Moto Guzzi CA description
|
The Ambassador built specifically for the US market in 1969-1970, with the
brake pedal on the right-hand side and larger capacity 757cc engine. With 9:1
compression ratio, the Ambassador was rated at 55hp SAE and reached 185km/h in
testing. The Ambassador was a big success for Moto Guzzi and ten were supplied
to the LAPD for testing in March 1969, with a further 85 eventually ordered and
other police forces across the country followed suit. Film buffs may recall
Sean Connery as James Bond riding one in “Diamonds are Forever”. For 1970 minor
changes were made to the specification, with a new instrument layout consisting
of both a speedometer and tachometer, and production continued to rise. This is a 3 owner bike, Original owner LAPD it was used as a Parade bike with all options ordered. The second owner in Fl. did a complete mechanical rebuild on the engine a aircraft mechanic. I purchased the bike in 2002 and have since had a cosmetic restoration done on it and only has about 1000 miles since the rebuild. My collection of bikes and cars have increased to the point where some must find a new home. This is all the bike needs is a new home. The bike had a burgundy color changed to black. |

Known for their 1970s-inspired style, the V7s are built, according to Moto Guzzi press materials, “to three fundamental pillars: the 90° transverse V-twin, the timeless double cradle frame and the renowned cardan shaft final drive.” Well, one of these pillars gets a functional update for 2014. The engine now utilizes a wet flywheel instead of the previous dry alternator.

If you’re in the market for a rare vintage motorcycle, however, it may behoove you to give Tom or his brother, Ralph, an old fashion phone call. A website does exist, brimsimport.com, but its for searching the inventory of late model car and truck parts — the cash flow supporting Tom’s motorcycle obsession.
