This bike is a cherry. Not a scratch, scuff, or blemish on it. The previous owner bought it new and hardly rode it.
I bought it was $7500.
The last fluid change was in 2023. It has the original tires on it. So I trailered it home. I'm going to do a full-fluid change and put new rubber on it before I even think of putting it on the road.
I saw this bike pop on Facebook marketplace. I wasn't even in the market for a Moto Guzzi, but I fell in love with the look of the bike.
It's a 2016 Eldorado. Near-as-makes no difference 50,000 miles on the odometer.
Bike is fair cosmetically. Melted soft grip from the heated grips. Exhaust chrome is slightly discolored where the gas leaves the engine block. The LCD screen is faded, scratched, and could use some love. One of the mirrors won't stay screwed in and needs to be replaced.
The bike appears to be fine mechanically. I took it on an extended test drive. No dashboard lights, pulls like a freight train, no weird engine noises. (The only light I saw was the traction control light flash at me as I did a spirited take off from a stop sign on a cobblestone street.) The current owner has only had it for six months, but has all of the mantience records from the original owner.
Price is $4750 US. Which appears to be more than a reasonable price..
So would I be nuts for buying this bike? I admit that I fell in love with the looks and the ride. BUT, I don't want to buy a constant source of headaches and gremlins. I don't expect Honda reliability from a hand-built Italian motorcycle, but I don't want a money pit either.
