Thought they stopped production...

The Bellagio is the direct descendant of the Cali "Stone" series which was released to compete directly with the Harley Sportsters. Even with its single sided swingarm and monoshock it still has the cruiser look, and then they add 'T' bars and offer a super low arsed version and most models were painted matt black.
????????? Somebody in the marketing dept f%#&@d up.
You could import mine from Australia
magoo said:I live down under and there are many (relatively speaking) Bellagios in OZ. I know three owners locally and they all love theirs. Very good ergos for shortarse people and perhaps lady riders too.
I don't know why some model lines aren't sold in the US but I do know that most Guzzis sold here are approx TWICE the price of those in the US, even taking into account the very strong local Aussie $. Maybe if they have a low selling model in Europe (very few cruisers there) they decide to maximise profits by only selling where the markup is high ??

As everyone who comes here often knows I'm an 8V Evangelist but the Bellagio is just so *Right*. Everything works, bore, stroke, their ratio, valve and port size, fuelling, its just a brilliant bike. It has been said before that the reason it isn't sold in the USA is probably due to displacement. Jesus! The sort of inadequate softcoques who are or ride about on such stuff are never going to buy something that isn't a Harley or something with a name like a 'Flagelator' or something suitably 'Manly'! Bugger me drunk! Why not bring a few in and see what happens? I reckon they'd sell like lobster tails at a $ a kilo!
