Happy to answer any questions about it on here or over the phone

Well let me tell you first hand. I took Guzzi on as my first line 5 years ago during the hydro valve models at the time I think they need anyone they could get to sell their products. Because all I had was an accessory store and some repairs. I personally love my guzzi's I own 3 personally and choose them over anyother brand if I were to buy another. When I Got started late 2002 the requirements was 10 bikes & $7,000 in parts plus the special guzzi tool kit & Sign. I Still have one of those very first 2003 bikes so don't think you can sell 10 bikes very easily. You might get lucky and they move quick but in your first year or two don't expect it. Then came the axone 2000 computer. All told the special tools & signs cost about $4,000. You will also have to establish a floor plan with GE which in 2002 was $150,000 which if you don't have that lying around you will have to put up at lest 50% in your assets like your home and or Money. I believe that the new requirements are that you have to take 15 bikes plus tools, signs, & a $400,000 floor plan. They don't want any small shops they want you to have another major line or to take another Piaggio product. I have thought many times of calling it quits but I just personally love being here & dealing with the people who own & buy guzzi's. I am a small shop 1,800 square feet total I do the sales, service, & the parts all in one I own the building with no mortgage and I think that is the only way I have survied by being a Guzzi only shop. I now currently sell Ural's as well and that has been a welcome addition When a Guzzi dealer drops guzzi it usually isn't because He can't sell the bikes It is usually the way they are treated or should I say mistreated by the management at piaggio or who ever owns them at the time. If you do decide to take them on I wish you luck and it helps if you are an enthusiast driven and not going it to it thinking you are going to make money. It took me 8 years in business before I made a profit and it is still a struggle from time to time.
