Guzzi Disaster

Recommended Posts

Very strong rummors coming out of Italy, Guzzi have crushed thier existing spares stock for vee twins from concept up until the V11. This was just like Ducati a few years ago. These marketing guys only wish to sell new bikes, they just don't realise it's us guys that have kept them going through thick and thin, in Guzzi's case it's always been thin. Even when they sell us crap we are still happy. Come on Guzzi lets talk. Your buyer's could have designed a better classic cali than the design department has managed, hats off to the Norge if it is up to the build quality, but after buying a new Guzzi I doubt it. :(

I suspect this is just a vile rumour. Even if Piaggio wanted to create space at the factory, they'd just find a distributor who wanted to buy the parts at a discount; that would still bring more than selling them for scrap!

 

Don't go getting your throttle in a twist just 'cause somebody has figured out how to punch a lot of peoples' buttons all at once...

:mg:

Doubt it. Look what happened to Laverda. After Laverda broke its neck and was bought by Aprilia, the spares stock was sold complete to another italian company (3cmoto.it), and now spares availability for the Zane Laverdas, which died in 2000, is WAY BETTER than Moto Guzzis. I think this is the way they do it. Italians like their classics, not much is wasted.

 

No sweat, enjoy your beer...and all that.... :bike:

So mr macguzzi, what sources do you have for this news?

That a new owner cleans out old stock isn't new, Aprilia did this when they got guzzi and Teo Lamers got all of it. A lot of that was from the small bikes, and also a lot of unfinished products.

A lot of things used in a guzzi aren't made in the factory, so they will still be avaiable if there is a demand. Further the parts prices from guzzi make that used parts get interesting. So used bikes are sold in parts and at that moment guzzi doesn't sell parts anyway. So why would they keep all the stock?
