1977 Guzzi V1000

Go on, admit it. You’re already imagining rumbling into town, arms out over the gold tank to those brilliant US ’bars, collar up on your leather jacket, looking fine in shop window reflections... OK, maybe it’s just me, but it’s hard to argue with the presence and style of a big ol’ Guzzbox. This one’s got a few wonky bits, a dicky spark and an obstinate gearbox, but is otherwise solid and sound – and for this low starting bid there’s room to get it up and running in original un-messed-with form without needing to sell family members.
