HA! I was trying to buy I think a 2019 in AZ, but the guy dragged it out for months and when I told him I was on my way with cash in hand, he said he just couldn't sell it. I had to go all the way to Rhode Island to get one.

Good morning everyone, it's not how I bought it but it's still the Audace Carbon 2019

Fun, thanks for posting! I’ve done two like that. One was Greg Lynn, which you should know related to Mandello. Below is for another big hitter in the footwear industry. Then there’s my GTM CUSTOMS.
Hi. Thank you. The VIN on the California 1400 which I sold to a buyer in Des Moines WA is ZGULVC008EM112333
Also including a photo of the original invoice for the purchase which was signed by the Legend Dave Richardson himself.
After 7 years and enjoying 9k mi I listed my 1400 for sale mainly because I felt it was too heavy to maneuver in our small garage that got a permanent car parked in it when our son went to college. So with that limited space it was tough to back it in, and I realized it had been a very heavy machine all along.
Put new tires on it, changed engine oil, final drive oil, gearbox oil was still fresh, then listed it for $8k and waited a month before dropping it to $7,200 and waiting another month then found a buyer. There are so few California's out there but it took patience. I think $7,200 was a good price which in turn helped me buy a 2021 V85tt.
Here is the last pic I took before delivering to the new buyer. I enjoyed this machine immensely, constantly got complements on it, and dragged the floorboards a few times too. Also including a photo of the original invoice for the purchase which was signed by the Legend Dave Richardson himself.

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.

For a lady with just over 100k km she looks amazing...

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

That's a purposeful looking Audace, like the luggage and seat. What did you trade in for?
