I know this is a honda forum but is this a good deal?

[scottly]

Needs pistons, jugs, carbs.. Looking it the pic, it also needs rear shocks? Price these parts for a Guzzi before deciding if it's a deal, or not.

Does look like a MAJOR Money Pit.

+1 on the money pit. Unless you've got the money to burn to restore it, I wouldn't waste my time.

Don't think I would want it for free.

[pikehk]

Absolutely not. The only reason to buy that Guzzi is for parts. A T is a great foundation for a Cafe but there is no foundation there to start with.

I agree, unless I needed a parts bike. There's a lot more missing, like the seat, fender, sidecovers. And the wiring looks like a bird's nest. Engine is wide open in that climate, and the bike is outside. Plan on total engine rebuild. Based on the value of the bike complete and running, this one is economically unrepairable.

That one is for the guy that already has a garage full of old goooz parts. At a much lower price.

IMO, this is from me, somebody that's owned and worked on old Fiats and MG cars, run, don't walk in the other direction....
