Just got a notice that Eurosports (Coopersburg, PA) is going to be closing soon. No definite date, but definitely closing.

I live in the area. Been to the dealership a few times.
Was looking to pick up my first Guzzi. They were selling V7 III Stones for $5992. I got over there one Saturday to find out they both sold that morning. Bummer...
I'm now looking at a Stornello at West Chester Moto Guzzi. They have 3 there.
Still undecided on whether I want to deal with the fueling problems with the VII or take the additional power/more vanilla looks of the VIII Stone. They also have a VIII Rough, Milano, Carbon and Special (i think?). Pricing is all around the same.
What do you guys think?
Either way, the Stornello appeals to me the most. It just looks gorgeous.
As for the Coopersburg dealer, stopped in on Friday on way back from NYC. Not sure to whom I spoke, but what a nice guy.
Have to say that I was surprised that he did not trash Piaggio, and, indeed, was positive about them, particularly with "truthfulness" about parts availability, which he also said was quite good compared to some other brands.
We commiserated a bit on the reality of the moto market and I went on.
As for the "which Guzzi" issue, well, we are all different, but I am remain smitten by my Stornello. Having said that, I am probably going to buy my brother's V7III Special, too. Despite what others have -- possibly more accurately than my own saddle dyno -- I did not fin much real world differences between my II and his III.
My brother doesn't like the Special, but he has a Duc M/S 1200S and is spoiled by its power.

P.S. Allmotive, if I don't buy it, and you have any interest in my brother's (blue) Special, email me at wrhagan AT earthlink DOT net. I want it, but have contractors swarming my house just now doing renovation$, so I may pass.
Thanks for the advice and offer Bill! I'm not necessarily interested in the Special at this time.
I'm pretty set on the Stornello or Rough.
Going to check it out on Saturday to see if I can close the deal.
With trade they offer offering me 5K out the door.

You know, you are only about an hour away from me in Clear Spring, Md.
My garage is not so nice, and right now it is crowded with stuff from the basement flooding.
Some day we need to get together. I don't know many people who own as many Guzzi's as we do. And I was just offered a Centauro for about 6 grand. I always wanted one, but I don't think I can justify a 5th Guzzi. I don't have enough time for 4 of them. But I do like that bike. I keep reminding myself that I already have that motor in a Daytona.
Anyway, maybe this year we can get together for some food and drink somewhere out in the sticks. We know a good Mexican place in Capon Bridge.....
