What can you tell me about the V11 GT?
Travlr:
I enjoy touring on my Scura and the spine frame bikes are my favorite Guzzi's.
But the still born V11GT prototype sticks in my mind as a bike I would have really liked. A real sport touring V11.
Who can recall any details about the bike?
The fairing bears a resemblance to the Norge. But a V11 would ride differently.
Here are a few pics.

It was only shown a couple times. It never got beyond prototype. It died when Aprilia took over in '99/'00.
It was built on the Centauro/Daytona RS/Sport 1100i spine frame. Engine is the 2vpc Sport 1100i unit. Styling was by Luciano Marabese.
It would've been a nice alternative to the BMW R1100RT of the time, though sportier.
Notice the nostrils on the front side edges of the fairing. I'm sure those feed the pressurized airbox of the Daytona RS/Sport 1100i.
It would've been a popular bike.

Hard to say. Why wasn't the SP III, Norge more popular? I'll bet it's because there aren't more competent dealers around. :'(

When they first showed it, I told myself that if they ever build that, I will have one. They didn't, but I got in line for a Norge. I think I would have preferred the V11, but that's just water over the bridge.
