« on: January 02, 2017, 01:01:10 PM »
Someone buy this otherwise I might make this into a bobber or chopper. I'm thinking ape hangers,springer front-end,king queen seat and a trident sissy bar.
$4,500

I recently purchased a Breva 750, have a hankering for a Norge. If it's available after I sell the NC 700X, I may have to take a ride to "investigate" :bike-037:

Very nice looking bike!

Although I hope you are successful selling it, it wouldn't break my heart if it was still available after the Honda is sold!

Damn thing should nearly sell itself. Dunno why every man and his dog wants 8 valves, just buy two '09 bikes! Although that being said, I've never ridden an 8V, (perhaps best I don't). I recently had a Beetle map installed by Roper and I  asked if he wanted to ride my bike to feel it, he declined and said "it's your bike, you know it better", truth be told I would have liked to have ridden the Roper Griso, but maybe I woulda' then felt dissatisfied with the "old" Red '07. He could probably do a lap of his kitchen table on mine and "know" it better than I do. Dear old thing though, I was quietly proud how it aquitted itself against the Green Griso in a straight line belting, honours shared up to 160 k's. Above that, we all know what happened, at 190-200, I had no answers.

The nicest thing about owning a 2V Norge is....you don't actually NEED another bike.

You may WANT them...but you don't NEED them... :thumb:

Yeah mate, I'm constantly told how much power the 8's have. Actually even they'd feel like a bucket of porridge compared to a Suzuki b king, Hyabusa or similar. I just care these days how mine goes about burning it's fuel. It'll pass anything I want, sucks fuel @ 4.8 l/100 k's @100kph, Roper's molested the guts out of it, wedged a Beetle map under the seat somewhere, and looks great, (the bike that is, not Roper, although in the right light....) Bugger anything else...

I think your FIRM price is what scare a potential buyer ... maybe a " slightly negotiable" will sound better.
In the end it is winter , you need to find a guzzi guy in your area that really want a norge and pay your firm price . ( like winning the lottery )

good luck , and please post pictures of the bobber/chopper with apes and king and queen seat . :azn:

I was one gear at least higher than you when you decided to turn up the wick. :grin: took me a few seconds to wake up. You also weigh probably 30kg less than me so it wasn't really a *Fair* comparison.

Seriously Pete, I'm pretty sure the first time was in top, but I can't be completely sure, I was too busy staring at the beaut numbers on the l/100k display and wondering why there was no ping...

It's either FIRM at rock bottom price with no hassle or haggle,  OR

$5,200 "negotiable", OBO, ...

I'd rather deal with the former as a buyer or seller, especially with this crowd.  Christ, there's another thread where a guy wants us to GIVE him parts so he can build a motorcycle.
