This 500cc two stroke from 1988 is sitting there in front of a mall, just like a time machine.
I did not expect to take so many pictures of motorcycles on my trip there a few years ago.
Maybe once the community has more activity we can get a vote going on images people submit?
* Picture from the DGR ride 2018.
Bought in 2017 from someone who'd owned it from new and only had ~12,000 miles on it... And now has ~25,000.
Low-sided back in 2019, so the bike doesn't look quite so nice anymore, and neither do I haha.
Name a bike you regret selling thread... my turn 🥹
Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. 2010 Neo retro, even if it doesn't mean much more than fuel injection about Moto Guzzi bikes.
She was a typical Moto Guzzi: lovely engine, great handling and finish-it-yourself everything else.
Not too viby, just enough to remind you motorcycles are a bit more than mecanical parts in motion, riding was inspiring and relaxing. One can say operating a Moto Guzzi like that forces you too go nice and slow, mostly like driving an actual vintage bike, except it fires up every time.
This one I regret selling because 10 years later I am looking at it again, and now I should afford owning more than one bike at a time.
