I purchased a Moto Guzzi Centauro the other day. These were never imported into Canada. The one I got was brought in from the USA. Arkansas to be exact. I have always loved the look of these bikes I must be strange as not many were sold worldwide around 1700 total in a four year run.  A transverse mounted vee twin. 992 CC's and  four valve heads for a 95hp rating. I have not brought it home yet. Next week. Needs fork seals done but other than that looks like it's good to go. I hope I am not just trying to relive my youth! Here's a link to a picture of one off the web.http://moto.zombdrive.com/image-model/5389-moto-guzzi-centauro-4.jpg.html

Nice bike. I like the big machines. What year is the one you bought?

Somehow the link seems to have gotten better.

On my screen, it's about 2" wide  by 1" high.

Lol it looked at first on mine like it had compressed the pixels by ninety percent.

I know this is a really old thread but Nick Adams has some cool old Moto Guzzi videos at https://www.youtube.com/user/nick949eldo


Most of his rides are in Canada.
Put it into perspective; we live on a rock hurtling through space, what could be scarier than that?
