I realize there is a forum for these machines but was curious if any of our members would own a Gray ( anthracite color I believe ) Centauro Sport?
Any info on what year that sports were available as well as that particular color combo would be appreciated as I'm sure someone has one.
Thx in advance Always had a curiosity about these particular models but don't know a lot about them.

I worked at a dealership when the Centauro was new. The V10 Sport was available in two colors: Red with white stripes. Green with white stripes. There was no anthricite V10 Sport in any of the documentation I ever saw.
There was a Centauro GT, which was a base Centauro with the addition of windscreen, touring seat, and plastic luggage rack.
So, basically, for 1998 there were three models:
- V10 Centauro

This is my 1998 Centauro GT. I came with the bikini-fairing and belly-pan, and black Aprilia mirrors, and I bought the rack on eBay. :thumb: :cool: :wink: I also have the stock-plastic seat hump part...
I added an LED headlight, dual-red (loud) HELLA horns, Hyper-light brake lights, steel timing gears and oil-pump gear, (replacing the weaker aluminum stock ones), and new belts. / brake pads. I bought with 6500 miles, third owner, bike was originally sold new in Dallas, TX, and now have 15,000 miles on it. I have ridden 500-600 miles days more than a few times with no issues. It has never left me stranded anywhere, (yet...) :shocked: :rolleyes: :huh:
It is affectionately known as "The Yellow Horse" or "The Beast." It is my fifth (5th) Moto Guzzi to date and certainly one of my favorites.

Thx Rocker...… so if I'm understanding this correctly the Sport only came from the factory in a red or a green in the U.S?
What differences were there between the two cosmetically/mechanically?
Thx in advance.
-
Had a GT, maroon and silver. It had a small rack on it. It also had the belly pan and fairing, not sure if those were added. My current sport, no rack, white circles on both flanks and centauro sport script on the top of tank. As far as I know just those cosmetic differences.

QUOTE: What differences were there between the two cosmetically/mechanically?
The differences between the Centauro V10, the GT, and the Sport was purely only cosmetic...
They were all the same mechanically... :wink:

Correct. V10 Sport only available red or green. Came with bikini fairing.
All Centauros were the same under the skin. Only difference was paint/graphics, and in the case of the GT, seat/rack/windscreen. Engine, suspension, brakes were all same as Daytona RS.

There is a '98 coming up for auction in Vegas at MECUM in a few weeks...
Also, check the CLASSIFIEDS on this site, as there also seems to be one available for sale.
Then, there is THIS ONE, which is on the East coast, appeared this week on this forum... :thumb: :cool:

Funny, sounds like something I would do. Sitting around, brainstorming, then ah-ha! Broom sitting in the corner looking sharp, lets call it that!
One of my first Vespa repaints when I was 16 was based off a soap my mom had in the bathroom. I took the soap to the paint mixing shop and had them color match it. The guy got a kick out of it, but made it happen!
-
Using the app, CycleTrader, I'm seeing a 1/2 dozen Centauro for sale..
Just saying..
-
If you want something rare, there is a low mileage Blue Centy for sale in Augusta, GA. It goes on Craigslist from time to time. Reasonable around 3500 bucks. Blue stock color from EU. A friend from GA club bought a Hydo from the guy. Nice bikes.
-
Many thx gentlemen.
Yes I am aware of the Centis on Cycle trader ….. the only one that interests me at this point would be the all yellow with low mileage.
Its been on for a while?? looks like there could be corrosion issues but I have reached out for more info.
If any other members have such a creature that is in the condition requested would be good to hear from you.
Ciao.
-
Someone posted a $2500 Centauro on here didn't they? It had a V11 Lemans fairing, was red and white, had clipons, nice looking machine.
One gentleman looked at it and stated the ergos were not correct for him so he decided to pass.
But - for $2500? It would seem that you couldn't go wrong. If it's the wrong color for you, just buy and it and I'll paint it any color you wish LOL
-
It was this one: https://www.razeemotorcycle.com/inventory/-10397715i
Anyone want to reveal what year the anthracite one was? :angel:
-
Yes I am aware of that red one as well.
I'm looking for a factory correct one well kept low mileage preferred.
In a perfect world would be good if it had the Staintunes with Wills mod as would be probably needed to run correctly.

