The Guzzi CalVin has 9500 miles, and performs flawlessly in all respects.  The bike had about 7700 miles when I purchased it in 2020.  All of the miles since I bought it are sidecar miles.

The cosmetics of the bike and the sidecar are outstanding.  The rig has always been garaged, and I don’t believe it has ever see rain since I have owned it.  The images tell the story.

ALSO INCLUDED:  Factory service manual and parts manual          (printouts), original owner’s manual, all of the original parts (seat, side cases, luggage rack, crash bars, etc) OEM triple tree, OEM rear drive, OEM chrome steel spoked wheels, a          NEW spare Guzzi windshield, and lots of other assorted spares.

            This is the third hack I have owned (all Guzzi), and it definitely

             handles the best.  The rear end gives it great shift points and 

             lots of low end “grunt”.  It pulls like a freight train!   The custom 

             triple tree and quality Matris damper eliminates any head shake

             and makes it feel like it has power steering!

             I have been working on Guzzis for the past 15 years or so, sorting

             out/restoring everything from an early Ambassador to a Convert

             to a Jackal.  This rig was my last build, and the one in which I 

             have the most pride.  At age 74 I don’t ride it enough, and it 

             is time to move it on to another home where it can be ridden and 

             loved.

Asking $11,800 cash.  I have about 13K into it, but am not looking to make a profit.  Located in Clinton, Iowa (Clinton is about 2.5 hours due west of Chicago.  I'm not sure how to add images to this post, but I have about 20 images available.  Email me at wguntzel@gmail.com and I will send them to you.
