Guzzi Bellagio Makeover

[Orson]

I spotted this at Moto Guareschi in Parma, Italy.

 

A Guzzi Bellagio donor bike remade as a cafe racer

very nice. Never heard of a Bellagio. Did we get them over here/why not?

I understand the Bellagio was not imported to The States.

 

This reminds me of Calijackalbob's Bellagio:

You don't see 'em around much- however, I did happen upon one whilst stopping for a brew on the moffat run a ways back.

Looked stock i think, apart from the cans and 'bars, and very nice... Almost as nice as my v11

It seems they were brought out at the same time as the 1200- same weight-ish, smaller displacement, had the 4v head.

Spose once they put 4v heads in the 12 it was kinda redundant?

Motor in the first post appears to be a 2-valve V11-type . . . but with a narrow sump and looks to be a 5 speed (?)  . . .

 

BTW, what makes a V11 motor as fitted to the Sports and LeMans etc differ from the same "looking" donk in the Cali EV/ Jackals and such of the same era?

I believe the v11 Cali's have smaller valves a different cam, pistons and map. Not 100% sure.
