Hi and thanks for the info. After posting I saw indeed that I'm not the only one who's curious although the last reaction is from a couple of years ago. Since this is then the only (official) post for the Scura registry I can drop the question here I guess: How is it possible that numbers above the 600 pop up while the Scura is limited to this number 600? Did they create an extra batch of numbers because of it's success or is the story about it wrong? Best Regards, Danny

It seems that, at the time when the person of the factory who had to make the numbers, he had a bit too much to drink during a party; The number of the bike I hope to buy this weekend is number S224. According to the list above, it seems to be driving around in England. According to the seller (and also according to the official registration office) this bike was imported from Italy to the Netherlands in 2011 where it has been ever since. Could it be that a mistake has been made in the list?

Hi all, Let me introduce myself first since I am completely new to this forum. My name is Danny, 52 years old living in The Netherlands and in the buying process of a beautiful Moto Guzzi v11 Scura (black). Very likely I will close the deal this week making me one of the 600 (proud) owners of the V11 Scura with number #S224. My new Scura (to be) was imported from Italy in 2011 and had officially 3 owners including the motorshop (TLM Nijmegen) where the Scura was traded in for another new motorcycle. Because I am alway curious about the history of a bike, and the fact that the Scura edition was limited to 600 pieces, I would like to find out where all the serial numbers went to, how the distribution was done with regard to the various countries, how many of them in each country, who the owners are, which color the bike was painted in (fully black of black/bullet grey), which modifications they made etc. Therefore I want to ask you (and especially the Scura owners) if you can help me finding this out, tips for where to look, addressing me to other Scura owners you might know, a contact in the factory in Italy, maybe you know somebody who already made such a list, etc. If interested I can share the Excel list here so everyone can get a good glimpse of the list. I checked some YT movies already and got some info but most of the time the serial number is not very visible. There was even one that had the nummer S664 which is pretty amazing, because as far as I know, there were only 600 pieces made of the Scura version. Hope to hear from you. Best Regards, Danny Hentenaar
