Beautiful Classic Moto Guzzi V50 II being sold from my private Moto Guzzi collection.

Being sold from my collection of Classic Italian Motorcycles, as I have ultimately made the decision to sell off my entire collection inventory, including my Moto Guzzi V50 500CC.

After many years of actively collecting and enjoying a multitude of classic Moto Guzzi’s, the time has come to pass this little gem on to it's next custodian.

1978 Moto Guzzi V50 II 500CC V Twin:

In immaculate condition, totally unmolested and presented in flawless aesthetic order.
Accident and rust free, mechanically superb, this bike, offers the Italian motorbike connoisseur, the opportunity of immediate ownership of a rare and highly acclaimed V Twin cruising machine.

Presented in like new and turnkey order.

The V50 is in glorious all-round condition, I am the second owner, the first owner having been an Italian expat, living in South Africa.

He purchased the Guzzi new in Europe and brought it with to SA.
I was fortunate to procure the bike, as it was in excellent original condition.

I wanted the Guzzi to be like a new bike, so in 2023 the V50 underwent a comprehensive restoration, the work was done by a Moto Guzzi factory trained technician. As a result, the bike is genuinely as good as new, if not better.
Used sparingly since, and has just been run in with minuscule mileage.

It is truly a work of art and will be an excellent addition to a classic Italian bike collection. Work completed on the V50;
• Full engine and gearbox rebuild (all new parts imported ex UK)
• New clutch
• New hydraulics
• New cables
• New Pirelli tyres
• Carburettors fully rebuilt and tuned.
• New chain and sprockets
• New brakes
• New battery
• All trim polished and powder coated
• Paint professionally refinished

The V50 starts on the button and is as smooth as silk, an ideal choice for continental touring, also a great bike for daily commuting.

Included with the V50 is an original Moto Guzzi visor and a container full of additional spare parts. Many of which are still like new.

An opportunity to acquire such a perfect bike from a single and dedicated owner, does not present itself too often, and is worth serious consideration.
