Mike Stewart Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 http://www.craigslist.org/sby/mcy/65080858.html Humm, the price is right and I need a bike to do a track day coming up. I think the G B could fit the bill. Anyone want to buy the V11 Sport for $7000 and I will pay the remainder of $8000 for the GB Or, I should buy both of them and put the V11 Sport engine into the G B Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 PSH it says right on that site the V11 is 5k and the GB is 12K your math is a little fuzzy. <_>Sounds like a good buy for someone on the market for them tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebulon Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 It is a good price for the supertwin with such few miles even if it is one of the really first produced : small airbox frame- black engine (we arealdy speak a lot about the painting problems) . But when you know new price if you have money just go (and with the actual poor $ conversion i think the new price should have rise a lot) In Europe between 17 & 19 000 EUR depending of the release (ohlins or not, folgore options) so if you count the $ conversion it is around 21500 & 23750 US $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikkanen Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 If I had the dough I wouln't hesitate buying them both. That's a real bargain. Søren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Corsa Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Price sounds like a bargain to me. If I was in the US I would buy the GB , and the GB is a good one for this price even as sold sepperate. But getting this over here in Europe will cost as much if not more than a new GB..damn!..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 t)In Europe between 17 & 19 000 EUR depending of the release (ohlins or not, folgore options) 46945[/snapback] The current UK dealer Motori Di Marino is trying to sell new Supertwins (basic model) for £14500 which equates to 20880 euros. I think it may be cheaper to hop on a ferry to Europe and but one over there. I wonder how much the factory charges if you buy a bike directly from them? I just love the Folgore in black with gold OZ wheels and Ohlins. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsp Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 maybe it's just my nature but I'd bet a Wendy's bowl of chilli that something's wrong here! It would be worth checking it out in person though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Corsa Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I have seen a Silver GB last year in Germ. ebay appearing there,a couple of times, for about 12K Euro but none got it.(New in Condition -no miles) Sometimes offers appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBinMPLS Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yep, human bits in meaty soup, sold in millions of cups = cha-ching, NATIONAL NEWS! Great deal on the bikes, looks like a speculative investment opportunity with some fun to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertwin1 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Ya' wanna know why it's too good to be true? Because it probably is....this Supertwin is in California and was sold by Britalia motors which means it has a "pink" tag which is not I repeat, NOT street legal for California. This is not mentioned in the ad but I bet a phone call would clear that up! It's called "race only". The only street legal Supertwins were sold by the importer, here in Texas due to Texas DOT laws(we can get around anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 A few guys here have made them street legal I've heard, but I don't know the details *shrug* Question: If it was sold in the South Bay, wouldn't it have been sold new by someone like Moto Italiano(who had a SuperTwin for a while), the Moto Guzzi dealer, as opposed to Britalia in Santa Cruz, who before MI bought them about a year ago, were not a MG dealer?? I understand G&B are not MG, but.... al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
