Introduced for 1990, Moto Guzzi's retro-styled 1000S was in effect a naked Le Mans V, its elegant black and red livery evoking memories of the 750 S and S3 models of the mid-1970s, particularly when ordered with wire-spoked wheels. Despite its undeniably good looks, the 1000S sold in limited numbers, only 1,205 were made between 1990 and the final year of production in 1993.
In 1992, Moto Guzzi launched the 1000SE, a limited edition version of the 1000S built specifically for the UK market. The SE was finished in red and came with a small bikini fairing/fly screen (like this example) or a full fairing. All were badged '1000S' and all had spoked wire wheels. It is thought that only about 40 of these examples were manufactured.
This Moto Guzzi 1000SE was imported by Three Cross Motorcycles and first registered for road use on 3rd March 1992. The motor is the more desirable big valve with 40mm carburettors. Notable features include Lafranconi Moto Guzzi exhaust silencers and stainless steel 'H' mid section, believed to be options from new.
The first owner improved reliability by fitting a Lucas RITA electronic ignition system. He also removed the carburettors' stiff external springs and installed medium weight internal springs which were found to function better, making the throttle action lighter.
Owned and cherished by the same family for the last 25 years, the machine has been used during finer weather and serviced regularly. Every effort has been made to retain originality as much as possible while also ensuring that the machine remains serviceable. The red paintwork is original except for the side panels, which were refinished around 10 years ago. Some sensible upgrades such as braided brake lines and braided oil line have been fitted.
The current odometer reading is 64,841 kilometres. Some original parts, including the airbox, tool tray, rubber brake lines, and tail light bracket are included in the sale. Accompanying documentation incudes a current V5C; a current MOT (March 2027 expiry); photocopy parts diagram and photocopy owner's manual; expired MoTs; and a quantity of invoices for parts purchased and work carried out.
