Title: Living room find
Post by: rschrum on August 27, 2020, 10:06:29 PM

Couldn't find a nice Rossa Corsa so had to settle for this. Yes, it was in his living room, for years, fortunately fuel drained, and then he died. Word reached the family that I liked oddball motorcycles, or that I was an oddball, anyway they contacted me and I bought it from the estate. Fuel and battery and it fired and sounds great. Got a roper plate coming and tires, head torque etc.

Always have loved that color scheme.   Sure is a change from the Barn Finds!

I'm sorry for the family that the owner passed away, but they did exactly the right thing - found someone who would appreciate something he obviously cared about, and made the deal.   So often, it goes the other way - the family believes that Dad's motorcycle is worth some fortune and think everyone's trying to rip them off.

NOW it's going to have a second life as a rider, right?  Right?   :wink:

     Beautiful bike, glad it ended up in your hands  :thumb:

     V11's in living rooms, I never knew that was a thing, but that's where mine had been parked,lol.  :laugh:

     Glad to hear you've got the Roper plate on the way,,, there are improved shift pawl return springs out there as well and I think there may be another run on Lucky Phil's extended shift arm linkages, V11Lemans.com has a wealth of info on these bikes.

     Wishing you many safe miles.

I'm jealous - wish my garage looked like that.

The coppa itailia is soooo much prettier that the rosso or Nero corsa. Probably the prettiest paint scheme ever put on a guzzi.

Congrats!

Looks like it also has the Guzzi titanium exhaust system. Big bucks and IIRC came with a different ecu.

Very nice!

Saw one of those at Bob's place during the Moto Guzzi campout.

Nice looking bike.
