Bonjour!

Post by Ben_ »

Greetings from Wales.

I bought myself a Veloce on Saturday.

Here's a pic and here's a dyno run.

Welcome to the forum Ben.
I think you are our first Veloce owner.

So that's 130 Hp at the rear wheel :twisted:
and a nice flat torque curve with max torque from 4500-8500rpm.

I am going to have to get myself a test ride on one of these beasties.

Really? 1st Veloce owner on here 8)

If you look again, it's still producing 75lbs/ft at 9,000 rpm............... :lol:

I wonder how many Veloces there are in the country?

It is fast as fook but in the wet it was averaging 21mpg. I'd reckon on high teens when riding flat out during the summer. That means I'll have to refill every hour.

120+ gets hard work as you will all know but the sound of the Terry Wogan exhausts without the baffles is truly violent; not dissimilar to an airwaves Ducatti :lol:

Hi Ben - is that the demo bike from realworld bikes in aberdare?

I rode there demo bike very similar to yours on a test ride about 4 weeks ago. So impressed I ordered one myself.

Just arrived last weekend, a Veloce in all black :twisted:

I even braved hailstones, thunder/lightning and torrential downpours to drop off my Tuono and pick her up.

I'd forgotten what it was like to have a working rear brake, and proper indicators (if u have ridden a Tuono/RSV you will know what I mean)

May see you up the burger van on route to brecon one day ;)

Hey Curtis.

Yup, that was the one you rode.

You may see me ride past the burger van as I hardly ever stop there :lol:

I'll be on my way through the Dfynnog to the caffi in Llandovery 8)

Wow- what's the odds of that?

Having a go on your bike certainly sold it for me.

Really impressed that it still felt really tight (much more so than my Tuono) despite a few thou on the clock. My test ride was cut a bit short when the fuel light came on the way to brecon, but it was long enough to decide I wanted one. Was blown away with the smoothness of the awesome engine.

Just waiting for this crappy weather to clear so I can put some miles on mine - roll on 1000km so I can open her up :)

I'm sure we'll hear each other passing with the tergi's booming ;)

Nearly 10hp with a PC3 and de-cat?

Hmmmmm, would sort out my over fuelling issues too :wink:

Mind you, the Veloce needs some kind of screen before I start spunking money on more power as travelling much over 100mph is too much like hard work and 120 is a real challenge to the neck muscles!

It would be interesting to get a comparitive plot on the same dyno with the standard Veloce 'LOUD' set-up:

Race ECU plus no baffles in the Tergi's.

I would hope its some power improvement over standard Corsaro given the price premium. The baffles in the Tergi's look very restrictictive so they cant be helping things much.

Once run in I'll get mine on the dyno too.

the difference between with or without DB killer will be felt on the top t/mins but only if you use the added race CPU with the Termignionis.
I had a gain of +-4 PS from the stock to the termis(: one had the db killer out to allow entering the Co sond. )That's under condition that your stock fuel mixter is a flat line over the whole t/m range : the Corsaro are mostly too rich over the 6000t/m level. The Powercommander gets this under control. Do not compare too hastely dyno curves to eachother untill they made on the same type powerbank with the same output (scale and measurementspoints) .

My Run at Martin's is with the race ECU and the full noise Terry Wogan exhausts.

I reckon with a PC3 and a decat I could expect another 10hp but as I mentioned earlier, it is all fairly pointless as the bike accelerates so fast as it is that you are struggling against wind blast after 110.

I need to get a bikini screen for it as that would help tremendously.

A decat and PC3 job is gonna cost at least £500 and apart from the braggin rights is not good value in my opinion.

Good to see that you guys are really in to the Corsaros!

Real World Bikes in Abedare - did either of you both buy bikes there and are they good? Might be aiming to have a MRC ride out there in the Spring of 2008 - any interest?

South Wales is a bit far / too much motorway for me from Berkshire, but come Spring it looks like a decent run in prospect (if I can keep up on a mere standard Corsaro...) :)

Ben and myself both bought bikes there.

They sell allsorts but specialise in exotic Italian - MV, Benelli and Moto Morini.

They have all the diagnostic & servicing equipment and seem pretty reasonable and friendly.

They are keen to promote the bikes and even bought a buggy and trailer at the NEC to take demo bikes to the local biker hotspots.

Power Commander

Post by mms »

Ben,

Out of curiosity - where does the PowerCommander fit on a Corsaro?
Was thinking of getting one, but wondered where it goes.

I have already had to throw away the tools (cr*p anyway) to make room for a puncture repair kit.
