Great bike. Good details on previous owner. This is a collector steal with pedigree. Thanks for the ride.

What a fabulous bike! Very tempting y'all! :)

One of my favorite airheads, though I do prefer the dual shock models as they are a bit easier for those of us who are short of inseam. Also, especially from a west coast perspective, that is a fantastic price for a machine with those specs in that condition.
Thank you for posting!

I love BMWs and I love that bike! My Problem is that I also love the Royal Enfields and I am planning on buying one soon. Possibly from you as I am in WV.

I also love all motorcycles! The choices are hard but also fun. We would love to have you come by!

Dylan, I sent this to Brad in Maryville, Tn. Not sure he is in the market, but he likes Beamers.

Holding the clutch in or not at a light or stop sign debate??
I go by this rule.....if there is traffic stopped behind me, its probably safe to go to neutral, clutch out. However while theres a chance of someone blasting in from behind and rear-ending me, my eyes are watching mirrors and bike will be in 1st gear, clutch in ready to launch out of harms way.
Ride safe👍👍

Pretty sure that's the actual Bumble Bee... he's hiding from Megatron, laying low in Ohio, posing as an old BMW. I saw him wink at the camera. : )
What's the process as far as becoming an official Guzzi dealer, or even Royal Enfield? Do you have to take some classes to get certified to sell and service them?

How are the vibrations on highway speeds around 80 mph also what RPM is it on.
