As I read more about the Bellagio, and look the registry, I'm thinking that this model was not brought to the USA. Correct?

Bellagio in the USA?

In the USA, sadly no. In the rest of the world. Yes.
Ok, thank you.
What was the legal side of this Todd?

Chris.
All OEMs must pay a (significant) cost for emissions and safety requirement tests globally. For North America (USA & Canada), this was never done for cost constraints vs probable sales. Remember all Guzzi models have extremely low sales volume. I was friends with the person responsible for this back then, and his words to me were “I can’t put my name on yet one more import model that Guzzi has to sell at a loss.” Back then, the Griso was $14,990, and the Bellagio would’ve need to be $12,990-$13,490, and a loss even at that price. He asked me what I would buy one at, and I said $9,990 to $10,990 max. The 883 HD Sportster was a competitor, and less $. It made no financial sense, so it wasn’t legally imported into North America. Even used, as it’s identified by the VIN.
Does the same 25 year deal work for BIke’s as for cars ?
Thanks Todd, had no idea as to the legal side of this. Complex situation over there.
They were made from 2007 to 2012. 25 years makes it 2032 before they can be imported. 9 more years.
