Now i know a few of you are groaning and clutching you testicles and the mere mention of the name and are thinking (well ok maybe not yer actual thinking but somethings going on up there) that Paul needs to get back on his meds... But I thought you would get a kick out of some of the nicest custom Guzzis you will ever see!

Very Nice looking bike

Oooooh, aaaah, I like.

**vifferman** · 21st January 2005, 13:20

Oar some.
I'd row that down the river any time.

Needs a rear hugger though.
Or dry weather.

Bugger, this is hard to say... Nice Guzzi. There, I said it.

I havent seen too many Guzzis in the flesh but I love the look of a doomy engine with a seat/tank/controls basically strapped on top

Funny thing. Mrs H has taken an interest in the new Guzzi Nevada. Maybe it's to do with her concussion...

Nice, good photos

By all accounts it's actually a great bike! I believe the running gear is the same as the Breva 750 which is winning a lot of friends in the USA with it's easy going manners and basic reliability.

The old small blocks were not always very nice bikes and are a bit limited in power due to a bunch of things including the Heron heads but the early Nevada was IMHO not a very nice looking bike. The new one is!

Small block Guzzis are one fun bike in the twisties though! A friends Monza (500cc) is an utter hoot! It's just tiny and not real powerful yet roars like a randy Rhino with it's wedding tackle caught in the Rhino harems barbed wire boundary fence... handles like a 250....

Don't overlook the Breva though. Take one for a test ride.

In all honesty, Guzzi folk are worth the pain of owning an old LM2.

There was a seperate small block forum but the site got hacked and all was lost. If there is a fault with the bikes, one of the yanks will know!

They must have put her on the same medication as Paul - change it quick!

Nice pics though, Paul.
