About this model
About the Moto Guzzi 1000 SP
The Moto Guzzi 1000 SP is an Italian sport-touring motorcycle produced from 1978 until around 1993. The transversely mounted air-cooled V-twin of 949cc (marketed as '1000') with the characteristic Guzzi shaft drive delivers low-down torque, smooth power delivery and excellent engine braking. SP stands for 'Sport Polizia' and the model was used by the Italian police among others, but is equally popular with touring riders. The small bikini fairing gives the SP a sporty-elegant appearance.
The 1000 SP appeals to riders wanting to combine Italian character, reliability and touring comfort in a classic motorcycle. The shaft drive eliminates chain maintenance; the engine is robust and long-lived when well maintained. Used prices are rising as restoration appeal grows. Period competitors include the BMW R 100 RT and Ducati Pantah. A beloved machine among Guzzi connoisseurs.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the shaft drive housing for oil leaks at the output flange; this is a known wear point at higher mileage on Guzzi models.
- Inspect the carburettors for correct synchronisation; the two dell'Orto carbs require regular adjustment for smooth running.
- Check the electrical charging system (alternator and regulator/rectifier); the system ages and can be marginal on later examples.
- Examine the cylinder head gaskets for seeping; the V-twin layout with transverse cylinders is susceptible to head gasket leaks with age.
- Check the inside of the fuel tank for rust; Guzzi tanks of this era are prone to internal corrosion when stored.
