beautiful to look at, but it's not a safe high return investment (yet ?) (for all i care).
Paul Minnaert Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 The ones that were sold in europe are around the 10-12k euro
jihem Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 The ones that were sold in europe are around the 10-12k euro that much ? I am surprised ! But then again mine has done 50.000 kms and can't surely be seen as a pristine model no more
Paul Minnaert Posted December 25, 2009 Posted December 25, 2009 a friend just bought a new folgore 2 month ago, leftover at a dealer.
jihem Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 cool indeed ! was it new ? (for those not in the known of such frivolious and niche details, a Folgore is a buffed-up Supertwin with race exhausts and associated eprom, OZ wheels, probably the special dashboard and a Ohlins shock at the back)
