I don't see it as being worth that much, not as a motorcycle. But I think they are looking to sell it as a museum piece more so then as a motorcycle. I don't buy museum pieces, I prefer motorcycles. I will say I remember being pretty impressed by the fit and finish of the RC30 when it was new. But for that money I would buy an MGS01. It is a much rarer bike, better looking, and cooler. https://seattleusedbikes.com/motorcycle/2004-moto-guzzi-mgs-01-corsa [docc copied/pasted Image Link] 4
p6x Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 The VFR750R is an icon in its own right; but it lacks the panache of certain bikes playing in that same category. I agree with the rest of you that a rare Guzzi would be much more pleasing to own.... and ride! The general consensus of people on this forum, is they want to ride their motorcycle, not simply look at them. 2

HRC_V4 Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 Already have one, they are special motorcycles, these are racing motorcycle with lights and mirrors, not production bikes made to go fast. First gear is so tall, but the rest of them are so close. Still ride mine from time to time, but with values going up, just one more thing in the back of my mind during the ride. I did spend a day at Barber on mine, I did the Class motorcycle school the first year Barber opened. The bike was more at home on the track than I was, but still a fun day, even getting passed by Reg while he was two up. I do miss my Greenie... 2 1

The red "thing" in the garage is so blurry, but looks Italian. Alfetta?

Speedfrog Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Yes, fun memories with that car… Then I finally had to scrap it when the fuel tank developed leaks due to rust… Enjoy your GTV! 1
docc Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 All good fun until another wee red corner of a fender butts in at the bottom left . . . Even this guy's Green Egg is red! 1
HRC_V4 Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Just another Alfa. ALFA = Always Looking For Another, but I feel the same way about Guzzi's. 1
