Title: Who Needs a 1998 EV?
Post by: JoeW on September 14, 2015, 08:43:38 PM: I just grabbed a very pretty 98 EV off of Craigslist. It has 20,000 miles on it and is basically stock. It has highway pegs on it. I'll post pictures in classifieds tomorrow. I've just done a preliminary inspection, oils, lights, tires... and rode it home 12 miles. It's a beautiful two tone blue with tubeless tires. I'm asking 3500.00 for it. I'll do a more thorough inspection tomorrow but, I just want to put it out there.

Are you a dealer? Why are you selling it?

I am not a dealer but, I run a small motorcycle repair shop. I specialize in Moto Guzzi restoration. You can see my work at www.theguzzidoctor. com
Part of my business is buying and selling bikes and also selling bikes on consignment, I currently have 2 bikes on ebay...

This EV has been sitting, The bike runs great but, in my 25 mile ride home and back, I see the fork seals are leaking, I will replace those and also perform a general service.
Here's a picture of it...

It's very clean, no corrosion or oxidation anywhere, so far all I can see is very small chips in the paint on the front fender and on the edge of the rear. Looking at this picture, I see a small dent in the muffler too. The Metzler tires are in good shape but, the front is from 02 and the rear is from 04. I'll post it in classifieds once it's ready yo go. Oh, also the needles on the gauges are faded. Unless someone here wants to make an off for it as is!
