Thomas, Kevin and Craig, thanks very much for your responses and advice.
Sounds like this bike may be civilian with a few police bits (the owner
told me the bike was a police model and that the bracket at the back behind
the seat was originally for the radio). I figured it should have floor
boards and that the seat was wrong for a cop bike, but then again if
someone wanted a bike for everyday use i suppose they would be the things
to change. It might be worth a look anyhow. What about the colour scheme
- does that give anything away?
The price is in A$, which means you can just about halve it for US$. I
have to admit I'm tempted to buy one in the US and ship it out here - there
just aren't enough around locally to be able to be picky it seems.
A couple of questions - Is it the case that the Ambassador is less
practical to use than the El Dorado (called the 850 GT in Australia and
also Europe I believe). I'm thinking the Ambassador has one less gear and
is a 750 as opposed to an 850, but does that make real difference touring?
What is a comfortable touring speed on them?

Paul that is a plain old civilian model. All police bikes come with floor
boards, not foot pegs.

Hi list - just a brief introduction and a request for help. I'm an aspiring loopframe owner that has been observing from afar (Sydney Asutralia) for a couple of weeks now. I currently own a 1974 Ducati |
| Single that I'm looking to get rid of so I can get a loop. I though I'd start the search early because there aren't a great number of loopframes out here it seems. Perhaps you guys can help me figure out from the |
| at http://www.e-motorcycle.com.au/moto_guzzi_motorcycles_for_sale.htm whether this potential purchase is a genuine LAPD Ambassador? It's |
| a long way from civilisation - Bundaberg in Queensland, but if it's the real deal I'm going for a holiday nearby in a couple of weeks, so I'll go view it then. Thanks in advance for your help - I'm impressed with the wealth of information you guys share.
