History: The original owner purchased the bike in 1973 from Bryant Brother's Motorcycles in Sacramento, CA. In that year Bryant Brother's reportedly received two V7 Sports both of them red with black frames. One bike was purchased by owner number #1. (The other bike was reportedly purchased by the parts guy at the dealership). In 1974, owner #2 asked the dealership about the other bike, they coordinated the second owner to make an offer and purchased the bike with less than 3,000 miles on it and he owned it until 2008 when Owner #3 purchased the bike with 31,274 miles on the odometer. I purchased the bike in November 2016 from Owner #3 with 36,100 miles on the odometer.
Two sets of keys for both ignition and side boxes.
The bike is located at Moto Guzzi Clasics. Mark Erhridge has gone completely through it and it runs perfectly. He found original shock and electric petcock stickers sourced correct horn (not in pic) and made a few other adjustments to bring it to spec.
Bike is on non-op no fees.
