Title: A new dealer? In Chicago. Top Gear Powersports
Post by: cappisj1 on June 13, 2022, 03:38:02 PM
I copied this from FB. 

Remember earlier in the year when we said we had some exciting stuff we were working on? Well, here it is: Top Gear Powersports is extremely honored and excited to add two of the most storied motorcycle brands in history to our dealership.

Moto Guzzi & Aprilia are well renowned for some of the finest and most interesting motorcycles to come out of Italy and we sure are looking forward to getting more of these bikes into the Chicago area.

We are in the very late stages of setting up our franchise are hoping to have inventory by months end. Over the next weeks we will posting some info on each model in the Aprilia and Moto Guzzi lineups to get everyone familiar with what these brands have to offer.

We also want to say a huge THANK YOU to our rep Brendon Coleman for working with us to make this happen. We will soon announce dates for an open house and test ride day, stay tuned and feel free to reach out with any inquiries!

Yup. https://throttlecompany.com/ (https://throttlecompany.com/)

I've yet to check them out, but they apparently went live with Guzzi last month.

From what I can tell, they started out as a vintage bike shop, then picked up Royal Enfield within the past few years, and now Guzzi.

They’ve recreated the red door of Mandello for pics of new owners with their bikes.

Agreed. They’re really working social media as well, walk around a of a TT with a gal checking cases and generally gushing over it etc

A friend whose opinion I respect has known the shop for a while and gushed about it, before this development.

Hopefully the V100 makes the decision a good one for both of these shops.
