1978 Moto Guzzi V50 MkII In As Brand New Condition

1978 Moto Guzzi V50 MkII – A Jewel of Italian Engineering

Better Than New – The Best V50 on Earth

There are motorcycles. Then there are Moto Guzzis. And then there is this Moto Guzzi—a 1978 V50 MkII so perfect, so exquisitely restored, that it makes even factory-fresh examples look unfinished.

This is not a bike. This is an obsession in metal, rubber, and soul.

A Restoration Beyond Perfection

One former keeper—a Guzzi fanatic with deep pockets and limitless patience—poured mountains of money and hundreds of hours into making this V50 the best in existence. Every nut, every bolt, every surface has been painstakingly reworked, refinished, and perfected to a level Moto Guzzi themselves would struggle to match.

The result? A brand-new 1978 V50—except better.

The Cleanest, Most Perfect V50 Ever Offered

• Paintwork as deep as an Italian opera – flawless, rich, and mirror-smooth.

• Chrome and alloy polished to an intoxicating gleam – no pits, no scratches, just pure brilliance.

• Wiring, fasteners, and fittings all factory-correct – because every detail matters.

• Astonishing mechanical condition – the lightest, tightest V50 you will ever ride.

This is a bike that redefines what “mint condition” means. You will never find another.

The Ride – A Masterpiece in Motion

The V50 MkII is a revelation on the road. It is light, nimble, and alive, the 500cc transverse V-twin singing its deep, charismatic tune beneath you. With its shaft drive and perfectly balanced chassis, this is a motorcycle that dances through corners with grace and eats up long roads with effortless charm.

This isn’t just about riding—it’s about feeling. About hearing the soulful burble of that iconic engine. About flicking through gears with a precision that makes your heart race. About owning something so rare, so utterly perfect, that people stop and stare wherever you go. Offered by a Serious Collector

I am not a dealer. I am a private collector who has owned some of the finest classic cars and motorcycles in the world. This V50 is part of a carefully curated collection—one of the best machines I have ever owned.

I never intended to sell this. But due to political instability in South Africa, I am reluctantly parting with my prized vehicles. This is not just another classic bike for sale—it is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own the best.

Global Shipping – Handled with Love and Care

For international buyers, I have made full shipping arrangements through Freight Factory, based at the port of Cape Town. This is a highly professional outfit that specializes in the careful, secure transport of classic motorcycles worldwide. Buyers can rest assured that this Guzzi will be handled with the same obsessive care it has received its entire life.

Serious Buyers Only

If you’re looking for a “cheap classic” or a “weekend project,” look elsewhere. This is the best V50 in the world. If you understand what that means, get in touch.

I’ve already wasted time with one deluded time-waster who thought he could haggle for something this rare. I won’t make that mistake again.

Serious inquiries only.
