I saw one at the MPS Show in January. Odd looking things, but kind of cool looking in a fugley, historical sort of way.

I was looking to see what that might be worth and found one for sale on ebay a few miles from my house: http://tinyurl.com/qy8ptds

If anyone is interested. I would be willing to go test it for you and so fourth.

The one in the auction might go cheap, given that it's a holiday weekend auction in a rural area. Nice to see the one on eBad kind of set a "ceiling", there's some folks on the interwebs that think these thing are worth 5 digit prices. Hopefully somone that appreciates the bike will be high bidder, I may ride up to the auction in case nobody responsible bids on it, but I've got $600 to make it 'til the end of the month, so my limit is pretty low... So somebody here buy it so I don't have to!

What did it go for?? Will you be riding it to the WI Guzzi Rally??

Didn't 3 or 4 people ride these bikes in the 2009 IBA rally?

The auction dragged on forever and the bike was missing the air cleaaner amidst other problems, so I left hours before it got auctioned off. One guy who seemed knowledgable sounded like he'd go up to $200. But the chubby guy who was paying a lot of attention to the bike probably got it. Details on my blog at http://www.gearheadgrrrl.com
