Scud Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Fair warning... I have noticed this ad a few times for a Scura, which also misidentifies it as a Coppa Italia. I believe we discussed it elsewhere (or it may have come up on WildGuzzi). https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/2002-Moto-Guzzi-V11-COPPA-ITALIA-5011141431 Why the need for the warning? One of the pictures is of MY Scura. How can I tell? I know my child when I see her. Also, I recall taking the picture in the desert by the wind turbines... and it has all sorts of custom bits (mirrors, reservoir tanks, belly pan, etc) and extra "darkening" that I did... and my handheld, dirtbike GPS is mounted on the handlebars. So this could be a scam. Or the other pictures are of a bike he actually has for sale. Either way, I feel mixed emotions about this. Slightly violated and slightly complimented that the seller is using picture of my bike. FWIW - there is also a factory photo mixed in there, but the rest of the photos appear to be of a different Scura. 2 1

I talked to the guy (seller) the other day..Highly vague and too suspicious for me to want to deal with..says it has always been worked on by his " Friend" who is manager at Beverly Hills ...from my own personal experiance that alone was enough to make me run away.Ducati... 1
Kane Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 Scud, it looks like your bike is also for sale on the Los Angeles CL: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/mpo/d/los-angeles-moto-guzzi-v11-sport-scura/7063226027.html
Scud Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 How about that. Lovely photo though... I just sent the guy a text and asked to remove my picture from his ads. 2
po18guy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Searching for parts, this one just turned up in Texas. Starting bid $3,500. Appears to have a Corbin seat and comes with a pricey old-school café fairing extra. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-Moto-Guzzi-V11-Sport/124086408955?hash=item1ce42056fb:g:t18AAOSwEWpeSczX
4corsa Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Looks great in black - too bad he didn't get the fairing painted and installed.
po18guy Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Zero mile Greenie, $44??? OK, it's 1/12 scale, but still tempting. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MOTO-GUZZI-V11-SPORT-NEWRAY-DIE-CAST-1-12-NEW-IN-BOX-VERDE-LEGNANO/283777269881?hash=item4212718079:g:FEwAAOSwJFVeQGVg 2

In other news: 1. Need some cans and a crossover? $20, but I can't say whether they'll ship. 2. What looks like a pretty clean '03 Le Mans with just 10,500 miles showed up on BARF a couple days ago for $3,600—although it is a "Selling for a friend" scenario, so who knows. The person that posted it is a long-time member and I believe fairly reputable, at least as motorcyclists go. 1

I spoke with this weirdo a while back when he first exposed himself. He was more concerned about how I was going to pay for the said machine and appeared to have exceptionally low IQ ...Coppa??? Run don't walk as they say Ciao

Kane Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 On the L.A. CL, a good looking ‘86 LeMans 1000: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/mcy/d/tehachapi-1986-moto-guzzi-lemans-1000/7072341862.html Are those forks, the black legs and rubber boots, correct? I don’t recall seeing a LeMans with a front end like that.
po18guy Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Another mysterious Scura, $9K, in Sacramento. https://sacramento.craigslist.org/mcd/d/las-vegas-2002-moto-guzzi-v11-sport/7071357568.html
Surj Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 That's not in Sac; that's that Vegas dealer again. Same one as last time? 1

Too pricey for the work it will need. Crappy header wrap is coming undone, and I see the rear master cylinder shield is gone. What else? 1
