1998 Moto Guzzi Centauro

Moto Guzzi's 1993 Daytona was their first 4-Valve Engine (100 HP). The Daytona was absolutely beautiful. but very difficult to ride for long distances. Being based on a Race Bike. the riding position was laying down on the tank with wrists bent and rear sets for gears and brakes.

Since most of us like to ride in a more upright position. the Daytona caused both sore wrists and backaches after +/- 75 miles.  

In 1977. Moto Guzzi developed the Centauro. a much more rider-friendly motorcycle with nearly the same power as the Daytona (95 HP). Even at 68. I can ride the Centauro for quite a while without any aches and pains.

The specific 1998 Centauro for sale is in excellent operating and cosmetic condition. It does have a few paint chips in the Belly Pan (normal for this location) and the left side of the "V" on the decal near the gas tank opening is gone.   I would consider the first to be normal for a motorcycle with a Belly Pan; the second is an easy fix with a steady hand and silver tape.

She is about 500 lbs in weight with +100 HP (Creeden Chip & Staintune Exhaust added) and rides like a dream. pretty good Power/Weight ratio.

The following extras are either on the Centauro or supplied with her:

- Creeden Chip

- Staintune Exhaust System

- Power Commander (not installed. but manufactured for the Centauro)

- Belly Pan & Rear Seat Cover

- Extra Windshield (Shorter)

- Racing Stand (No standard center stand)

- D&D Exhaust - for those who really want to make her scream!!!

- Bag Supports & Rear Carrier (No Bags included)

- Brake Pads (2 Sets)

- Miscellaneous Gaskets & Relays

- Original Seat

The Centauro is a really great Bike to ride; she can run the Speed Limit (35mph) in 4th Gear in town or accelerate to highly illegal speeds in all 5 gears.   With the extras noted above. the new owner can have some fun experimenting with the D&D. Power Commander. etc.

Thanks for looking at my ad.
