docc Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 I've lost track of how many times I've seen that for sale. Not rare, and certainly not a Coppa Italia 2 1 1
gstallons Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 This ain't a Coppa Anything . I'd go look at it , ask a bunch of ?s . Thank him for his time and leave . 1
footgoose Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 it's this one. '02 Sport with a painted seat cowl. Didn't realize they came with black forks. 2
Rox Lemans Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 That there is the Coppa Di Merda Limited edition.. An "Enhanced" survivor.. Stripe added for" ultra speed"..Limited edition parts from E. Baye and special Amazonian racer parts from Jaque Bezos. Exquisite. Timeless.. Wait.. Down $1200????? They wanted $7200 at one time for that?!! 4

po18guy Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Coppas have Öhlins. This one has Nöhlins. Wrong forks, shock, fairing, paint, handlebars. Other than that, it's fine. More questions than answers. 2 2
docc Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 In all fairness, this looks like a nice LongFrame Sport, really pretty clean and original. Yeah, the tail fairing has probably been repainted, but the red and the stripes and "stickers" are pretty tasteful. No, I don't like header wrap, but that is removable and the stainless headers would likely polish up. The VIN does say 2003, but let's accept it as a 2002 "carry-over" (chin-pad tank with external pump/filter and white face Veglia instruments with the challenging "angle drives" and fuzzy-bubbly wrinkle black driveline paint). "Pretty", but less-than-ideal-for-tuning intake filters/"pods" in place of the factory airbox makes one wonder how the "side covers" have been remounted. (Someone saw to it that they are!) All of the Eagle plaques are intact along with the original exhaust, turn signals, full rear fender/lights, and factory shift/brake levers and footpegs. Really the only flaw to the offering is calling it a "Coppa Italia." 1

I don't communicate well. This so called Coppa is a standard v11 sport with some painted bits, and the pic I posted is a standard v11 sport that became the Coppa wannabe, IE same bike. To be fair the listing details do refer to the bike as a V11 Sport. I don't think the day has arrived yet that these command prices like that but I won't gripe at anyone that tries. 1
Admin Jaap Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Tank looks to be from the first red/grey LeMans. Can't visit Cycletrader because of some restrictions (regional?)

I also agree the general shape of the bike looks worthy to buy, just named wrong. 1
GuzziMoto Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 I would have thought by now someone would have posted a pic of an actual Coppa Italia I am a fan of the Coppa Italia, and regret that while I came close to getting one I wasn't able to. It was one of my favorite parts bin special versions of the V11. The bike for sale does look to have the correct pork chops in the metallic red anodized color, and is that a frame mount front fairing? Not sure. Doesn't look like it. But the lack of Ohlins (or Nohlins as po18guy said so well), along with the lack of the fancy paint job, mean that ain't what they say it is. At $6,000 that is too much money for a V11 in that shape. That is 5 lbs of shit for the price of 10. 3
Speedfrog Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Definitely not a frame mount front fairing. Photo #8 in the CT listing clearly shows the fork mounted headlight brackets.. 1
