This from WildGuzzi about a bike for sale.

I did not see this posted here, so I thought it might be of interest.

Does he just simply remember that number 17 was stolen?

But he does not remember the owner?

Perhaps someone should start a stolen guzzi registry?????

I guess I should post the follow-up here, too.

 

Way back when the MGCL Guzzi list was about the only Guzzi Internet list (just after it broke away from the EuroBike list), #17 was reported as stolen. Later #18 was reported as stolen, but recovered. I think what happened is that the original posting was just in error.

 

In any event, I've communicated with the seller of #17 (and #11) and there's no question but that everything is good about that bike--both the bike and the bike's paper.

 

Whenever I come across a Daytona S/N, I take note of the unit and the owner, but I really don't have much to show for that effort. The highest S/N I have accounted for is #50, which may or may not mean anything. I'm aware, too, that Guzzi had a different series of S/Ns for the two-seater version (why?) as well as for versions sold in the U.S. So, sorting out all the numbers could get tricky. The Daytona 100 was only sold as a 1993 model in the U.S. and some were bought for storage, never to be ridden again (sigh...).

 

mine--which does get ridden.
