All,

Possibly also a member here? Anyway, would this bike be a good one for my desired light cruising bike? Weight is 487 pounds, seat height at top of my range of 31.5 inches, and has a Corbin now (higher or lower)?
Thoughts? Comments?
Got plenty of space in my garage, and Porsche shopping has been a bust lately.
Dang it is pretty. Bet it sounds nice too. Bet Mike at MPH could do the maintenance on top.

Looks like a nice one to me.. well maintained and equipped. Only you can tell whether you *like* a V11S or not. I do. :smiley:
-
Mighty purty....I like!

I bought one of those last August - same bike, same color. It is my 7th Guzzi and is the one I wish I had a bought many years ago. It does sound great and is a classic "muscle car" on 2 wheels.
I rode the bike back to Colorado from Minnesota in a day and a half. The footpeg position is a bit cramped for me and the bar positions puts a fair amount of weight on your wrists, but for the desired "light cruising" it should be great. I am 6'0", and on the long ride had to take frequent breaks, but they were all the better to admire the beauty of the bike!. And at 80+ mph the wind holds you up and keeps the weight off your wrists.
Every Guzzi aficionado needs a V11 at some point. It is the most Guzzi of them all IMO
-
That price looks like very good value, especially considering the low mileage, few and well-documented owners, and the many spares and tidbits that are included. Let's hope those are just paint cracks in the pork chops.
The bottom-feeder in me (Guzzi content) would be inclined to wait out the auction and put in a late bid to try to get it below the Buy-it-Now price. But shoot, B-i-N is pretty good anyway. Pull the trigger.

What Bob says. I've posted before... if you snooze, you lose. If you're happy with what you see.. I am.. just pay the man. <shrug> What's a few bucks in the long run? :smiley:

LD talk to Mike I think he knows Johnson and the bike.

GET THAT IN ONE MINUTE! I tried to come up with cash to buy that a few Months ago but couldn't swing it.. distance and money flow didn't work out for me..
I'll say it again, GET it NOW..
that is a very well kept machine with nice add on's !!!!!!
-
Sounds like an endorsement to me. Man alive. Gonna sleep on it. If I go forward: contact owner, drive to Dallas Wednesday before Ebay auction expires, and see if he will let me sit and perhaps test ride if I bring full price check. If I fall in love with the bike, pull trigger and figure out best way to get it down here. Looks like a great deal to me, and the bike definitely tweaks my heart strings.
Is the bike too heavy for me? Can I handle it? Is the geometry similar to V7R, or a bit more upright?
It should have more grunt than my V7R, right? Is it a five speed transmission?
Yep, gonna meditate on this one (literally) and seek an answer.
Thanks!

Mr. Knowles is a true gentleman. He takes good care of his bikes.
What is your interest on your spare cash at the bank? Stock market making you money? I'm not saying you'll make money on this bike, but what is the price of enjoyment?
Tex
-
Is the bike too heavy for me? NO Can I handle it? YES Is the geometry similar to V7R, or a bit more upright?
It should have more grunt than my V7R, right? ABSOLUTELY! Is it a five speed transmission?
Yep, gonna meditate on this one (literally) and seek an answer.
Thanks!
NO IT'S THE VERY FLUID WORKING 6 SPEED.. if you snooze you may loose but this bike is worth $5k anytime!
your SB with sit in the corner with envy from then on!

I doubt it. Probably.

I've never ridden a V7R, but I imagine they are similar.

BWAHHHHAAAA

Chuck,
This could be my dream Guzzi? Contacted seller on eBay with question on Corbin seat height. Would do a full price, but only after sitting on bike, and hopefully a short ride.
So, a bit more punch than my small block huh? Six speed!!
What about the instruments, does it have a trip odometer to keep track of mileage? What is the range of the bike on a tank of gas?
Rode my V7R today and had a blast. Yet....I have always wanted a Guzzi that gives me that "hold on, here we go" dV/dT of my Triumph Triple.
Oh man.
-

Punch like a light weight vs Mohamed Ali or at least KungFu..the V11 can lift the front wheel at ease..
of course there's a trip meter. range about 180 miles or less if you ride like me..
LD, get there tomorrow and see/buy it.. your retired right? what else you got to do.. but tomorrow..

