Hey Tim, by the way, I lust after many bikes and one of them is Centauro. I heard one of them at a small Guzzi ralley once, man that thing sounded like a tamed beast! I hear they go-go fast. Can you say more? Bob |
I have never regreted buying the Centauro (from Mark, by the way).....It
ran like poop originally, but Will Creedon's chips did wonders. After I
got to chip #5, I got the Power Commander. Actually since I live ten
minutes from Dyno-jet, mine was done on their dyno.
That really made it into a hooligan bike. I call it my Buell Killer.
When I first took it out on the street with the Power Commander, I had
to sit 6 inches further forwared to keep the front end on the ground.
I recently tried to find out how fast it would go in each gear, before
the ignition cut out. It did 60 in 1st, 90 in second, about 110 in
third, and was at 125 in fourth when I came upon a trooper, and had to
shut down. Fortunately, out here in the desert you can usually see the
troopers from a distance.....
It not only runs strong, and sounds good (my exhasust is stock except
for a Mistral crossover), it handles really well.....very stable.
Can ya tell I like it......???
