Picked it up in Omaha this afternoon at an independent shop.



Clean, low mileage 2004 Cal EVT-II.  Harper's outsider, AGM battery, and some other nice touches.

It has a MGNOC sticker, so the PO may be around here on WG.

There is for sure something special about a cali 1100 tonti frame Moto guzzi!  I’d love to have one of each model ever made!

They look good to go far & sweet. Should do you well. Nice & quiet running. I'm used to the racket, but Guzzi made a mistake by stopping the production of that motor. Just think if the Norge or Breva had hydro valves. Go & go & just change oil.

Very Nice and very complete !

The matching factory windscreen, toe deflectors, and side cases add a lot of value for sure.  I also have an '04 EV in Vintage Red (Marilyn Merlot), and it's my current favorite bike.  The hydro motor, tubeless rims, good engine paint, and good ECU are all nice features.  Long may she run !  No doubt you are aware of the triple tree recall and single plate clutch issue.  Didn't you have one of these years ago ?

So here's the story?.....been gone from here awhile and missed it. 

We'll have to get MD and some of the other gang for lunch before the weather gets too cold.  I got the EV back.  It's got a few scrapes but looks good except for the left pedal trim ($160!) and windshield.
