Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro description

Rare 1997 Moto Guzzi V10 Centauro Sport. This bike is well sorted, in excellent condition and runs great. The engine is dialed in with a cross over pipe (eliminates the Cat), computer chip and Power Commander. This setup solves the lean running condition the stock US bikes were prone to, and ads several horsepower (with total output around 95-97 hp at the rear wheel). The bike is quite rare and currently enjoys a bit of a ‘cult classic’ status. It is a true collectable - there were only 150 or so sent to the U.S. (even fewer exist in red, with the quarter and lower fairing). The previous owner collected interesting carbon fiber tidbits that trim the bike out well. The Borla pipes are very rare as well, and compliment the unique lines of the bike (in addition to sounding amazing!). Borla quit making pipes for bikes some time ago. The bike has 23k miles on it and was recently fitted with a new lithium-ion battery. Also included at this price are a few spares and the set of original Termignoni pipes (see last 2 photos of the bike with the Termignoni pipes installed).

Piaggio Announces 2011-2014 Business Plan – More Hybrids and Electric Models In the Pipeline

Wed, 14 Dec 2011

The Piaggio Group revealed its business plans for the next three years with a focus on developing fuel efficient engines and introducing new electric motors and hybrid powertrains. Beginning in 2012, Piaggio plans to introduce a new generation of engines with lower emissions and improved fuel economy. Examples include the new 350cc engine introduced in the Piaggio Beverly SportTouring and the fuel-injected 125cc four-stroke, three-valve engine equipped in the Vespa Quarantasei concept (which the company has apparently, and quietly, renamed as the much easier-to-pronounce Vespa 946).

EICMA 2013: Moto Guzzi V7 Series Updates

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Not to be left out of the 2013 EICMA show announcements, Moto Guzzi has announced its changes for the three models that make up the V7 line. Known for their 1970s-inspired style, the V7s are built, according to Moto Guzzi press materials, “to three fundamental pillars: the 90° transverse V-twin, the timeless double cradle frame and the renowned cardan shaft final drive.” Well, one of these pillars gets a functional update for 2014. The engine now utilizes a wet flywheel instead of the previous dry alternator.
