Description

Replacement parts were from all the known sources (MG, Harpers, etc.). It is not restored, more brought back to be ready for life again. Has an older Dyna Electronic ignition and new pod air filters installed.
Starts and runs great. Engine, transmission, and rear drive fluids were replaced.
The fuel Peacocks are original- electronic on the left and manual reserve on the right side. It has the original side and center stands, original shocks, it has the original points ignition in a box. I have a printed service manual to go with it. Brake shoes have plenty of life, it will need final adjustments to the front and rear brakes to ride. Missing the right side four point seat/fender wing knob.

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. I have 4 other Moto Guzzi's and not enough time to ride and enjoy. Two boxes of 50 years of old and spare parts, cables, bits and all “original” parts that were removed. Also some other "take off" parts - ie the original(?) rear lights, etc. Two sets of keys for both ignition and side boxes. Stored in my humidity controlled shop. Located in Southern Oregon.
I can hold for a period of time with prior arrangement and full payment. Happy to co-operate with shipping.
California title in my name and designated non-op in the state of California. No back fees.
