Damn. Speedy recovery.

Looking for a frame. Seeing if anyone has one in their garage. Trying to put back my old bike Thank you Kosta

Thanks everyone. Car pulled out in front of me with no chance to maneuver. Two broken arms and some ribs but all the gear saved me. Now I have some metal implanted in me and looking forward to see my TSA friends.

Sad to say goodbye to a dear bike lots of good memories.... sorry for the horrific picture

Welcome and congrats!!!

eBay

I love mine. Can't beat the price.

Congrats on the purchase!!! 2.5 Days Portland Maine to Charlotte North Caroline and back to pick up a Centauro.

I have the Laminar Lip and it works wonders. I only put it on for long trips.

If you are Kosta Suli.. yes

Hello Chuck did you get my email?

Count me in for one.

Wow!!! I am speechless. Just wow. Thank you Pete and Tim

Don't care what color. PM me Thank you Kosta

How does the handlebar and that fairing work together? Nice Coppa I love it.

Recieved mine still in the package though. Thank you Tim and Pete

Thanks Kiwi What is John Day? No idea what you talking about Docc...... It's a uniquely styled bike for sure. Some love it, others hate it (I've read some very witty scathing comments about it's appearance). When I bought my Scura, the dealer also had a Centauro available, a dark green one. He suggested I ride it, but I just couldn't get past the low seat and the overall look of it. I guess it is a muscle-bike, or power-cruiser - but that genre has never been appealing to me. I now wish I had at least taken it for a spin so I would know how that motor performs. But something to consider for the project: The Centauro is a rare and unusual motorcycle. It might be worth ensuring that all mods are reversible - and keeping the stock parts so it could be restored in future if you (or someone else) wants it to be a Centauro again. Anything I will do to the bike in the future will be fully reversible. But at the same time I don't see this or any of the other bikes I own leave my possession anytime soon. The Guzzi's will never be able to leave my possession ever again. It's a uniquely styled bike for sure.

That is what I did with my Daytona. I swapped the rear end to a V11 tail / rear subframe. I removed the front fairing and swapped to GSXR front forks with handle bars instead of clip ons. I did a few other changes as well, but all of them are bolt off / bolt on. I have all the original parts and could put it back to stock if I wanted to. I second that

At that mileage you need to pull the front engine cover off and check the oil pump drive input shaft for wear. When worn they take out the aluminum drive gear and all hell breaks loose. Also check the aluminum cam drive gear for wear while you're in there. I suggest you fit a replacement pump from a V11 or the German made aftermarket one I have with a needle bearing on the pump input shaft. I love the Daytona/Centauro engine and have one on the bench rebuilding it for fitment to my V11, but they are a bit prone to wear in the previously mentioned areas as well as cam followers and valve guides. Ciao Thank you for info Phil. A more thorough inspection of the engine is scheduled real soon.
