...Seller trying to whip a buyer into a frenzy that isn't there.

I was a little whipped after the test ride, but I never got frothy!

The nice thing about older Guzzi's is that you can fit some more modern components on them.  The front-mounted alternator is probably the most difficult issue (in my opinion), but even that has a pretty simple solution to retrofit a Fields type generator.  This one is front and rear discs.
Not much you can do about the weight, though.  They heavy.

I think it was Perazzimix who said it, that Nevada is a $1200 bike in VA.  If you can find one.

Deal fell through.....how convenient? Seller trying to whip a buyer into a frenzy that isn't there.

Maybe Guzzi Steve would sell one of his v 700 s,right size and surprisingly good brakes and handling,but not cheap.

Yes, I'd sell that one. Looks like just an old bike but very reliable.

Be patient. There will be a new California, probably with a V100 engine.

Deal fell through. The seller is now offering it to me at $3450, which is still too high, I think.

In fact, he'd have to come down well below $3K, since I've pretty much moved on mentally. It's funny how you can pretty gung-ho about a bike, then do a little more reading/learning, and decide it's not quite right.

...the seller of the Nevada got a deposit on the bike...
The buyer's scheduled to come back up from SC today and finalize the deal.

I think the closest thing to a modern Loop is probably the Indian Scout series.

Very interesting. I hadn't thought of them and will take a closer look. 

At first blush, I think "expensive."
