Looks interesting Axel, but I'm not sure it's such a bargain since one would have to find an original 750 engine. David ... Looks interesting Axel, but I'm not...
yes, this V7 sport has a 1000 SP engine, but who cares ?? I owned the same bike (really the same in colour, drum brakes, with a 1000 SP engine) which is in...
Well, I agree with you from an aesthetic point of view Axel, but I thought the one of the points about this group was that the 750 engines have characteristics...
David, the 750 cc engine of the V7 sport is interesting for its unique camshaft (in the Guzzi range) and its timing gears. Otherwise, its 52 hp at the wheel...
Ok 750 fiends, I know this isn't strictly your highly specialised cup of tea, but I have two photographs of a Guzzi motor/gearbox in a purpose made Egli spine...
hello David, Egli frames are rare, highly desirable and horribly expensive. Fritz Egli is a very old man (is he stil alive, by the way ?) and only 1 person is...
Hi Axel, I have found two websites, one for Egli factory and it would seem he is still making things, mostly for Enfields, and I think Godet does the Vincent...
Dear Axel Thanks for the authoritative reply. Oh despair! - I know that the likes of Falloon don't like the S3 but I'd hoped against reason that it would have...
Whaoo ! thanks for the pictures, David ! This is an interesting bike ! Special pistons and conrods, lightened crank and bevel boxes... this racer could be a...
Sorry for being authoritative.... I've owned a 750 S3, several 750 Ss and V7 Sports in 750, 850 and 1000 cc, so I can compare and have a little idea ;-) Maybe...
Dear David I just wanted to tell you that I have lived happily riding the "gutless beauty". I won't consider it a slouch - my only modification over the years...
Thanks for the reply Axel. I picked up the S3 very cheaply and quite by accident whilst searching for a T3 to build into a V7S homage. I love rebuilding...
david-s, Sorry for butting in on a long running discussion but in my limited experience a V7 Sport with its 70mm crank likes to rev and is made more capable of...
Fritz Egli is still alive and still running the same business as the past 20 years , he is enfield importer in the Switzerland, and i think also the Vmax an...
Thanks for the encouragement David. I'm just rebuilding to original spec with no enhancements at all (except stainless hoses), as I say, it will probably be on...
I'm new here, but hope it's OK to jump right in. I couldn't be more interested, as I've been doing Moto Guzzi since 1977. The posts regarding Godet are true;...
David - I think you're being a bit negative about the poor old S3, and before you've even finished it. I too have ridden stock V7 Sports, 750Ss, S3s of various...
I finally got round to servicing the Le Mans 2 project bike I have. Went to do the tappets/valve clearances,and discovered the original D and S marks don't...
Thanks for that encouragement Adam. I read your article in Classic Bike before I'd even thought about an S3 and liked what I read. I should have the S3 back...
Again, being new here I hope it is OK to speak freely. While the popular authors (Ian Falloon, Mick Walker) seem to downgrade the 750S, and the S3 even more, I...
Nicely put Nolan on all points! You are free to say what you like, we don't have a 'newbie' system, or stand on ceremony, it's just a virtual leaning against...
David - I stand by every word I wrote in Classic Bike. If you are disappointed with yours on completion, come and try mine! if you do sell yours, John will get...
Adam, I often pop over to see John and he's been very good at helping me with my 860gts Ducati. I share your sentiments about the Dukes, fabulous engines and...
Hi David, I have a 1974 750S, pictures on the site, which Adam kindly collected for me from Cheddar which initially I was a little disappointed with its...
What an unusual day on the 750 Forum! I can’t remember this amount of traffic in the last couple of years. Very interesting and long may it continue. I am...
hello, yes Nolan, Walker and Falloon did a lot to destroy the S and S3's reputation, compared to the Sport. As you said, de Tomaso's economies from year 1973...
Paul, this is one of the details that gives the final touch to a nice restoration, and these little chromed bits are impossible to find and buy (for what I...
Axel Thanks for the tip. Do you have a part no. for the black ones? Paul. _____ Paul, this is one of the details that gives the final touch to a nice...
