"MOTO GUZZI BIG TWINS" Page 25 . " Late in 1968 a revised version of
the V-700 was introduced in Europe.Changes include a WHITE paint scheme
with revised pinstriping ,a rectangular taillight like the one on V-700
prototypes,and a reshaped seat.Some of these were brought to the United
States but with the round taillight.
From what I understand SOME = a total of 5 of them. These were just
before the early Ambos. I passed on one of the early Ambos at VMD this
year. The guy had a photo of it but did not bring it along.He only
wanted $600 for it and it had a VERY low serial number (one digit!).
This bike is a for sure 700 cc , white,original 1968 V-700.It is
different enough to be interesting to me. A real plus is it only has
1100 original miles :-} ! I still prefer a real clean ORIGINAL with a
good patina to a restored or customized machine. A hold over from my old
car days .