I had a scura, yes it was bad ass

MPH had one a few years ago. One of the WG members in Michigan asked me to test ride it for him. I did, and the guy wound up purchasing it. From time to time I regret not buying it myself.

Dream Guzzi? Dunno. Only you will. The Mighty Scura is my all time favorite bike, but it's not completely stock. <shrug> I'll say this, though.. if you like a raw elemental motorcycle, you'll love it. Since the V11S series, the current owners of Guzzi have been pussifying working on making them more user friendly.. :evil: :smiley:

As noted by some other folks in the thread, that is my V11 Le Mans. Regarding your questions:
I do not like heavy motorcycles myself. The only time it has ever felt heavy to me was when I had it heavily loaded for camping. Can't really blame the bike for that. :-)
A stock V11 Le Mans would have geometry similar to your Racer. I added lower and forward foot controls and clip ons with 3" rise over stock and hand position a couple of inches closer to the rider than stock. Still Sport Touring, but adjusted away from the "Sport" side and toward the "Touring" side. Transmission is six speed.
It won't rip you off of the handlebars, but yes, it will have more grunt than your V7. I never had a situation where I felt it was lacking in the power department. It does want to be above 2500 RPM to be happy, like most Guzzis. Transmission is six speed.
Oh...the cracks in the pork chop paint are indeed only in the paint (been trying to figure out how to paint 'em for years).
-
KJ, all:
Much thanks! What a helpful and responsive bunch of Guzzistas!
32 inch seat works.
Two more questions please: it is a mono shock, right? How difficult is it to adjust to my low weight (170 with boots on).
And here is the BIG one: tell me about the clutch--is it a "Popeye" style requiring huge hand strength? I have fairly small hands, but no issues with V7R and Triumph STRX. But, if the V11 clutch is a stiff set up: a big negative.
Had my meditation: good vibes. Love the video!
Might have a hard time sleeping tonight... :drool:
-
no, it's hydraulic! no cable.. better buy it soon .. you need video to convince ?

It is a monoshock and requires a certain amount of "bike disassembly" to adjust the preload. That is why I leave the touring preload when I ride unloaded.
The clutch is hydraulic and, like most hydraulic clutches, pretty easy effort. I would not be surprised if it is lighter than your V7R.

Foto,
Dang you are good at videos!! I have my GoPro, and was just thinking I need to re-learn how to use it, and take a riding video and learn to edit. It has sat since Christmas because of our move to new house.
So, let me confirm: a hydraulic clutch? That is the extra reservoir on left side bars? Easy on the hand? By any chance are the levers adjustable too?
Dang. Dang. Only five grand. Hell of a lot more interesting than the BMW F800GT to me.
-
KJ,
Likely Mike at MPH could set the mono shock up for my weight. Right now I bet it is stiff for a small guy like me.
Hydraulic clutch is very good news.
Damn. Let me sleep on it. I will PM you Monday morning.
Grazia,
Lucydad
-
I wish I could speak to the bike but I never bought one.
When they were available, it seemed redundant to my '95 Sport.
Now, I look at it as the SP1000 of it's time and think myself a goof for not buying one new - regardless of the Spot.
Someone here has a hell of a rack/bag set-up on theirs for you to copy for your touring.
Todd.

If my yard was dry I'd dig up the money and come over and buy the Guzzi just to have a clean one.

Yes on all counts. If I can borrow a couple of lock ring spanners for the shock, I can crank it down for you before a test ride. I can't seem to find mine (but I will keep looking).

What about the instruments, does it have a trip odometer to keep track of mileage? What is the range of the bike on a tank of gas?
The bike has a 5.45 gallon fuel tank. It will return high 30s to 40 mpg. I used to refuel mine in the 160-170 miles range and it would take 3.8 - 4.0 gallons of fuel. Seems like the light always came on with 3.6 - 3.7 gallons consumed. So, the bike should be able to make 200 miles, though I never did that on my Nero Corsa.
-
I've gone 200 miles on a tank a couple of times, but was a bit nervous by that time. My fill amounts pretty much mirror yours, Rocker. Fuel light typically comes on between 145-160. I'm ready for a break by that time. (Not an Iron Butt candidate.)
KJK
-
I went and laid eyes on this bike 2 years ago when the owner had it listed on E-bay. Other than the cosmetic defects the owner has described, (the corners of the fairing are chewed up, flaking paint) I found it to be a very solid bike. All the modifications add quite a bit of value. I didn't test ride it, but he started it right up. I was going to make a bid on it when the owner abruptly ended the auction early, which is of course his right.......
-
All,
May I ask this question about the V11 bike geometry please? Background is my cafe-sporty V7R geometry gives me back pains after a hundred miles or so. I really identified this issue after buying the more upright STRX 675 Triumph. I can ride the Triumph with much more comfort.
Anyway, my biggest concern on pulling the trigger on Johnson's very fine machine: will the V11 sporty geometry give me the same issues as my V7R? What say you V11 owners?
Johnson adjusted the pegs to be more forward. That may help.
On the fence here on the bike. Doing my due diligence like a typical engineer. Pros and cons. Vulcan time. I prefer not to make a mistake.
thanks in advance!
-
LD,
With the higher bars and forward peg mods that have been done to this V11 LM, I would think seating position closer to the Triumph than to the V7R.
I ran my V11 LM with stock clipons and stock pegs for over 40,000 miles with no back pain. Many 500 to 1000 mile days. I know I'm the exception, but just pointing out how personal seating geometry on motorcycles can be.
I did always want to try slightly higher bars. This one looks like it would be really comfortable.
These bikes are pretty fast and handle well. Lots of fun. Plus, you can add Hepco & Becker racks and tour on the thing.
-
Again, only you can tell. It also has bar risers. If your back is hurting, you need to get to the gym and build up your core and thigh strength. <shrug>
Doing my due diligence like a typical engineer.
There comes a time in every project when you have to shoot the engineer and commence production. :smiley:
-
Rocker, Chuck:
Very helpful! Significant data point now logged and put into stochastic simulation. Processing...proces sing...AI pondering.
Chuck, you sound like Dr. McCoy. Made me laugh out loud. Yes, this afternoon's plan is to gym with focus on core. Been working that strength, but probably not enough. Retirement has resulted in ten pounds weight loss, and much better physical conditioning. Bicycle riding helps.
Thanks again for all the guidance. I knew little about V11s until this opportunity rose like a trout to appear in the clear water.
-
I've mentioned this before, but when I was a young lad in my early 60s, I was upset because I just couldn't ride sport bikes any more. Bought a cruiser. Boy, was *that* a mistake. :smiley:
At any rate, Dorcia decided to try to kill me and hired a personal trainer. I thought I was in pretty good shape for an old fart, I was still exercising regularly, riding bicycles, etc.
He thought otherwise, and told me my core strength sucked. After he built up my core strength, I had no problems on sport bikes again. There's a reason for those thigh indents in the fuel tank. :smiley: If you are putting any significant weight on the bars, you are doing something wrong. <shrug>
Even after having some pretty serious surgery and cut abdominal muscles, I can still ride sport bikes, but I'm having to build up to it a day at a time.
-

