I saw that. Might be a good deal. I'm still looking for a rosa corsa.

Interesting V11 LeMans as it has what appears to have the old, possibly Sport 1100, drive-train fitted. Engine paint matches the five speed transmission and rear drive.

I really like the grey-silver paint for the drivetrain with that body color though.

I've always wanted to see a V11 with the engine and transmission painted something other than the early silver or the later black colors.
 
Curious that the drivetrain was swapped out. Was the frame also? The front suspension looks correct for the 02 LeMans. Wrecked V11 parts on an 1100 Sport?

It's also being sold by "Rod Smith"but not the Guzzi modifier Craig Rodsmith, which I find quite humorous.  :grin:

Good catch Joe. I missed that. Had to look again. I'll wager it's more likely the body work was swapped onto a Sport 1100. I wonder what year the title says???

To me.. the transmission color and rear drive look like Centauro. The swing arm looks Centaruo ish too. The muffler hangers? Dunno. For sure, itsa bitsa. I'd probably stay away from that one..  :grin: although it looks to be nicely done from 15 feet away.