Hey JJ yours looks ferry nice.
Had a look at the one offered at mecums but cant seem to locate very much info on that one??
Does anyone know who owns that one and a bit of its history?
Appreciate all in advance for trying to find a nice one out there.
Ciao PS. Still have had no reply from the owner of the yellow one on Cycle??

Awhile ago, maybe a year or so, there was a very nice, original yellow one FOR SALE in Tucson...
I met the owner once, (friend of a friend...), and saw the bike in person. I will try and find out more information ASAP.

Hi AH Fan!
Just sent you a PM with the guys contact information and two photos I took in April 2012 of this guys yellow Centauro in Tucson, AZ. I suspect he still has it (??) Good luck! :cool: :thumb: :wink:
JJ Cerilli
-
Thx JJ
Turns out that one is gone....
So still looking.
Weird thing is these adds on Cycle trader and others are a million years old?? a lot of these machines are long gone or are not responding.
I was wondering if any of the members here remember a Gentleman out of Albuquerque new Mexico that had or has one as I spoke with him years ago.
I believe it had red wheels..... that's how you would remember it I'm sure.
Ciao At any rate the quest continues.
-
I put the word out on Facebook on the following pages:
* V10 Centauro Group
* Moto Guzzi National Owners Group
* SOCAL Moto Guzzi Riders Group
Be patient, as another one FOR SALE will come up eventually... :thumb: :wink: :cool:

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 :grin: ... 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. :smiley:

I have ridden several Griso's and they are fabulous, smooth, powerful, modern Guzzi's.
If you already own and ride a Griso, there is no need to buy a Centauro, IMHO.
Before I bought my '98 GT, I came close to buying a new Griso, but it was twice the money (*new*). No regrets about buying my Centauro, and yes, it is unique as they did not make too many of this model, in total....only about 245. :wink: :thumb: :cool:

looking forward to speaking with someone that has a nice correct one in need of a new custodian. :bow:

Just a heads up. I *know* you like totally unmolested bone stock motorcycles. A stock unmodified Centauro will barely run. :smiley: If you are "saving" it in a collection.. fine. If you are going to ride it, you'll need to molest it a bit. :grin:
-
Very aware of what would be needed as I went through my Daytona RS... Wills work ..Staintunes.. crossover.. V 11 oiling system transplant.
It would not be considered much molestation if any or all of that were done correctly by the present custodian as I would be doing it eventually. :thumb:
Thanks to all who are assisting in locating one that might be gotten.

Well, this Centauro DID NOT sell in Vegas this week, as the high bid was a silly $1500...so it did NOT meet RESERVE!! :wink:

The Centauro is a tricky model. Until you "really" start looking at it, styling and performance specs, it's easy to glance over. I'm guilty of that until recently, but now I truly appreciated it.
-
High bid $1500? I guess I'll be keeping mine.

From my experience, the CMV (Current Market Value) for a nice, "turn-key", well running, well maintained Centauro, with all the known issues ,(Timing gears / oil pump gear replacement, etc.), modified and fixed is between $4500-$5500. :wink: :thumb: :cool:
-
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.

