Spotted at Deus on Sunday, 650cc Moto Guzzi, but I can't seem to track down any more info about this model. Maybe the Sideburn boys can fill me in. This one's for you, Chris!

Gorgeous. I may just have to add a touch of orange to the black and red striping on my V7 now!
Thanks Adam,

Don't touch anything smaller than an 850cc. Unless you never plan on leaving the city limits.

Looks like it could be a V65? With the side panel badge (out of shot) missing if it's hard to identify?

The V65 had a claimed 50hp when new, about the same as the current V7 Classic, albeit with a slightly higher rev limit.
So it's a slightly smaller engine, more stressed (and no doubt much worse emissions) but pretty perky.
As Gary already suggested, don't waste your time with the V65 - unless you want to this to it:
