From the look, a V7, but I am not really knowledgable about Guzzi's 
(even though I think they are beautiful machines!) |

I'd be guessing the V7 as well. It's the local market and occassionally one of the shoppers comes in on his well used Le Mans Mach 1. It's a great place for riding in and doing the week's food shopping as there's heaps of bike parking space. |

They are very well known here in the UK. You can tell if someone has owned one - they have excellent electrical knowledge  |

Orio it looks like it was a fun bike. Mine was a Yamaha SR250, no pics I'm afraid.
I'm currently bikeless as some idiot decided they didn't believe in obeying traffic lights which left my bike very broken and me with a broken wrist. At least the insurance company is paying for the wrecked bike so I'll have a replacement in the not too distant future. Here's the bike, not the greatest pic, a Yamaha FZ1.

Actually it was a great bike! Would be underpowered today, but extremely reliable, and very comfortable. I often joked that I could make coffee and cook a meal in the saddle, and the bike would not even notice that something was going on |

Nothing wrong with the CX500s. I remember someone who used one for racing and used to do strange things to it. Last time I saw it racing he'd converted it to a single sided swing arm. |
