Up for sale is a relatively rare motorcycle, a xxxx Moto Guzzi, and an even more rare model, the California Bassa V11, which was only offered in xxxx and xxxx. The bike sat in storage most of its life. I purchased it in December xxxx knowing that the engine had not run since xxxx. I parked it in my garage for another year. One year later I finally moved it unto the motorcycle lift and started working on it.
It fired right up for the 1st time in 8 years after,
> cleaning out and sealing the fuel tank,
> replacing the fuel lines,
> filters,
> pump,
> injectors,
> engine oil,
> all air & oil filters
> and the spark plugs.
Then I proceeded to restore and upgrade as the weeks and months went by, like
> replaced upper & lower forks with Vxxxx Jackal,
> replaced shocks with adjustable xxxx Kawasaki Nomad,
> replaced front blinkers with xxxx Kawasaki Nomad,
> replaced rear directional with 750 Kawasaki Vulcan,
> replaced mirrors with 750 Kawasaki Vulcan,
> factory exhaust with flow through glass packs,
> custom paint here and there like on the valve covers, etc.
Also during that time my health changed to where I cannot ride a motorcycle any longer. So reluctantly I am looking for a new owner for the Bassa. Hopefully someone who knows what a great motorcycle that those Italians at the Moto Guzzi plant know how to manufacture! The few times I did get to drive it, people would go out of their way to tell me what a very nice motorcycle that I had because it looks aharp and its not just another Harley or Honda! It's truly different!
Everything works as it should but there are several things still lacking that I just cannot get around to finish on the bike:
> The fuel tank needs finishing touches of paint up underneth at the edges - nothing major.
> It needs a new rectifier, which is mounted onto the frame and easy to get to - eBay has them for $80.
> I have a few spokes I ordered for the wheels where they broke in a couple of places (wheels do not have to be removed to install the spokes).
> The clutch slips under very hard acceleration, but is fine otherwise. But that would need to be fixed before any serious riding.
> Has a very small oil leak noticable after a ride - not enough to worry about damaging the engine, but annoying because it leaves a small oil spot where it is parked.
Sorta lost track of the time and money which I have put into it, but I am guestimating around $6,500. With its first exposure to the public, I am asking only $3,500.
