Very nice, that fairing never loses its appeal.  And I guess it would be cool that it was Ewan's...

I'm not sure if the Magni or Laverda fairing looks better, but the Magni is awesome :sun:

Yes the Mani fairing looks quite suit the V11. Personally I couldn't care less who the previous owner was as long as he looked after it. I wouldn't pay a premium for it thats for sure.

Mark of Moto Guzzi Classics in Long Beach / Signal Hill, CA, has just posted a bunch of bikes on the local CL. Lots of cool pics of vintage MG’s:

I took a look at the Cal/Cafe Racer conversion and the 850T last time I was there. Both are very nice. The 850T was a trip for me as that is the model I had back in the day, the one that infected me with Guzzi Fever. Mark does great restorations and is a great guy!

Here's a local Washington State example (2004, 4000 miles) that I just noticed. Dunno what his reserve is, but we'll see. Which model came with 1/4 fairing, Marzocchi/Sachs and clipons? The Sport standard?

6 bidders and 49 watchers.

I suppose it is correct to store a bike with no spark plugs if it is to sit twenty years?

I wouldn’t. But that’s just me.

Replace the spark plugs with screw in desiccant cartridges.

I just hope one of our EU members buys this so we can hear all about it!

There is also lubricant/preservative sprays to fog the cylinders.

I've got a million acres in the Gulf of Mexico to sell you.  

 

How much did this guy make on that Guzzi?

Not sure it will actually sell for 14,000€ (17,000 US $ !) . . . ?

So, would he make maybe $5,000 US over twenty years less whatever costs of storage, insurance, etc? Even without any costs factored in, that's well less than 2% interest compounded over those twenty years.

Probably should have ridden it!
