If only I had a spare 25K in my back pocket!

Doesnt seem that expensive really, seeing the year, and I'm sure the engine is worth a fair amount on its own!

Nice, very nice. 2 speed one probably, with the ideal number of limbs for driving it being one leg and four arms!

Thats exactly the right limb combitation I need for riding my Guzzino! One leg for the rear brake, one hand for the clutch 2nd for the front brake, 3rd for the lever throttle and the fourth hand for the tank mounted gear lever! Maybe the designer lived near a leaky atomic power station? :D

Or electronic aids including a voice telling which hand to hold what with. The Nagatronic pillion option.

I wondered if Berkeley and Oldbury Power plants had anything to do with the odd folk you meet from the Forest of Dean? Not yet met a natural born Guzzino rider from there but I have met several inhabitants prepared to try and make one out of me.
