A few days ago the Buy it now price was 14 k

A good reason why not to buy a new moto guzzi unless you are planning to be buried with it. LOL

I remember buying my Daytona here in the UK, around 94

I cannot remember the price, but around 10k springs to mind GBP not USD

6 months later Guzzi dropped the price by around 1.5k

Talk about sick as a sea going parrot

I really like that bike.  Is there anything for the pillion? I'd need something comfy before I'd even think about asking the wife.  Trunk?

Now that's funny. Have you contributed to the "owners of multiple bikes of same models" thread?

Seriously, those close-out deals make everybody take a huge hit on resale value too. And it can become self-perpetuating. The savvy buyers will wait for closeouts and not pay "premiums" (aka sticker price).

I had one of the first California 1400 Touring's in white. I had it for a year. I put 15000 miles on it. I crashed it. I paid $18000. I sold it for $11000 with some lingering cosmetic crash damage. YMMV

EBay sales of new bikes at discount prices is not exclusive to Moto Guzzi.  I have been tempted by bikes at 40% off.  A good deal if you later trade them in on a different brand that didn't know they were discounted when you bought it.
