- Candid Video of Ewan Talking about why he bought his Mille GT, forgive the bad audio with all the shop equipment running in the background. We have an older Video with Ewan here: • Restoring Ewan McGrego... Thanks for watching!
Got 6 Guzzi's myself.Theyre definitely habit forming.The Mille GT looks kinda like a hesketh
Ciao ragazzi un saluto speciale a Ewan grande personaggio e Guzzista di lungo corso, attore eccelso di grande umiltà, tornando alla Guzzi gt è veramente bella una nuda pura, trovo paradossale che in Italia questa moto è estremamente rara, se ne trovano poche in vendita, forse perché non ha avuto successo. La provai proprio nei primi anni 90, era ben rifinita, confortevole e con una buona posizione di guida, era di un mio amico entusiasta, perché amava molto le moto nude senza carenature e prediligeva le strade provinciali per ammirare il paesaggio, odiava le autostrade considerandole piuttosto monotone. Grazie di cuore per mantenere vivo questo mitico marchio ciao e buon lavoro.
Nice bike!! I love moto guzzi... they are different. Thanks to Ewan!
I just love that Ewan McGregor is into moto guzzi, this obscure Italian motorcycle brand. It's just cool.
And the integral brake was great for a guy I knew in Australia who had lost an arm in a bike accident but kept riding, with some modifications. He moved onto a moto guzzi California. Integral brake worked well for him.
Yah it's ok till you push REALLY hard into a corner and then things become hair whiteningly interesting.
I won't be changing my 88 Le Mans to front only as I want to keep it original.
I just don't take liberties with the braking.
What a beautiful and rare bike! I love how the seat could blends into the tank.
It's a really nice bike, rare for the 90's, as Moto Guzzi seemed to lose there way with their design in this decade, They tried to make them look more modern like the Japanese stuff when really they needed to keep with the traditional look that they eventually went back to with the V7. Even with this Mille GT the fuel tank isn't quite right as the line dips down below the seat. Moto Guzzi's always look their best when the lines are straight. I've actually grown to love the style of this bike and would buy one in an instant given the chance, like all Guzzi's they didn't make them in large numbers. My favourite Guzzi is still the 1000s, just because it has the retro looks of the 750s but a bit more affordable.
It does ride fantastic- mine is the black and gold -after 34 years of loops, and my V11- this is a nice bridge between vintage and modern.
I was after a Mille GT for a couple of months, They ring so close to my SPII 1000, seems like a reasonable stable mate.
Ewan has good taste
I have a few Guzzis. A LeMans 2, a Spada 1000, California 3 and a Monza into which I put a 750 engine. The Spada is my favourite
I have one from 1994 with a sidecar 😊Fantastic machine.
Love those Millies! Underrated bikes, never should have sold mine!
They are nice Running!!
Same here . I had a red 1989 when I lived in California , and it was the most charming bike I ever owned . I'm looking for another one
Nicely video, greetings from Mandello del Lario 😉🇮🇹🏍🦅👍
Thanks Alberto!!
@@MoeMooreCycleGarden ever a pleasure Moe! 😉👍
Moto Guzzi are bikes you don’t buy and add, but you collect. Something about them once you have one in your possession, it’s very difficult to let them go. Be careful because once you buy one, then you’ll buy another, and before you know it you’ll have a small museum collection of Moto Guzzi 🦅 ❤️
Imagine having Ewan McGregor over for lunch
Mamma mia, love that sound..
I'm picking up one next week- what a cool odd GUZZI
Hi Cycle Garden, based on your discussion is buying a Mille GT a gamble due to lack of knowledge and some spares? Also did you re-spray Ewan’s bike? This one looked classic Guzzi maroon rather than the common Mille red. Great video guys! Keep em coming!
I had a Spada 2 which had the same tank and sidepanel set up. The front of the sidepanel clipped into a grommet at the end of the tank on each side but sometimes when going over 80 one of the sidepanels would detach at the front leaving me to try and hold onto it with my leg while I'd try to make it to the side of the road. I lost one once and after retracing my route I found it again, a bit scuffed but otherwise ok.
Unfortunately hard to watch with this audio.
I know about them. I bought my Black 90 Millie new. I put points distributor in mine, it runs fine.
Linked brakes are excellent
Mille GT😍🥰😘
T-5s were in the states, we got the 16" wheels version.
Love the Mille
Stupid question, is the front tire on backwards or is it trick photography? This bike makes me think of in-between old school and modern Era. Looks great.
Funny I was thinking the same about the tire.
Back in the years (in Italy at least) tyres were wee thin :)
Unfortunately a lot of the Mille GT got butchered with the cafe racer trend.
How do you eat mojitos? Or did I hear them wrong?
Amazing!
I had the exact same bike. Got rid of it simply because the 35mm forks could not be trusted on anything but the smoothest of roads, with or without the quality aftermarket steering damper connected. High speed (for this bike, anything over 60mph...) wobbles were scary. Please be careful.
Has Ewan still got his F4?
guzzista vero ✌
I really did not like the Mille, too modern, too square, but that bike in blood red with spoked wheels, yes, I'm a Convert (gettit?😀)
Hi Moe, Mille GTs are not rare in Germany. As fas as I know the German Importer made this modell. If you need some parts - just let me know. I can help. ;-)
Moto Guzzi have made a Lot of ugly bikes, this red thing is one of them.
I still haven't forgiven them for calling their latest commuter bikes "V7s" - idiots.
damn, watta beauty.
