Moto Guzzi V7 Ambassadeur

The Moto Guzzi V7 Ambassador has been owned by the current owner since 2006. In 2007 & 2008 completely restored in collaboration with Moto Guzzi specialist Jan Robers Motoren: the engine (now 850cc), gearbox and shaft were overhauled, the frame was powder coated, all parts on and to the engine were replaced and the wiring harness was renewed. New front and rear shocks have also been fitted and the brakes have been overhauled. This was done to make the motorcycle "travel" ready to ride to Beijing via the Silk Road. After the trip, the bike was again completely overhauled by Jan Robers. Since then, the bike has been used very little.

The engine is technically and electronically in very good condition. Since the engine overhaul and gearbox overhaul, the Guzzi has covered only 30,000 kilometers. During the overhaul much attention has been paid to preventing technical problems. For example, the crankcase has been made suitable for an oil filter, the carburetors have been renewed, modern switches have been placed on the handlebars and the throttle lever has been replaced by a Tommaselli throttle lever (which makes the chance of cable breaks much smaller). The bike also has some wonderful and practical details, such as the long running boards, a windshield, long side stand, ground switch, 12V outlet and tank bag. Several years ago two more beautiful Lafranconi exhaust mufflers were purchased. These were recently installed along with a new battery.

Due to long travel and years in the garage, the chrome has had little attention. Also, the KM counter and tachometer are broken. The custom saddle from the USA is beautiful, but the seat plate is unfortunately a bit rusty. The bike comes with many spare parts, as well as those that have been replaced over the past 12 years but may still be usable in the future. All invoices and a 2008 appraisal report are present.
