I listened to the video of the “valve noise”, under way.
Yeah right…it made me wonder how many guzzi the tech has touched.
This is indeed a very special edition that, much like many Guzzi attempts at special editions, died on the vine. See the 75th anniversary silver/red. Resale value doesn’t reflect the Guzzi attempt at special editions. in this case, meaning, it’s a damn cheap buy! GUZZI CONTENT! Bingo jackpot!…
There are 1998 EVs out there for a good buy at $3000. This has custom red leather accents made by a very top level Italian company outside the factory on the grips, the saddle, backrest, and leather saddle bags.Tooooooooooooo o baaaaaaaaadddddd about the crocodile lids, but that’s a personal thing for the previous owner. It’s a beautiful smooth fault free one of a kind color. Except for the lids. I wonder if these are new lids with the original ones sitting somewhere. The color in the video is a little duller than reality. Like most guzzi they look brighter and better in person.
I beat $50 the oil leak/s will be centered around the 6oclock position oring sealing the valve cover, the valve cover gasket, or the multiple orings under the rockers, all of which are a piece of cake with a few tools and a torque wrench. A head gasket maybe, a base gasket tricky-err. This is one of the best benefits of a Guzzi, easy access to all of the above.
I drooled over this model when it came out. I think it was the highest priced of all guzzi at the time. I was riding a caliIII with the full fairing. Another special edition that was made in very few numbers but sat on the showroom floor.
Objectively as i see it, your looking at the highest priced model in that year for bottom dollar price.
The valves sound awesomely perfect Guzzi to me. I hope someone else could chime in and listen.
The effing bag lids though make me cry…
