When the guzzi dealer went under here last year, he was selling off new Cali sport specials at 7 grand. He even had some on ebay. They really need to clean house. Maybe Vespa - Piaggo will buy them, They seem to be knowing what to do. They have been out of the US for years and in there first 2 years back, they are a hit or at least in the Tampa bay area. I see more Vespa's than the cheep junk Chinese scooters. Of course their dealers look more like a Macy's showroom than a bike shop but maybe that's what it takes
