I was told by Larry Wise that 15 to 20 were imported. There were 2 models. The early ones had gages on the tank.

Unless you want to put it in your living room to look at, id stay away. 

extremely fragile and unreliable, worse than bad parts availability. 

From the awful period of de tomaso guzzi ownership.

Badge engineering at its finest: pretty much dentical to the Benelli 250 Quatro. I agree that you should give thIs a wide berth if you intend to ride it, but snap it up if you are an art collector.

If you want to ride a small bore multi cylinder bike, get a Honda.

I know of 3 here in California, 2 with Guzzi badges and 1 Benelli. I'm pretty sure all were privately imported from Italy. 

Beautiful little bikes at least visually. I always want to ride one but haven't had the opportunity. I have ridden the Honda 350/4 and the handling is pure... 70s Honda. NOT fun.

They do in fact have four single cylinders in a line. Robert.

I'll take one big cylinder lying on its side any day of the week.The wailing of the syncopated qurtet is no match the laid back thump of our old two wheeled ditch pumps.
