Really nice bike. I am looking for a W650 right now. I wonder what ks or miles it has done when you bought it. Also how long have you had it and how any ks or miles you have done so far. Enjoyed your video.

Hi Bruce, thanks for the compliment. It is indeed a very nice bike and i can only recommend trying one out. I bought the bike last year, when i sold my Triumph T 120. If the shown km are correct, it has done ablut 16tkm so far. 13tkm when i bought it. As the bike is over 20 years old and went through numerous owners, it is hard to say if that's the truth, but it is totally possible. Most owners were eldery people and changed more than they put it out on the street. Hope it helps.

@Davidbrayshaw, thanks for the helpful comments, just bought a 1999 in same colour scheme, can’t stop looking at it, looking forward to spring time to get it out for a run 👍

I know, but appearantly everything is ok. Some W 650 are jus4 noisier than others. Why that is...No one really seems to know :)

I’ve owned 5 guzzis. Four Tonti framed Lemans’ and a carb 1100 Sport. In my 60’s now, I’ve become interested in the less sporty models, like the 850-T. Currently actively searching for an 1000 SP. not many for sale. Anyway, great sounds. Great bike. Thanks for posting.

I wonder why so many put money and effort into more or less successful rebuild of a bike that was perfect from the factory when it was released in 1999! Even Kawasaki themself made some not so nice editions last years and with a higher price. I thought that stupidity was reserved for Harley Deadvision?
@KinghariiiАй бұрын
Well, maybe because it's fun and some people like to give their bike a personal touch? I wonder why someone would care what a person does with his/her motorcycle?

Lucky me it wasn't that cold. :) Also i would never risk my beloved Guzzi and ride below zero degree. Can be fun, but it's not worth it.

They have a 2013 Thruxton over at a dealership near me, it has some aftermarket pipes, but when they turned it on I immeaditly started grinning ear to ear. It sounded better than any other bike I've ever heard, including my Grandpa's new Indian Scout; I told him that and he thought it was lunacy to think it was. I want one so bad but I don't have the money for it, right now.
@Kinghariii2 ай бұрын
I feel your pain, they truly sound great with an after market exhaust. The Thruxton 900 is a good looking bike with a lot of customizing potential. I really liked it a lot, but sold it last year as i was trying out something different. Before buying, i strongly recommend a test ride, as the stock configuration is quite uncomfortable to ride. Had to try out a lot until i could truly enjoy riding the Triumph.

Superb Guzzi. A real Classic that is usable and easy to maintain. Glad it is being enjoyed and ridden unlike a lot of older bikes which are bought as investments. Lovely countryside and empty roads.
@Kinghariii2 ай бұрын
Thank you! A Guzzi and any other old bike should be ridden as they were ment to be. They have so much more character than the new bikes and make a lot of fun. Easy to handle, reliable and most of the work can be done by yourself (if you are willing to learn and have patience).

I have the same bike , very-light and flickable , no rocket-ship but it can be used for pretty-much everything , from pottering around town to touring , I've even seen one with mud-tyres , off-road . There are very-few bikes that fit this bill while looking so-good . When you get bored and sell it , it's the kind of bike you wish you'd kept ( like that girlfriend you never forgot ) Dave nz

@Kinghariii3 ай бұрын
I would love to, but they are were already mounted when i bought the bike. I think they are just some classic after markets exhausts from an old Triumph. Unfortunately they are not branded.

@@Kinghariii thanks, do you know if the diameter of the tube is the same of Triumph Bonneville/ Trophy so could be possible to fit that type?

Hallo, so ein schönes Bike! Was hast du denn für eine Sitzbank und Heck verwendet? Das sieht ja mega gelungen aus!
@Kinghariii3 ай бұрын
Freut mich wenn es gefällt. Die Sitzbank ist eine Eigenanfertigung aus Blech vom Satller bezogen. Heck ist ein Edelstahlschutzblech schwarz gepulvert mit Rücklicht und Blinker aus dem Zubehörbereich. Das Bike wurde im Prinzip komplett überarbeit und der Kabelbaum angepasst.

The reason why the exhaust pipe is blue is because it’s not the original. The original pipe was DOUBLE TUBED or a double pipe. A pipe within a pipe. That’s why the original pipes didn’t turn blue. More expensive, but no blueing ! And by the way, the muffler looks to be a Triumph peashooter exhaust.
