I apologize for getting this listing up so late, but there’s still another day to go for this auction, so I’ll post it up anyway.
So, what do we have? :
Here’s what the seller has to say about this pretty cool bike:
A stunning combination of Italian design, racing heritage and vintage feel, the Ghezzi-Brian Supertwin 1100 is the ultimate modern cafe racer. Born from the racing world-the same bike, with that frame, that set up, that legendary Moto Guzzi engine has been adapted for road use and improved with the best technical innovations. Specifications include the following; Moto Guzzi 1100 V-Twin, Weber Marelli digital electronic fuel injection system, Paioli upside down front forks, Hydraulic Bitubo rear shock, hollow Marvic wheels, custom TUBI exhaust, BRAKING dual perimeter front disc brakes and BRAKING rear disc brake. The body color is actually a light metal flake and combined with the blue chassis is it absolutely wonderful. Very few of these incredible road race machines were imported into the US. The original color brochure and owner’s manual come with the bike. This machine has been on display in a large Italian motorcycle collection and would benefit from an oil change and new battery.
Ghezzi & Brian is THE Guzzi specialist – they are like AMG for Mercedes or Ruf for Porsche. To sum it up on one word: very cool (OK, that’s two). Ghezzi & Brian are also responsible for designing and developing the truly awesome Guzzi MGS-01 limited edition track bike, so you know they’re good.
Not sure how many of these were made, but when was the last time you’ve heard of a Ghezzi & Brian being offered up for sale? If you’re in the market for an Italian V twin and want something different and special, this bike has your name written all over it.
