I would have thought 90 degrees was closer to the mark.

The prices weren't the issue. This dealership chain of three stores makes up for the low prices with additional fees. I "paid" $6,995 for my left over 2019 Special.

Assigning the task to someone who doesn't know bikes, and no one cares enough to proofread before sending to the world or populating a website.  Really makes me question doing business with a company that sloppy.

Looks more like a so called salesman changed an Aprilia V4 ad to match a Guzzi by changing a few things he doesn't know about.  Hey, maybe like the new one in IL where they told an old customer they get training on utube.

First time I’ve also seen an MG dealer promote an even smaller HP than the bike’s already-tiny total (compared to today’s liquid-cooled bikes). Their claimed 60 hp is probably closer to the bike’s actual RWHP versus the oft-marketed 65 hp.

And for dog’s sake, check that spelling. What’s a “guage?”

the write up is wrong, the prices seem ballpark considering they're leftover bikes.  I've seen new Honda's marked down 40%
