It won't matter if you're building a trike out of it will it? If you're going to troll at least make the effort to get one or two of your ducks in a row.

Yes it will matter. A trike needs a clutch just as much as a motorcycle needs one.

What's with the trolling accusation ?

As millions of Milwaukee machines attest, chrome isn't soul.   :tongue: :laugh:

OTOH, as the owner of an EV, tho, a Mandellan tart if there ever was one, I suppose I shouldn't throw stones. 

Still, there are lots of sorts of souls out there, and all of my Guzzi's have had those, and the Norge -- cursed tupperware notwithstanding -- in some respects most of all.   :bow:

The Norge is a stupendous machine that makes me grin whenever I ride it, even when Kathi is pounding my back and telling me not to be stoooopid.   :thewife: :grin:

I've always liked the Titanium; nice choice.

P.S.  Off in a few minutes on the Griso -- now, there's some soul!  :huh: -- to Pennsylvania back roads on the way to visit John Wells and ML in Hollidaysburg later today.  Naturally, I suspect some biscuits & gravy will distract me before I get very far up the road.   :food:

To be honest it would not be my first choice if it were not for the low mileage and exceptional condition. I bought it for the engine and drive system and will sell the rest of it.

Holy crap crap crap... This reminds me of the Buell S3T I bought on a whim a few years ago

Shit I'm glad i didn't see this earlier cause I'd be tempted.

I'd probably strip it and make a psuedo Breva for that dosh.

Hopefully it sold today and I can forget about it.

Chatting with the shop owner a few minutes ago. . . it's still there.

Very good prices, and it's not even the dead of winter!

Here in Southeast Pennsylvania, they are the only Moto Guzzi Dealer, AFAIK. Word on the street, is that Fast by Ferracci no longer carries Moto Guzzi.

Doesn't surprise me that they dropped the line.  You have to work with multi-lines to stay in business with MG.

  FBF has Ducati, MV Agusta, EBR and until lately, MG. Looks pretty Multi line to me.

  My guess is that Eraldo and the hacks at Piagio had some personality conflicts.

Ok, having slept on it, I'm not going to jump on another bike I don't really WANT just because of price.

As for for FBF, I'm shocked they're still in business.

Multi-line as in also carrying a Japanese brand with maybe another Euro brand or maybe I should have said multi-brand.

Less than 50 thousand  for less than $3000.00 what's not to like about this bike. It's even in the faster Red color. If I had a week I think I'd be on a plane tomorrow to drive it back to Mn, it would look wonderful sitting next to my 07 Silver Norge. I'd probably have to retire just so I could have time to ride them.
I hope somebody gives this a nice home.

Looks like I better start double monthly payments on my Norge as it will most likely be sold in the spring of 2018/ 19. I'm going to take a bath, a big bath come time to sell.
