Is the tailpiece missing, or just not on when they took the picture? That would down grade the price to me. The titanium mufflers are expensive, and sound absolutely wonderful. They are extremely fragile, however. Dorcia can dent them with her boots. The high hangers like that are not particularly comfortable for the passenger, if that matters. The standard hangers will fit. The Ohlins suspension is first rate, and the bike handles much better than you might think. Injection/ignition is well sorted from the factory.
About the only issue is the stupid ITI speedo. Most failed early on, some keep on keeping on. Rosie got a case of the ethanol fuel warts on the tank. Some do, some don't, it seems.

Whoever buys it and whoever owns one, I would suggest trying to find someone who has a set of the decals sitting in a drawer because you never know. I never got around to it when I owned mine but it was on my list of must haves for that bike.

Word is they would do $6,500 without too much haggling.  Go see Rick in sales.

Only ONE of these in a sea of Road Kings....

Someone go for it before I pimp myself out on Craigslist for some extra cash (might take a while).

I would bet they would take 6.5K without much haggling. I bet this bike doesn't bring 5.5k. Once sold out of York PA last summer for about 4.5k.

Interstingly enough, I sold my Road King to make room for this one. And the speedo is broken. Lol.

Didn't Dave Despain ride this one to the National at New Cumberland WV? Seems like I remember talking to him there. I think he said Moto Guzzi America gave him the bike?

Once this one sells, we'll hear from AH Fan posting "Anyone know of a pristine, low mileage Rosso...."

IIRC, the $4,500 bike in York was Warren Wren's bike.   It no longer had the stock gauges, because (surprise) the speedo had failed.     It also had a lot more miles on it.

Looks a whole lot nicer in the flesh, saw it when I took the 1400T in for it's 6,000 service, yes very cold ride at 11 degrees when I left the house but much warming coming home with my new heated gear, Cam don't laugh.

Nor did I say this was a 4.5k bike. I'll will however bet the bike doesn't sell for more than 5.5k and it will take a while to sell at that.

Like most of the spines the guys who originally lusted after them now have the money to buy,  but now can't take the riding position. Younger folks don't want them because they don't make 2.7 quadrillion HP and what's a Moto Guzzi?

Stunning bike for sure but it caught in a weird place in time. To old to be modern. To new to be collectable and too oddball for 99.99% of the motorcycling public.

That's a pretty good two-line analysis and explanation for the used market in Moto Guzzis right there!

He was at New Cumberland, i enjoyed talking with him. For a moto head like me his voice was very familiar. I do not recall the way he acquired the bike. How would he rate a free bike?? who knows.

My understanding is Guzzi NA gave him a greenie to ride to (I think) the last Guzzi Days at Angiers. He liked it so much he bought it or one like it.

It's a beauty but the riding position is good for 2-hours max for my 64-year old body.
