Thx to all for your assistance. Ciao
Reading this reminds me of a mistake I made. About a year ago, looking up Guzzi on craigslist ... a thing to do while having morning coffee ... and up pops a yellow Centauro. Bike was located a bit middle of no where CA, like 2.5 hrs from any real city. Bike looked great, had not been started in ~ 2 years, guy was asking $2500, I believe it had around 10K miles. I read up some more about these bikes, tempted, but I already have a Griso. And with my old knees, back, wrist, the Griso is a "ride it 1-2 hours" type of bike for me. Seemed the Centauro would be similar ergos. And again, Griso, 4 valve, just seemed redundant, too much overlap.That ad ran for ~3 weeks and then disappeared. I still think I should have made that trip! Every Centauro after that has been a "look what a unique bike I have, give me $6,000 for it" ads.Good luck with your Centauro quest.
Thx to all for your assistance and comments….looking forward to speaking with someone that has a nice correct one in need of a new custodian. Ciao for now
High bid $1500? I guess I'll be keeping mine.
Not enough Guzzisti in the room when that Centauro went across the block.Of course, if there was ANYTHING wrong with it, the price would be low.A good Centauro being $5000. If you want to buy a rough one, fix it, flip it, wholesale/auction price will be LOW.
As far as I know the one I have with 27K on it has the stock pump and gears.
Psycho Chicken Yellow?!? Never heard that one before!! I understand the yellow color paint name is actually called Scopa Gialla, which means "Yellow Broom!"
If you look closely you can see the rubber chicken attached to the shield bracket
Well, this Centauro DID NOT sell in Vegas this week, as the high bid was a silly $1500...so it did NOT meet RESERVE!!
JJ, The Centauro at Mecum sold for $2500. I spoke with the new owner in the unsold corral. He was surprised the seller took the offer.Mike
I wonder how many are still out there? Or how many are leaning against a tree in the backyard somewhere?
