May I introduce you to my 750 S from 1989. My other bikes are a cafe-racer based on a Guzzi 1000 Strada of 1994 and another cafe-racer made of a 650 Cagiva Allazzura.
I bought the 750 two years ago, and it already had its Boss exhaust and 17’ wheels, but still had its Weber which I had replaced with two Dell’Ortos 36. The frame is not original. It is made of the front part of a 91-98 model, on which a battery case and the rear part of a 88-90 model were glued. It seems untidy from a conceptual point of view but the work was done neatly. Anyway, I have since found a complete original 1989 frame which I will mount at some point in the future. The bodywork was in poor shape, so I restored it and sprayed it. Since I am not a fan of the original deco, I draw inspiration from the F1 Laguna Seca and Montjuich. A few other things were changed for aesthetic reasons, but without straying too much afar from the original.
The bike runs well but I think the carburettor settings should be changed. It pulls tremendously well at times, particularly around 6000 RPM, but when I open the throttle at around 4000-5000 RPM the response is not immediate and engine seems to gasp for fuel. Also, it tends to sputter when the throttle is only partly open. I was very happy to find the best carb settings in this forum. I’ll try them and tell you what.
I like the look of this machine. It is slimmer and rawer than the later models, and of course closer to the F1. Not to mention that it is an excellent ride, perfectly adapted for road use.
