Thanks. The stock color is more or less... the old owner repainted it partially and he tried to get the same color than original but not with complete success, the adhesives are absent too.

Nice bike migcorso, I'd never seen one in the flesh until yesterday afternoon. I was passed by one in traffic here in Toronto in Italian police colours, it even was emblazoned with POLICIA.

Hi Guys, I'm usually on the Stelvio pages,
But today I bought myself a 750 NTX, I saw one on a web site and just fancied one, so today I bought a red one ,Sounds a bit silly but I know nothing about them at the moment but with your help this will all change, I hope :laugh:
I need specs, pictures, links and anything else you can throw at me, no matter how small I will be interested
Really like your blue one (in Lugo) the one I'm having is red, it's come from Italy so it needs to be registered in the UK, should get it in 3 weeks time.
So I have loads of information to glean from you experts, thanks a lot
All the best Graham

Hi, Elvisto.
Welcome to select group :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: with NTX.
There is very little information about these bike.
The better place is www.guzzienduro.it but they don't have forum, only a e-mail list. You can post in English there.
And yes, i have a lot of pictures, but i am a bit lazy to upload them. Do you need any thing/topic in particular?
About the bike... is a small block (Nevada, breva, v75..etc) with big wheels, long suspension travel, big tank and fairing. Parts are the same in most of cases.
My major recommendation is that you change the u-join (about 150 Euro) BEFORE you begin to ride. Because long suspension travel, u-join have a lot of stress and it can to break easily.
There is a cheaper alternative,change only the cross of u-join, with bearings, but you need search for equivalent size in spares store.
Uff, enough english for me today, :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:, but if you have any particular doubt, ask me, of course.

Hi migcorso
Well thanks a lot for the reply :woohoo:
Nice to speak to someone who has one, most people have never even heard of an NTX
hmy:
I'll not be getting the bike for a little while yet, but I'll check out the bearing, to make sure it's ok.
Didn't know what the engine came out of, as I say any information you have will be very welcome.
We could start our own club :silly: could be! as there are only two of us
Do you know how many NTX bike were made.
Speak to you soon ,and thanks
Graham

hi Graham
Thinking of becomeing affiliated to your club as I've got an'87 650 NTX :laugh: [img/]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3361/3424856120_5d47f1ce92.jpg [img/]
I think they made around 3,000 of all types but I have no specific info.Try Guzzitek for documentation and also the medium guzzi French web site...theres a whole load of stuff on the competition models in there.
So far mine has few vices other than being 21 years old.
One word of advice...take it out to the hills

Hi Chris,
WELL! WECOME! to our new club we have 3 members
Your bike looks good, have you taken some of the panels off?
Have you ever seen a handbook for the bike??
Or any other information etc would be great
All the best Graham
Where abouts are you Chris, I'm in the UK

I'm in the south of france just below Millau.The 650's didn't have so much bodywork or a sidestand and also the high mudguard. Mine is pretty original appart from the colour and the seat which I cut down,shorter shocks and a fabricated sidestand.
For documents have a look here
https://www.guzzitech.com/index.php?op ... s&catid=49
No owners manual listed and the workshop manual is a rather worthless supplement to the standard roadster one...basically they are largely the same under all the plastic .
This web site also has loads of interesting small bloc stuff ;
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/smalltwins/
If I spoke italien and proper german i would also have found stuff over there but I have no real fluency in either language.The majority of these bikes were sold at home and to germany.The french also bought quite a lot of the 650's but never imported the 750 .
If you google you should get specs for your bike.The 650's have different ignition advance,primary gearing and carburation from the equivalent roadsters.Forks , plastics, exhaust and brakes are also specific .
Post on Guzzi Gb club 'cause there is another one of us there too !
Maybe we should get a register going - the dedicated forum got quickly overun by Russian "models ' and was very sparsly attended anyway.
There seems a definate lack of interest and information on these bikes ... simular in the way the small blocs in general are viewed but even more so as there are so few of them in use.

Hi Guys
Bike arrived today as promised B)
It's really nice, did about 60 miles mostly on country lanes, very impressed with it, love the engine and chassis, think the tyres are a bit old, will put new rubber on next week .
The bike is an 85/86, come in from Italy to the UK, I thought it was a 90. :unsure:
But it's in first class condition, been very well looked after by the previous owner/s
very few scratches on the paintwork, and the frame parts look like new, so I'm really chuffed
Red and white with a grey seat, only dowside it does'nt have a side stand, will have to get one ! make one ,or beg borrow or steal one :woohoo:
Pictures tomorrow, sorry, used all the light up riding it :lol:hmy:
Regards Graham

hi graham,
glad to hear you like the NTX...
Just a couple of thoughts;
-are you sure it is a 750 ? The early ones which yours seems to be were 650 which in my opinion was the better motor anyway- more perky .
-Sidestand that I have grafted on was from a Quota and complete with the mounting plate .All that was needed was a mounting bar from the centre stand to the engine /frame bolt and the leg extending to suit...about a couple of inches.
_ Well worth getting decent sticky knobblies for her.Ive got older michelins and they are crap in the colder months as they take years to warm up and slide badly till done so.No problem in summer so I'm trying to wear them out before the autumn !!!!!Will try an Avon on the back then and hopefully it will be better.
have fun
Chris
