If Moto Guzzi makes V9 racer, are you going to ditch your V7 for it?

[jas67]

I've been trying to "ditch" mine for the last 8 or 9 months.

The market is soft for selling motorcycles, new or used.   If you really want it gone, you're going to have to lower the price.

Next your going to tell me the sky is blue.

I got no dog in this hunt, except that to observe that this comment means YOU already know what Jay is saying is true.

Therefore you already know it's priced too high for the market.

Therefore you haven't REALLY been trying to "ditch it". At least for part of that 8 or 9 months.

Yes?

Nope on a V9R due to geometry.  Given that, I would love to test the new Thruxton R.

And here all the while I was wonder why my bike wasn't selling. I thought it was location. As they say location is everything. Now that you have confirmed what Jay was saying I am starting to think maybe the price is too high for a rapid sale

Next your going to tell me to put the bike back to stock and sell off the farkles separately to maximize my ROI

My realtor used to have a phrase that went like this:

"Is your house for sale or do you want to sell your house?"

Nice bikes priced right sell.

You don't really want to sell it, or, the Eldo, or the T3, or the RE.

So advertising it is just some ploy to keep the wife off your back, check.

I've been musing about buying a used V7 Stone if a good deal popped up, but all I see are people are advertising their '14 Stones with 3,000 miles for $7.5K.  This is while dealers are selling new leftover Stones for $7K.  I personally wouldn't go back to a 2 TB V7, but even those are priced too high, IMO.

The Buffalo dealer had a new 15 Stone in Red for 6995.

Don't forget about the 850T and the Convert.

RE sold 3 weeks ago. I rode it around for 957 miles and lost $100 on the total investment. Not too bad.

Yep that's it. Damned guy that bought my Royal Enfield at close to my asking price nearly screwed up the whole scheme.

So you didn't like the RE, check.

Quite the opposite. I loved the RE but I didn't buy it with the intent on keeping it. It was a great opportunity to get some inexpensive miles on the brand and move it along to its next keeper.

Excellent!   Cheap bike rental.  That is a nice way to get an extended test ride.

Sunday update. Actually got $1 more than I listed it for

Congrats.     Too bad that was the one that was a keeper.
