Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive V-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35, V50 and V65 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.
This Guzzi 650 shaft drive V-twin has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years. It comes fitted with a full stainless steel exhaust system and a Spada style handlebar fairing which together with its lower seat height, electric starter and ease of maintenance make it an ideal bike for classic runs and rallies. Not run for a couple of years it will need recommissioning before use and comes with a couple of workshop manuals, some maintenance information, receipts and a current V5C.
