Beautiful bike sir, well done👍🏻
Wonderful Guzzi.
Love the seat and rear light.
My only gripes?
If its pre 82 it doesnt need indicators, hate the things.
Being a Luddite and analogue guy, not keen on the clock, would have liked to have seen a couple of round trad old 60's Guzzi Veglia clocks on there like on mine.
Beautiful job, Brian, lovely bike. So glad that that Coburn & Hughes LM2 remained unmolested!!
Happy roads n' rides to yer, long may it give you pleasure.
Nick - how come you went out on the Beemer rather than your Guzzi?? Perfect opportunity for a sonorous duet, no??
Best w's to both of you anyway & thanks - good video : )
Possibly due to filming duty’s 🤔
Beautiful !!
That is beautiful
Incredible Guzzi. Great work, I fell in love of your bike. Greetings from Argrntina.
Beautiful
Quite magnificent. Just the four pots up front that don't quite work to my mind, particularly with the artifice of the adaptive hangers. Plenty enough braking power in old Brembo 2 pots given the meagre power output of a Guzzi. That headlight nacelle, utterly superb.
Brilliant get what you want buy building it the way you want it,, dreams can be real for the individual,,, brilliant happy men and women,,, wait until the correct parts and no compromise,, from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️😃
Dont usualy go for Guzzis or BMWs. But youre toy took my eye !
FAVOLOSA !!! STUPENDA
Schöne Arbeit !
Very cool.
superb
Let's not be too concerned about it's actual heritage, but remember the old saying " a thing of beauty is a joy forever".
Like it, I do. Very much.

Inspires me to get my old 1000 on the road again
GORGEOUS! Can we get a link to what that "old poster with the pretty girl" looked like? Great job and thanks for sharing.
lovely job, but how much has that lot cost.
it would be interesting to see this kind of bike overhauled by Dave
I'm always in two minds when I see something like this beautiful machine. I love it to bits but am sad to see old bikes cut up to make it. What to do?.
Yes in one way it is sad. I will say that here in the states there are an increasing number of 'parts bikes' and very few survivors. With original parts hard to find, this is one way to keep old bikes on the road and new riders interested in them. But yes I agree there are many cut-up Honda KZ's now and once you go that direction, it is difficult to reverse.
Fully understand. Whole my life I'm into classic bikes. And of course this guzzi is a brilliant puece of art but at the end, bikes are used to sit on and to drive them. Being used. Making holidays etc.....it feels a bit sad that a complete restored bike loose all his patina and history
Thank you.
My views are that if you are going to turn an old bike into a ‘special’ then use a wreck of a bike not something already in a mess.
This old T3 Guzzi was really a long way from being nice, the picture flatters it. Besides, there are plenty of these base model bikes around, you’d have been right to tell me off had I used the black and gold Le Mans.!!!
Also, if you are going to cut up an old bike, be thoughtful, do it justice, do it carefully and with pride, don’t just cut it up and slap a plank seat and exhaust wrap and call it a cafe racer.
Hi Brian, beautiful Guzzi. Can you please give me a reference for the brembo clutch? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks Ralph
Owned a LeMans II for a while. Great engine. The most uncomfortable bike I've ever ridden. Wasn't sorry to get shot of it. The Cafe racers look awesome but must be physical torture to ride. What an engine though! And what a sound they have.
“Rosso Zagato” is a Alfa Romeo color.
Would love to see that pin up that inspired him do you have a link to it?
Hi Kell, we asked but unfortunately we weren't allowed to use it due to copyright laws.
@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel Oh bugger, I searched it and couldnt find it either.
@@kell7195 if you type in 'Davida Girl Zagato' into google she'll come up
Sorry it's so difficult to just show you a photo, I had it in the edit initially, but wasn't allowed use it due to copyright.
@@TheClassicMotorcycleChannel Oh nice cheers 👍🏻
