Moto Guzzi V50 description
One of the most fun bikes I've ever owned. (I'm 62!) I've been commuting almost daily on this for the past 3 years. This is also my first choice for club rides in the mountains or on back road rides. It's light, agile and just fast enough to keep up with other adults. I find that a brisk pace on twisty back roads is absurdly easy to maintain, while still keeping a good safety margin. It's a very nice, presentable bike that looks a little better on film than in person. The paint is very nice with the occasional small chip on the frame, swing arm, or engine. The chrome is nice ("nice" with a small "n".) It would be accurate to say it has a nice patina, and is extremely well preserved for a 35 year-old bike. I've thought about a restoration, but it gets a lot of positive comments as is, and is just so much fun to ride. Bought this 6 years ago as a non-runner and built it up for my 5'2" wife, hence the cut down front seat padding.She's put a few miles on it, but prefers pillion, and that's why it's for sale. We've ridden 2-up quite a bit on this, and I can say that in doing so, none of the engine's potential goes unused.

Moto Guzzi Revives V7 in US
Mon, 05 Jan 2009If contemporary society has taught us anything, it is that few things are held as sacred. Shameless film and television remakes are rampant while musicians sample (steal) any beats or mixes they deem suitable that will gain their crumby creation attention. In regards to motorcycles, there are times when retro-inspired modern engineered creations work, like the Triumph Thruxton for instance.