(https://i.ibb.co/9wLC6Ct/IMG-1183.jpg) (https://ibb.co/9wLC6Ct)
Mine had 42K on the original pump and gears and they were fine. Unfortunately, I got the Norge hots and traded it in. :rolleyes: However, I used to do belt changes for guys and the gears on one with less than 20K were toast. I *think* it's the luck of the draw. Tolerance stackups, type and frequency of lube changes..
Oh no! An oil thread.. :shocked: :smiley:
-
I have a theory about the oil pump gears. Possibly the ones that fail have had owners that rev the hell out of them when the oil is cold and thick, putting more stress on the gears. Or not.
-
I’ve never heard of the pump gears failing. The weakness in the stock pump is that the shaft which holds the drive gear (or sprocket) runs in the unbushed aluminum pump body. The spinning shaft wears away the body, ultimately allowing oil from inside the pump to escape into the timing chest.
The aluminum drive gear is claimed to be a weakness as well, but I didn’t see any serious wear when I replaced mine at about 20k miles.
If you plan to keep the bike, just go with the Joe Caruso gear and oil pump and be done with it. This is not a place in the motor where you should cheap out.
-
There's one for ya.
(https://i.ibb.co/0sCWdgp/oil-pump-gear.jpg) (https://ibb.co/0sCWdgp)
-
Yes it seems that there are some that have put big mileage on their stock machines with no bombs going off.
I just couldn't stomach the consequences if there was such an occurrence is all.
.
So still hoping to locate a fine example of the Centi for my safe keeping if anyone has one. :bow:

I bought one a couple of years ago that sat in a (not so waterproof) shed for 18+ years. Cleaned it up and it ran.
I still have the one I bought when it was about 4 years old. Always thought they were special and I am surprised by how little they are valued.

I just got the latest issue of Rider Magazine. An article by Clement Salvadore titled Does a Motorcycle Have Character? Towards the end of the article he says "These test bikes all had their own good points, with a few bad points, and to remember I only have to find the road test. Moto Guzzi Centauro? October 1998." So I was wondering what he meant. I assumed he meant lots of character because we all know our bikes are probably the poster children for bikes with character. I am just not too familiar with older Guzzis.
There is another article, Favorite Ride, in that same mag that has a picture with some bikes in front of a restaurant. It is hard to see but right in front is an MG, looks like it might be a V7 II.

-
I called the auction office as soon as I heard that didn't sell to get more details and they told me then it had just sold but wouldn't forward the winning bid.
So I'm still looking or waiting for any of you good old boys that might know or have one( sorted) that might be had.... :popcorn:

There is one on mg classifieds. In Clearwater Florida. I talked to him some years back, and it seemed like a good one. Has an old Griso also.

Yes I am aware of all of the current ones available on Cycle /eBay ect.
And yes I am interested in a low mileage/well kept unmolested example that has the desirable corrections done .... at present there are quite a few that do not fit that requirement but I'm optimistic that one will present itself or a member may PM with an offer of one such creature in the future.

IIRC Grey on grey model was only the basic model. Which I have in the garage. '97 year.

It's a repaint, by the way.

My '98 GT came with the bikini fairing AND the belly pan. I added the rack later, which I found on eBay...(just sayin') :wink:

I guess with the repaint it could have been a sport, and all the bits will interchange.

Yes, and the sport says so on the tank. Someone liked it, as its gone.

I'm 99percent sure that mine didn't say anything on the tank. :grin:

Not necessarily.. this is Guzzi we're talking about. :grin: Mine was anthracite with the "adjustable" bars, sport chin fairing and fly screen, and GT "luggage rack." '98.
Oooooh. Forgot about that. 1 year later, add a windscreen and luggage rack. Call it a GT (Gran Turismo) and now appeals to the touring crowd. :grin: New & improved. :rolleyes:

I've seen a picture of the GT windshield.. but none in the flesh. I wonder if they ever made them? :grin:

A windshield on the "pregnant shrimp"? Never saw any but I didn't pay attention to the accessories for them either. I just wanted one. :shocked:

I once had a punk Millennial, who rode a small displacement Kawasaki, sit on my Centauro, and when I asked him how he liked it, he said: "It felt like I was straddling a cow..." :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :shocked: :shocked: :huh: :huh:
That's nice... :laugh: :grin: :wink:

In theory the gt had the gt seat, rack, gt windshield, and tank lettering. Mine didn't have the rack

I have not heard the pregnant shrimp statement in years. I think it was some one on this site that started it.
I still like the look regardless.
