While in college in the 70s, I saw the version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson (RIP).  No one ever questioned Barbra's singing talent which is prodigious, but her looks were subjective for sure with many finding her sexy and others not so much.  Yes, I realize this makes me sound like a dinosaur, but we young fellers cared about such things in those days.  Not like your sophisticated, suave and evolved males of today who never even think about a woman's looks. (that's a joke folks)

Thanks, I will look into this.  Maybe Monza is the way to go as I don't want them so upswept that I have to make an ugly mount for them.  Going to go for black I think.

Less than 2.5k km from new?  How is that possible and why?  I drove more in the first week after buying the bike in July   :laugh:.

As noted, yes, nice find. FWIW, years back Stucchi supplied a repop bezel in black, for the V50III, (maybe V50/II as well, need to check the part number sticker still on it), that they said also was suitable for the Euro 850 LeMans piece. I have never gotten around to try it out. Also I've got an 850 T3 FB with a black short bezel unlike the Elephant nose. It's got me to thinking that might be a possible bolt on replacement. Again, FWIW.

You might have to shim Monza cans to fit. Many years back, when I wanted cans for a V50, I was sent same for a V50 III, with collar shims, as the V50/II had smaller diameter pipes than the III and the Monza. Long time ago, could be wrong. But probably your best bet, worth investigating. There isn't going to be much of anything else off the shelf for what you are trying to do. Otherwise, custom made.

I believe I know which dealer you are mentioning. Check their additional fees, they are pretty good at making up the difference from the reduced price. The finance/closer messed up the paperwork on my Audace so badly that it took three months to get the registration finished but I would guess he is long gone.

Thanks for the excellent tour, I enjoyed every bit. It amazes me how neat, clean and sparkly everything is especially without advertising plastered all over everything. The scenery is beyond belief. I wish the roads in California were half as nice. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

Thanks for this great post! I'm curious if you had an option for a 23 V100 Aviazione Navale as well as the 24? There is a new 23 nearby me that is being offered at 12,995, which seems like a good value. I'm trying to determine if there are any major difference between the 23 and 24. (I haven't read of any significant design changes.) I don't think the dealer sells many MG's so it's been sitting for a while.

Also, your riding video was great! Any chance you could do a video walkaround showing your mods? I'm especially interested in seeing the head guards that you installed from different angles.

Thanks again!

$13K is a great price for a "new" Aviazione Navale.  I'm not sure if there are any significant changes between a '23 and '24, other than the '23 being the first year the V100 was offered, so possible teething problems associated with being the first?  I don't have a walk-around video of my V100, I'll have to take one.  I'll post a few pics that show the head guards, and maybe a couple of others...

Sounds like success to me, congrats. Must be nice bike w/low miles. In turning more than 1/2 turn or so on big end I have had the idle increase a bit unless it was way off from factory. That does happen, that's why you have 1st service. Dealer can catch if it wasn't done on set-up.
Just reread which way you went, out is better than in w/adj, in too much moves the plate where you get increased idle.
