More Italian Hardware: 2004 Moto Guzzi V11 Coppa Italia
The Bimota’s have slowed down but the limited Moto Guzzi’s keep coming. There were under 50 V11 Coppa Italia’s imported here and this will be second one we’ve posted in just a couple of months. Like the last one, this one looks like a keeper.
Here’s the story on her:
This special motorcycle is a limited edition, of which only 47 were imported into the U.S. Very collectible and desirable motorcycle, with all the special performance and appearance features that a fine Itialian motorcycle should have. The bike is sporty yet comfortable. Light but solid. Shaft drive, of course. Comes complete with Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, adjustable steering damper, carbon fiber front fender and starter cover, passenger seat cowl cover, factory race exhaust and ECU, further tuned and dynoed (chart provided) by Redline Motorsports with added Power Commander. Roper Sloppage Sheet. The seat was upgraded for comfort by custom seat builder
Rich Maund. No damage or cosmetic flaws. No known mechanical defects. Owner’s Manual, all service records, and complete service manual on CD are included. Fully serviced most recently at 4300 miles.
There really isn’t anything to pick on even if I tried. This is the type of bike you just have to pull the trigger on if you’ve been waiting for one. RSBFS has listed two but who knows when the next one will come up for sale.
What would you pay for it? The last one sold for $8,100 and was very similar in miles and condition. As of this writing the auction had just started and I’m sure it wasn’t even close to the reserve price. $8,100 seems very reasonable for a unique bike with a some nice curb appeal.
Anyone else looking forward to the Moto Guzzi’s in the pipeline? Might be an interesting year or so Guzzists. Lets just hope those prototypes were more than just eye candy. .

Roper Sloppage sheet is an alternative to the standard sump spacer. It prevents cavitation of the oil pump under hard use by a Mr Pete Roper and Australian based Guzzi mechanic. These are nice wish I could fins one here for that little!
