[GriffiT]

Wanted to Buy.

Prefer Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000, V1100 or V11 Sport... but any other 'sport' styled Guzzi considered.
Would even consider an accident damaged bike.

If you get one, you will NEVER regret it.

The only regret I have is I can't ride the damn thing for a wee while !!

Anything you need to know about the V11's, ask myself or Dangerous.

BTW Daytonas are very rare nowadays.

Cheers

Thanks, but I'm after the 1990's version.Hey man, ok the 1st V11 was 1999, so I think wht you want is a 1100 sport or 1000 daytona.
91 was the last of the 1000 2v LeMans
92 the 1st 1000 4v Daytona, only 2hp up on the 1100 2v engine but power delivery is way different
95 was the Daytona racing, bit flasher bit more powerfull also the 1st 1100 sport
97 the 1100 sport came out with white power and fuel injuction And the new Daytona RS in sport uniform with a diferent shade of red
98 the last sport was the Corsa, factory corilo, race cans etc and ultered paint.

shit I shoulda just posted this http://daytonasite.free.fr/english/daytona_website.htm
and all guzzi http://www.mgcn.nl/index.php/database-dameijer-database-58

If you want an 1100 Sport (and who wouldn't - stunning looking bikes) go for the later 1100i. The carb version is a great bike but can have gearbox issues and other little problems which can take the gloss off. The latter bikes are much more sorted (for a Guzzi) but can still have patchy build quality issues.

Daytonas (as you know I'm sure) are a totally different engine that requires some specialist knowledge and ability these days. Unless you really know what you are getting in for the 1100i is a better bet. Best investment you can make is a copy of Guzziology.

Try calling Pete at Moto Kiwi, hes always in the know with the Guzzi underground.

OHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Paul LOL stick to ya old round fin shitters ;) The 97 1100i also has straight cut gears of which #5 can fall apart, the only advantage of a inj over the carbie is beter suspension, if anything the inj has more issues than the carb that being all ECU based, simple shit like relays, and earthing probs, again simple as to sort.

I think looking at Griff's photos of his Duc he is selling, that he is more keen on doing a bike up and doing it rather bloody well over riding...?

The Daytona is as simple as the sport, as far as I know no extra effort needed to keep one other than regular cam belts, and two extra (thats 4 extra) valves to keep adjusted.

Hey Griff... if you end up with a RS and you do as tidy a job as you have with the Duc I would be keen on that once ya finished it... ps: add a turbo were the X over is, that be the mutts nuts cos... if ya have ever riden a RS they feel like a stroker as the revs raise, were as the 2v engins wind up early and finish earlish.

*relays need to be of solid state
*extra earths need to be added due to poor factory earthing (paint was not removed from the frame at earthing points)
*breather required for finel drive

Not true Mr D...

Early ones only have 3 engagement dogs on the gears (older 5 speeds have 5) resulting in worse backlash than usual, patchy hardening and only a face cam shock absorber in the drive line which can hammer the drive line. Its these early ones that usually suffer catastrophic gearbox failure. Its common to replace the whole box with an earlier one.

The latter injected ones had a revised frame, WP upside down front end, Marceshini wheels (much lighter than the carbed bikes), Cush drive final drive and helical cut gearbox which the carbed bikes do without. They had a few injection issues although there are various fixes with them. Fitting the Will Creedon chips seems the most popular. Cliff Jeffries makes a replacement ECU that seems to work.

The earlier Daytona's shared a lot of the running gear with the carbed 1100 sports the Daytona RS shared with the injected one. The earlier carbed bikes had the rather woeful 12mm brembo maser cylinder stock as well. The later ones got a 16mm as used on the 916 ducati and that improved things no end.

The 4V 'hi cam' motors do require more effort to service and like any bike with belt driven cams don't take kindly to sitting for long periods as the belts can develop a memory and snap prematurely. Good bikes if used regularly but for all the complications they don't seem to offer a lot more go than a good 1100i. The RS has fancy farkles of course....

The carbed bikes are good but the injected ones are a bit more advanced and a few of the issues with the early ones were addressed.

The last '1100i Sport Corsa' would be the best...

didnt know about the 3 dog set up, and as you well know MG bargin bin specials each bike can be different... my 1100i had a straight cut box in it (I know wasnt ment to but I also know it wasnt the only one, it ened up with a SP box in it after 100km.
Ive not heard of box's flying apart literly just that gears get beyond nosie, once fixed all sorted, and I wasnt going into the nity grity ie wheels cush drive etc but of course it all adds up and as far as day to day riding goes I have not noticed any differance in riding carb to inj, on the track may well be different, the worse thing for me with a std set up carb is the 1/2 turn throtel.
I once measered up a 95 to my 97 I cant remember but one bike had a steper fork rake and shorter wheel base.



The 4V 'hi cam' motors do require more effort to service like how? its just a cam operating two rocker shafts via belt

Great info guys, but unfortunatly due to the lack of availability I'm bassically going to have to buy what ever comes up. Buy the way, the comment about my Ducati Pantah.... restoring and not riding... the last 6 years I've averaged 16,000 to 20,000 km's a year. Sometimes I do 300-400kms a day four days a week.

Ohh I ment more your passion is working on and am asuming that is why you want a Daytona, for what it is not 'just' a bike to ride, did not mean ya dont ride.

[Paul in NZ]

The 1100's are tightly held these days. I'd still call Pete at Moto Kiwi as he was trying to sell one for yonks but he will know of any that might be for sale. If I was looking he would be the first guy I'd call...

You might also try people that import bikes from Japan and ask if they can get one... Lots came in from there. The merkin ones had funny lookin headlamps - you dont want that...

Hey guys,

I would like some info about a 1996 Moto Guzzi Daytona 1000 sport
It is a limited edition #97/100

Has done 13,000kms, comes with racing pipes and stock pipes, and racing ecu chip.

It is in mint condition with all original parts as far as I can tell.

A google search said it was only imported to a few countries excluding USA due to emission laws.

Is there any info about this model that somebody could please provide?

Probably in the wrong thread but there seems to be few of you here that know these like the back of your hand.

Ok... here http://daytonasite.free.fr/english/daytona_website.htm and here http://www.mgcn.nl/index.php/database-dameijer-database-58

A 96 limited edition is likely to be a "Austraila" the above links will give you info there, it is NOT a sport as they are 1100 2v engines, post a link to your bike if ya want more info.

[Bow-Down]

Yeah my mistake. It is "racing" not sport. Thanks for the links
