My bike's gorgeous, but a Frankenstein of year models

Good lookin bike. There were quite a few "parts" bikes built in 2004. I have one I bought brand new. Looks identical to yours except it's all red, and my front fairing is different. Same black front end , clipons, gray valve covers, and blue knob on rear shock. I'll try to get some pics up for you.

Looks like a fluke in the VIN or what Power said.

 

It's not a Nero Corsa for certain. I think those had Ohlins. Looks like yours could of started out as a Lemans or Ballabio. More Ballabio than anything. Could be an 04 Bitsa from the factory. Triumph was once notorious for that. I had an 06 Speedfour that the VIN said was a tt600 . Basically a final year bike built from the parts bin (one bike I wish I still had).

No surprise that Moto Guzzi would have built numerous "specials" in the final year of the V11 series. All the more rare! :mg:
