Moto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. After mainly producing single-cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design. Alongside the the sporty Le Mans models, the GT Mille gave riders similar performance and handling in a comfier sports tourer package.
This Mille GT has been part of an enthusiast private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes, so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not run for a number of years they have been carefully stored in a dry building but will all need recommissioning before use. The bike is presented in good original condition and comes fitted with a set of engine protection bars. Once recommissioned this rare Guzzi will make a very useable bike in modern day road conditions that is still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a number of old MOTs and hand written notes from a previous owner and a current V5C.
