I’ve always loved the aesthetics of dustbin fairings, though they were banned in 1957 as FIM thought that they made bikes unstable at high speeds as soon as a little bit of yaw was introduced – plus the limited steering lock and stability when encountering crosswinds. I’m sure modern technology and aero could help with that, but I think we’re stuck with wings instead of dustbin fairings in the world of racing for the foreseeable future. But on custom builds like this one, people can go as nuts as they want, and it’s cool to see the aluminum bodywork of this Guzzi.
The tank and bodywork was created by Evan Wilcox, and the bike was built for Barry Weiss of Storage Wars. It’s a little odd seeing this kind of aero on a bike making less than 50 horsepower, but the visual package is quite unique! Does that make it worth $30k? Not to me, but maybe to someone else…
Either way, check out the link because there’s the some interesting visual details. Find this Guzzi for sale in Glendale, California for $29,999 here on Cycle Trader.
