Moto Guzzi V50 description
One of the most fun bikes I've ever owned. (I'm 62!) I've been commuting almost daily on this for the past 3 years. This is also my first choice for club rides in the mountains or on back road rides. It's light, agile and just fast enough to keep up with other adults. I find that a brisk pace on twisty back roads is absurdly easy to maintain, while still keeping a good safety margin. It's a very nice, presentable bike that looks a little better on film than in person. The paint is very nice with the occasional small chip on the frame, swing arm, or engine. The chrome is nice ("nice" with a small "n".) It would be accurate to say it has a nice patina, and is extremely well preserved for a 35 year-old bike. I've thought about a restoration, but it gets a lot of positive comments as is, and is just so much fun to ride. Bought this 6 years ago as a non-runner and built it up for my 5'2" wife, hence the cut down front seat padding.She's put a few miles on it, but prefers pillion, and that's why it's for sale. We've ridden 2-up quite a bit on this, and I can say that in doing so, none of the engine's potential goes unused.
