Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design, with the sporty Le Mans models becoming the most sought after model. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity vee-twins with the V50 Monza becoming known as the 'baby Le Mans'. The Monza sported bigger valves and carbs over that of the standard V50.
NMD was owned by James Todd in 2011 and he rebuilt the carburettor. In 2013 our vendor bought it but has rarely used it, although it has been MOT'd many times. These MOT's go back to 1996 at 18,140 miles slowly increasing, the last one was in 2022 at 19,120 miles, today the odometer shows 19,139 miles.
