Skeeve Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks czakky! Sorry I haven't posted these in while...but hopefully the above group was worth the wait! BTW, I contacted the guy with the Tenni green Cafe Sport, here is what he had to say: Hi Joe. It's nice to find someone who can appreciate what I have done with the bike. There isn't many Moto Guzzi lovers where I am. Anyway, I bought the bike from insurance agency as it had a damage to the front wheel, forks and speedometer. I replaced the shocks with the ones from MV Augusta . Never liked the speedometer so I got after market one. Brand new wheel. There was no damage to the body but since I always loved the green I went with it. I tried clip ons but the long tank made it impossible to ride it so I went to more original style handlebars. I can take more pictures. Any special angles , pieces ? Is "rebuilt" a nice way of stating "salvage title so the ins. co. is never going to pay off on the real replacement cost when something bad happens to it?" Nicely done tho'. Pump him for the info on what paint codes he used!
felix42o Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Can't say for sure...I bought it in 2005 out of a now closed shop in Oceanside. It had about 5,000 or so on it then, with a failed rotor and stator causing charging issues. I owned it until last year with 30,000 miles on it, traded it for a Futura, and it's changed hands twice since then (yet only collected another 2,000 miles between them for some reason ) Emailed the current owner...says it's not what he wants, but I suspect the persistent sneeze/cough at 2500RPM I'd never been able to fully solve is scaring them off. I just never rode it slow enough to care I s'pose. I've toyed with selling one of my airheads to get it back, but can't quite get myself there yet. Mostly because I can't afford to have it as just a toy, and I think my next main ride will likely be a used Stelvio. If I bring the V11 back home, any chance at talking the wife into a Stelvio will be infinitely more difficult.
Scud Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Here's a sub-1,000 mile, "collector quality" Rosso Corsa for over $9,000: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/mcd/5092216126.html
chamberlin Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Scud, here's the related link I received this morning from the raresportsbikesforsale blog:http://raresportbikesforsale.com/big-iron-2003-moto-guzzi-v11-le-mans-rosso-corse/I had to comment on the blog... since they got the bike's name wrong from the ad (and the cylinder arrangement) LOL
Scud Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Pristine, low-mile, red 2004 LeMans in the Los Angeles area. MG Ti exhaust. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/mcy/5135324146.html Lovely Scura in San Francisco. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/mcy/5134197576.html They would go nicely together.....
docc Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 They would go nicely together..... Sounds the start of a therapy group.
docc Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 That scura won't last long... Wait: "363 of 650?" Rosso Mandello were numbered through 300 and another 300 built but not numbered . . . Scura were numbered?
Scud Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Scura were numbered with plaques on the top triple clamp (mine says S375), but it seems that they were more common than many of the non-numbered bikes. I added the one for sale to the Scura Register (aka therapy group)... wait, isn't this whole site a therapy group? I know I feel better since joining...
GuzziMoto Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Scura were numbered with plaques on the top triple clamp (mine says S375), but it seems that they were more common than many of the non-numbered bikes. I added the one for sale to the Scura Register (aka therapy group)... wait, isn't this whole site a therapy group? I know I feel better since joining... I got chewed out for suggesting something like that once before. All Guzzi's are limited production. Having a numbered plaque is not required. Some are less common than others, having a numbered plaque has little to do with it. My '93 Daytona is probably rarer than a Scura, my wifes Lario is probably rarer still. But that has little to do with how much fun they all are to ride. I enjoy riding ALL my Guzzi's, and would happily enjoy riding yours if you want to lend it to me ;-) Can't we all just get along?????

They are all rare. I did a little rough math over at the LeMans Registry: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17535&page=3 The number plaque makes it seem more rare. I admit, it's kind of fun to show off when people ask about the Scura: "Look it's so rare that they numbered them..." Maybe I'll stick a plaque on the LeMans for entertainment value. Let me know when you're in the area. I'll show you a few mountain roads and you can show me how to lean a bike until the front axle nut drags around the corners...
Scud Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I believe I've seen a few people write about how much they want a Coppa Italia... here's your chance: http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/mcy/5137009055.html Not even 3,000 miles, heaps of tasteful upgrades. $10,000.

Another one of those crazy owners of low mile special edition bikes that goes balls out on the mods! hehehe (JUST KIDDING SCUD BUDDY!)
docc Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 And don't miss the Black Sport just listed by blacklist in classifieds: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19149&do=findComment&comment=205774
