Clearly you haven’t been to the museum at Barber.  Not all of us get to ride every motorcycle ever made, so it’s nice to go and drool on bikes we’ll never own.  Let THIS pristine Daytona rest in piece on display.

Clearly you have no idea where I have been. Yes Barber is an impressive facility but that doesn't diminish the fact that so many of the bikes are now art and not motorcycles.

The Daytona in this thread to date has never had a chance to be enjoyed.

Not true. From Barber's Website: '99% of all motorcycles in the museum can be run within one hour.'

If Barber doesn’t already have one let them buy a used one. They have the ability to restore it like new. If its just going sit there who cares. I know they have a never run Norton F1 Rotary. Shame no one has ridden that bike the way they were meant to be ridden.

Yes, I'm sure all the bike on the towers, walls and suspended from the ceiling routinely get taken down and they get to go a lap or two around the track or started and revved up a few times for the audience. Yup just the way manufacturers intended.

[blackcat]

Barber's wants you to give them the bike or sell it to them at fire sale prices unless it is something extremely rare. This one is way out of their price structure.

Sad Shit, It's only worth $$ if it stay"s like it is. Seems like this sold years ago or one in same state.

If you have the means, buy it & ride it. save it from it's demise. A Sin Against St Carlo.

Naa, I don't want it. I hated to ride my museum piece LM V. A machine you can't use has no value to me..

Which I'd had $32,000 to spend...

[tazio]

16 for the bike.
16 for the box.
The price of wood HAS gone through the roof! (so to speak).

Haven't read this whole thread but... This gem will only maintain the current value (in our lifetime) if it remains in the crate, right? I can only imagine that a non-rider bought it. Seems like a rider wouldn't be able to NOT put it together and ride it.

Biggest thing not to do is titling the bike and turning in the MSO.  Once the MSO is turned in the bike starts to officially age and lose value.  It's still a "new" 1993 Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000.  It doesn't matter how mileage is on the odometer.

Video from South Africa, they got very few Daytona’s. He says one and he’s enthusiastic about it
