Is this the only Moto Guzzi Strada 750 in the UK?

According to How Many Left my bike is the ONLY Strada 750 still on the roads on the UK

I can't believe that. Someone must have seen one around. Mine is a 1994 model. There are supposed to be 2 others SORNed. Anyone know of one?

Pretty sure the website (DVLA database?) is very inaccurate. Claims there is only 1 Honda CB-1 on the road, which isn't right at all. Beyond that, more Skyjet 125's on the road at the moment than there are GSXR600's? Yeah, I don't think so

I can quite believe about the Skyjets, bloody things are everywhere round here.

How accurate is this data?

As with all large government databases, there are errors in this dataset (especially since quite a lot of the data for older vehicles is based on paper records that were originally maintained by local authorities).

The most common error that crops up is vehicles that don't have exactly the correct model variant recorded on their V5 registration document. For example, a special edition Peugeot 205 Gentry might only have Peugeot 205 recorded on its V5. This can lead to some model variants appearing to be rarer than they actually are.

The key to understanding whether or not the data is accurate for your particular model is to check the model name on its V5 registration document. If it's not what you expect it to be, then it's likely that the DVLA statistics for that model aren't very accurate!

This happens more often with older vehicles, especially for those that would have originally been registered in the 1970s and earlier.

I'm about to buy a Strada 750 that's been off the road since 2004, so that'll be one extra on the roads soon hopefully, how has the Strada been for you noobRider?

I could quite believe their to be so little of these bikes on the road, finding information or any for sale is very hard.

If the data is anything to do with the DVLA you'd be better off reading the back of a box of cornflakes.

I have a 750 Strada. It's is currently on SORN. I have a Griso 1100 that is my main ride. Still like the Strada.

Your not alone. I intend to get mine back on the road soon.

It's very inaccurate. There are only 6 RXS 100s

The MZ I bought recently doesn't even have a model on the V5. Just 'MZ' as the make and the engine capacity.

Mines still sorned, so their data must be wrong. Mines currently got the gear box off for a return spring change on the gears, I'm getting there slowly, hopefully have it on the road in the next few weeks.

What was wrong with the jetting on yours, and do you know much about tuning the carbs? I feel I may have to do mine as when I got it home and fired it up, it would only run when the choke was out, it would die whenever I put the choke back in. Maybe it was due to having been sat for 9 years, I dunno...

[noobRider]

According to the bloke that looks after our bikes and who I bought it from, it's got non-standard air filters which allow more air through. The jets needed to be bigger to allow for this.

I don't know anything about tuning the carbs and I'm not sure this bloke knows enough about these either. I'm thinking of taking it somewhere with a proper dyno to get it properly set up and get the carbs balanced, seeing as I've just tweaked them by eye.

I've found it's very sensitive to the choke. After it's left for a few days it needs a lot to start but I need to take it off very quickly, or almost all off. I'm still learning it's ways

It sounds like you might need to get any muck and water out of the fuel tank and clean the carbs to get it running right. There's a garage near us that I'm sure has a water leak into a fuel tank. Several people I know have had problems after filling up there.

My old 500 was a great starter - I had probs with the starter motor and used to bump it most of the time - but it would fire up straight away every time The electrics looked really Mickey Mouse but held up apart from once when a connecter needed cleaning up.
I asked a bloke who worked in a nearby shop how he liked his Guzzi. He had bought a brand new one about 5 years ago, I forget which model. He said that he hated it and had nothing but trouble from the word go. Hasn't put me off though and would love another more recent one, one day.
You mention the sideways movement at standstill, I read that the engine is the best V-Twin configuration ever made.
