Took a bit but here's my 2015 Cali Custom.....Blu Zaffiro vin#ZGULVC019FM200141
Bought used @ Gateway in Mt. Sterling Kentucky

D.O.P.=Feb. 29, 2024. 8900 miles
Didn't find anything else from GTM on it unfortunately...... It did have the MG comfort-gel seat, backrest/rack, driving lights and leather bags when I got it. I've added the medium screen, heated grips and touring bars with a Garmin sat nav.
I do love that the wiring was already there for the accessories, and my bum knee loves the floorboards.

2016 Moto Guzzi Audace, VIN ZGULCU00GM200116.

Bought at PCH Powersports in Southern California. John Hoke (my brother-in-law) hired your shop in early 2018 to do the custom work on this Audace that he received as a gift from Piaggio Group in appreciation for serving on one of their boards. John was in the process of moving back to Portland from Boston at that time, and so had the finished bike shipped up here.

Sadly, though, the Audace never was titled or registered in Oregon. I've ridden it a handful of times (it's power and sound are astounding), but otherwise it has sat. I'm currently navigating the mess of DMV bureaucracy to get a title and registration in Oregon (CA title and registration were lost long ago), and then will sell the bike as-is. Considering its age (2016), mileage (currently 335 miles), and condition (essentially sitting for 7+ years), I'm struggling to research an appropriate price - or even price range. You know this particular bike very well - better than anyone - and so I'd be grateful for any thoughts or suggestions you have on the matter.

Picked up at (now long defunct) PCH Pwrsprts. 100% customized by me/GTM in Orange, CA.
In fact JUST posted about this bike on #664 above. Funny irony that it surfaced.

The bike was delivered to the PCH dealer. I personally picked it up and took it to my shop for the customization, a duplicate of my friend and Piaggio Architect Greg Lynn’s Audace (which I happen to have his bike in my shop right now as well). I never mentioned your B.I.L. John here, so thanks for doing so. He was a new rider at the time I believe, so I asked if it should be delivered to get stored. That didn’t happen.
The dealer went out of business a few years ago, so if the bike was never registered, that will be a tough one. Best to you with it.
Once the bike has been properly revived/serviced, a fair price would be $6500-7500 tops. It will take a special buyer. Hope that helps. Thanks again for the info and post here on it!

[MG_Zach]

Long time rider here who has been away for nearly 7 years. Previous bikes include a '99 Laverda 750S, '99 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100, and an '09 Aprilia RSV1000R. My Dad was a huge Guzzi fanatic and he passed his love of Italian machinery on to me. He passed this April after a long battle with cancer. I had been missing 2 wheeled life, but it just wasn't a high enough priority for me to look for a machine that moved me enough to buy. A few days ago I was just wasting time scrolling through Facebook marketplace when a '17 MGX-21 popped up. I wasn't real familiar with it so I clicked on the ad and read. It wasn't in bad shape, but is surely needed some TLC to get it back to where it should be. But the price was worth taking a gamble on. So I made the hour drive with my mechanic yesterday to check it out. And the deal wasn't too good to be true after all. I'm now the owner of that sexy carbon coated machine. Very happy to have found this forum and look forward to soaking up all the knowledge I can!

MrKiwi here (David), Lower Hutt, New Zealand.

2014 Moto Guzzi California Custom. VIN ZGULV0020EM112276. Purchased 4th July 2024.

This is my second California, I had previously owned a 2014 Tourer. My new to me 2014 Custom was first registered in Japan in 2017. Just over 6,300kms when I purchased it, I have since done about 1,000km on it. I purchased this as a damaged used import from Japan and I'm busy fixing and replacing parts (cosmetic damage).





I have reworked the seat to make it more comfortable for my wife to pillion on.



Installed hand guards too.

 

[MrKiwi]

I recently bought a used (Japanese imported) 2014 California Custom. It had been damaged, with cosmetic damage to the front crash bars, the pannier crash bars and foot pegs. I'm in the process of fixing these blemishes as well as making some changes to the bike, such as an aftermarket windscreen, hand guards and a reconfigured seat (used a local car upholsterer to do that). Pic below.

This is my 2016 Audace Carbon, painted in Italian flag colors.
Vin is ZGULCU006GM200005 I'm in Maryland, got the bike in NC
I've added some 3s since my post here last summer.

No sir, I am not Italian, dont be ridicolo...

I just painted my Audace in the Italian flag colors. I dont really like white so just did a 2" racing stripe. I like the sound of the Supertrapps vs the Mistrals that were on it. Gonna put my signature 3s on it as well.

VIN# ZGULCUB04LM000179
Just purchased this beautiful bike from State 8 Motorcycles in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. It was previously owned and listed here by the previous owner. I managed to track down the previous owner who graciously answered some questions I had about the bike and even sold me (at a very fair price) the original mufflers that were removed when he installed the Mistrals. Currently I am arranging shipping from Ohio to my local area. Hope to be riding it soon.

Congrats and welcome to the GT Forum & Guzzi Famiglia. Glad to see the Registry working as hoped for future owners. Enjoy the site.

I purchased this beauty last year. Right before I took possession of the bike I broke my collar bone
and had to wait many months before doc said I could lift more than a coffee cup. Then some other
issues happened and net result has been almost no time on the bike. But looking forward to some
seat time later this year. I started a thread yesterday with some pics but can't find why the thread
doesn't show up. I was kind of curious what you all though about blue anodize for the valve covers?
Anyway, I just relocated the license plate. The lighting turned out a bit different than I envisioned.
I might remake the it with the lights a bit taller so they shine more down on the license plate vs across
the license plate. Anyway, I curious on the feed back of some blue items on the bike.

Glad you've healed up. Blue valve covers look great. Mine are powder coated. I've been running them for about 7 years now. Good luck.

Would look good if you remove the paint to reveal polished metal along the top of the cooling fins on the valve cover, no matter what color you go with. That's my .02

Fine looking bike - just like mine! Congratulations on acquiring a mechanical modern piece of art! I'm hoping to recover mine from the depths of the garage this weekend now the New Hampshire snow is melting. The battery has been on a tender since November, so hopefully in good health, just need to find some riding gear, pump up the tires and another riding season will be under way

I've seen that look and the detail looks cool. I think I'm going to leave it solid blue though.

Thanks, have fun this weekend. I'm on an undetermined time out from riding right now. Right after my shoulder healed up we started having some health issues with my wife and we decided that I need to hold off on riding until we get her sorted out. If someone on the road does something stupid and I go down we're in deep sh*t. So for now it's just an art piece in the garage. I have to take it up to Todd's for a once over but I'll do that via trailer.
