    Guys,
    this Guzzi is mine. Thank you for reposting my ad here, I tried earlier but couldn't get pics up. At any rate, I just turned 70 and my long riding days are nearly over. It's a beautiful example that begs to be ridden rather than just looked at and since I've only put 300 miles on it in two years, there's little point in kidding myself any longer. Inmates are welcome to come by and figure that you can take it home for a few hundred dollars less than advertised. My name is Ric, my number is 303/651-2599 and my email is landeira@colorado.edu.

    Ric,

    If I had not just bought a GSPD, I would be over there circling your bike, looking at adding another Guzzi to my garage - one of my favorite marques by far.
    Taking into account what nice Eldo's and Nortons go for, that looks to be a pretty fair price.

    Best of luck finding it a good home, I wish I had the money....and sorry for the comment on the Bitubo fork dampers :lol2

    Newly complete restoration of a 1968 Triumph 650 Tiger - TR6R.
    Few things to complete, (two new cables to install) All new paint to match original colors and striping,
    all chrome refinished or polished. Restored to original, Matching frame and engine numbers, and all stock.
    Beautiful bike ready to run, excellent investment for the Vintage Enthusiast in anyone.
    I have owned this bike for 20+ years...hard to let it go but have too many bikes to ride them all.
    This is a fast bike.. not for the faint of heart.

    you'd have to be pretty faint of heart to think a single carb Tiger was scary fast :nod :lol3

    FAST is relative, isn't it? For me, a Brutale would seem fast, or a ZX14, or a ............. well you get the picture.

    I'm thinking the "Fast Bike ...... Not For The Faint Of Heart" comment is probably best explained by going back to the first photo, and looking at the bike in the background situated over the Triumph tail light. :evil :lol3

    On the other hand, my experience with owning a 69 Tiger 650 was it FELT scary fast at the ton. Whereas my 1200GS seems mild by comparison. I think he meant " when going fast, it is SCARY...

    Cheap, practically new NX250.

    [​IMG]

    1990 Dual purpose bike - 2500 miles, great shape, near perfect. Runs great, about 70 mpg. This was a very advanced bike for its time and is still a great performer. About 25 hp and 260 lbs is still ahead of many new bikes. Value is probably 2000 but want to let it go. Please only serious inquiries only.

    Osprey, is that yours? Would you consider a trade for a 1996 XR400R? Not 100% sure I'd do it, but I might, if you would...

    1986 BMW K100RS, second owner - $2500 (Santa Fe)

    <section class="userbody"> <figure class="iw">
    </figure></section>http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/4360084836.html

    1986 BMW K100RS with 65,000 miles. 1986 is considered by many BMW experts to be the best year for the K100 because the engine is stronger and it does not have as many electronics as the later years. I am the second owner and I purchased it from the original owner in 2005. This is an Australian bike, which means it has ten more horsepower than the US version and fewer things to go wrong: like ABS, always-on headlight relays and emissions computer. It also has the Australian Staintune exhaust ($1,100 accessory) which gives it a wonderful sound and more horsepower and torque. I legally imported the bike with me when I moved here from Australia in 2012 and it is registered, titled and insured in New Mexico. It can be registered anywhere in the US based on that.

    I always liked the 350 Sprint and then I rode one. :lol3 They are cool classics however.

    Funny how that kind of looks like a Guzzi single engine of that era. :wink:
