Looks to me that the dealer in Oakdale has a Coppa priced at 16K, and he's gigging him a little..
Yep, Oakdale NY. Formerly/currently? a Guzzi dealer they had some leftover bikes with insane prices. I knew a kid who worked there and he said that the basement is full of NOS parts that they can't be bothered to catalog and sell. Their core business is selling sportbikes to newbies but they always have ads on Craigslist for used bikes including Guzzis. This is an actual ad, not a rejected SNL skit:
2002 MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA SPECIAL SPORT $6,649
