docc Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Good eye! I couldn't find anything on it that isn't knackered . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-E-Ross Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 That poor thing makes my "totaled" Tenni look concourse ready. I hope the rider fared better than the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 looks like the helmet lock might be undamaged. I can confirm that the helmet lock is in excellent condition. I just got the bike for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I just got the bike for parts. Is that code for another complete and meticulous restoration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Is that code for another complete and meticulous restoration? Not this time, the poor lass is definitely an organ donor. Although it would have been nice to have this on-hand while I was sorting out the 03 LeMans. Would have easily saved me $400 in switches, hardware, and other small bits.

Scud Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Rosso Mandello with less than 10,000 miles on e-bay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Guzzi-V11-Sport-/141793316837?forcerrptr=true&hash=item21038a4fe5&item=141793316837 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm trying to remember the V11s with single plate clutch/aluminum flywheel: early Scura, Tenni, and also the Rosso Mandello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I think those are "the usual suspects." Funny that of 600 Rosso Mandellos, 700 Scuras (not aware of an early/late Scura distinction), and fewer than 200 Tennis you mostly hear about problems with the Scuras. BTW - are these three also the only bikes that came with limited edition number plates on the triple clamps? I read somewhere that someone thought the single plate was a good design, but that there may have been a bad batch of flywheels (which cast doubt on the whole concept). OR maybe Scuristi are just more abusive. Whatever the case, the prevailing wisdom seems to be that replacing the flywheel/clutch is good insurance against a potentially catastrophic failure. So... grab yourself a parts bike to go with your number plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 . . . OR maybe Scuristi are just more abusive. Ok, so, you said that, not me . . . "Early Scura": 2002 "Late Scura" : 2005 Scura R (all known examples have had 2004 VIN) - perhaps the most rare V11? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czakky Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I thought I read somewhere that there's an x-Ray process that can tell you if your aluminum flywheel has micro cracks or not. Guzziology maybe? True though you mostly hear about Scuristi grenading there flywheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuzziMoto Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Perhaps you are referring to magnafluxing. For aluminum you obviously can't use the traditional magnetic version of the process, but from what I understand they have a dye based version that works on aluminum. You do have to remove the flywheel to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Could somebody please give this Rosso Corsa a home for $4,995? https://www.motointernational.com/catalog/used-motorcycles-and-scooters/used-2003-moto-guzzi-v11-lemans-rosso-corsa-1100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobleswood Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Had this daft dream last night about that Rosso Corsa in Seattle. I'd left the house drove the 3 days to Seattle. Bought the bike & rode it the 3 days back. Wife hadn't noticed I'd not been home for 6 days ! But quickly realised there were 2 red Guzzi's in the garage! Ha ! That's not going to happen ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
