This is one active forums! Thanks for all the great advice! I will definitely let you all know when and were these get listed to sell. I won't have any more information until next week. I'm going to get more details and figure out what all she has.

This is kinda fun, it's like a treasure hunt. :)

Thanks again,
Dave

Not only that, tho we do tend to disagree from time to time, most of us know what we are talking about. ;-T :BEER:

Last years Bonhams Las Vegas Auction - Lot Number 383 - 1976 Moto Guzzi Lemans - Ice Blue - 114 original miles - SOLD for $21,850.00

http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/21389/lot/383/

I bet that if the 74 Sport was entered into one of the big three Las Vegas auctions this coming January it will fetch $20 ~ $24K.

What are the seller's fees and the buyer's fees at one of those auctions?

canuck750 · « **Reply #39 on:** December 11, 2014, 06:40:08 PM »

Mid America charges 7% to the buyer if purchased on-site, (9% for on-line sales).

There is a huge selection of other small displacement Italian motorcycles from several manufacturers.

Most of the time I see 8-10% on each end with a $250.00 minimum.

I sort of agree with that last post. a v7 sport has lots of respective buyers no matter the condition or mileage. I think one with 0 miles is a very very rare bike, and I think if +shes not desperate to cash it+ in she can ask moon money for it, and I think it will eventualy sell, even if she has to move closer to earth for a solid buyer. I agree with other posts that to be a reliable rider it will take time and money, but theres probly no others except in the guzzi museum with those miles. I bought a very low mile wire wheel 3 1/2 morini 76 sport years ago, got disheartened a few times with what it cost me to me to get it to a rideable reliable state, but kept at it. my advice would be to advertise it world wide for a huge price, not auction, and see what sort of offers she gets.

ive+ got a mate that parted out two brand new 850ts not all that many years ago, I wouldn't do that with a v7sport tho. also got a mate that got offered 120,000nz for his unrestored but tidy Vincent black shadow and turned it down. the worlds your oyster when you've got a sort after classic

I agree 100%. That Sport WILL bring $20K +. Doubt it will ever get ridden with zero miles on the clock, that thing belongs in a museum.

Auction it, and leave the dust on it! What a cool find.

OK I'll Bite, At least give the State you are from so if they are put up for sell folks will have a idea if they can swing it or not.

mtiberio · « **Reply #46 on:** December 12, 2014, 07:33:55 AM »

I would like to buy the whole lot. How do I do that?

Groover · « **Reply #47 on:** December 12, 2014, 08:00:50 AM »

Once this is all set and done and locked-down, let us know a little about the dealer/husband whom passed. In a Moto Guzzi way, he obviously had good taste in bikes and he shared the same interest with everyone else here. This is a bit of a historical event as far as I see it, that most here whom have read this thread are always going to remember.

^ That's the nice guy in me...

On the other hand, I noticed that the G5 has been heavily tampered with (grips are not original :P) and is pretty much scrap metal at this point and you should somehow get that to me... plus any spare parts that may also be left from the dealership. I will pick them up too so nobody but me has to do any physical work and/or get their pretty hands dirty.

I love the humor on this site, you guys are fun!

The bikes are in northern Indiana. I'm reaching out to a couple people from this site, looking to sell the whole lot at once. I just want to find the right person that has the insight to do what is right for these bikes, and has the resources to make it happen.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #49 on:** December 12, 2014, 10:20:41 AM »

Northern Indiana, huh? There used to be a Guzzi/Ducati dealer just south of Ft. Wayne, but I'd be surprised if he would have just sat on those bikes so long.

I would also be interested in the entire lot or individual specimens as well. Also willing to split the lot with a WG member. If we split I rather not tangle with the Sport. Already have 850 Tonti's.

who ever gets the lot, put me on the list for the Police bike (hoping it's a Convert) .. I can drive to Indiana anytime..

Darn Bikes were in my backyard and never even knew how to find them. I would like the G5 as well. That's probably the only one I could afford. Although I could probably scrounge up an investor to buy the whole lot. Did I mention I live in Northern Indiana.. :-)

Why is the girl that's sitting on the front fender holding a jacket in front of her? She probably needs to repeat a course or two in modeling school.