LD- Don't know if you realize but there has not been a single negative comment posted about that bike. I bought an '02 identical to the one your looking at just over a year ago with 3,300 actual miles on it. I have two other bikes and the LM is my go to everyday ride. Mine came with the handlebar risers which is very comfortable for my 5'9" frame, 32" reach and can easily do 350-400 mile rides in one day. I have added the H/B rack and hard bags in anticipation of an extended ride possibly to Nova Scotia this summer. Here in Florida the posted speed limit is 70 which everyone must think is just a suggestion as most people are doing in excess of 80. The LM has no trouble at that speed and will easily return 40+ MPG.
Don't hesitate, BUY THE BIKE!!! With all the accessories added that will make a wonderful all around use bike, put the racks and bags on for touring, or remove them for the Sunday "sport dash" thru the back roads. It will put a big grin on your face every time you ride it.
An added benefit with this particular bike is you are dealing with another Forum member who has obviously maintained and cared for this bike as others have commented. Good luck and enjoy.
-
One question .
WTH is an "actual mile"? :laugh:
Dusty
-
True mileage, still had original tach/speedo and tires. Odometer had not been messed with to show mileage lower than what was actually on the bike.
-
'02 was the year for engine paint failure and motors would look like they have warts or leprosy. Hopefully, the problem is as minor as it is on my LeMans.
-
There comes a time in every project when you have to shoot the engineer and commence production. :smiley:
Many's been the time I've said that. My last piece of advice is to pull the trigger (but not while pointing at the engineer). Even if you don't find it to your liking you'll probably be able to move it along to another owner for little or no loss.
Your biggest risk is not that you'll buy a bike you end up not liking. It's that you'll dilly-dally and miss out on what appears to be a fine example of the breed.
-
Yeah, Bob.. I think he's waiting for somebody else to punch the buy it now button. :smiley: If I was in the market that would already have been done. :grin:

I've only had my Rosso Corsa for a month and have put less then a 1,000 miles on it. But all I can tell you is that in over 30 yrs of riding, I've never ridden a bike that is as responsive and rewarding to ride at either a relaxed or spirited pace.
Just a fantastic motor and riding experience. Plenty of useable power, but not stupid power like my previous K1300s which really wasn't very interesting unless ridden at arrest me speeds. Seems like a pretty low risk decision , as others have already mentioned, if for some reason you don't mesh with the bike you should be able to sell it with minimal or no loss.
-
All,
Wow, what a peanut gallery! LMFAO....
Mike at MPH said "do it". There is one remaining switch: HQ.

LD...you know I went down a couple weeks ago to Corpus and bought the blue Cali EV that showed up here one day, same situation...beautif ul bike, great comments and history here on how to fix anything that goes wrong, low mileage etc. etc. Pull the trigger!! I'll even offer you my trailer if you want to drive up and get it. Don't let it slip out of your fingers...or someone else might Paypal the amount this afternoon...hint hint!! :thumb: :thumb:
You could always buy it as a "present" to Mrs. LD...honey...I bought you something nice you can enjoy out in the garage! :)

All,
To the point: Spock won over Bones. Logic over emotion.
Fact: I am a poor motorcycle mechanic. My bifocals struggle to focus on small parts Had big struggle that I gave up on just this morning trying to install a Dart windscreen on my Triumph-- original flyscreen replace not as easy as described in instructions..
Fact: simple is good, and a prime retirement goal is less stuff, and more experiences.
Fact: we are still busy as hell assembling this new house, with lots of unpacking, etc yet to achieve
Fact: I have two wonderful bikes, and if I get a light touring bike, ABS is a key goal.
Fact: HQ reminded me of all the above, and she is much smarter than I am.
Thanks for all the help. I truly appreciate the comments. Johnson as owner has been fantastic: incredible communication and transparency. All the discussion should reveal a BUYER for this fine V11, at full price.

Good to hear Dave - hope the healing goes well.
The Cali thing just happened...wasn't anything planned! But turned out to be a good thing and too good a deal to pass up!

One of you V11 fans has to bid on Johnson's fantastic deal!! Come on, let's see some action.
-
I was going to pipe in that to me, the Breva 750 was obviously lighter than my V11 and I believe your V7 Racer isn't far off from a Breva 750 in weight.
Personally, I'd think the new V9 platform (if adapted to standard) would be your best bet.

AlanP,
My V7R and Triumph 675 STRX pretty much check both heart and mind boxes: heart and mind. Still looking for a light touring bike with good wind protection, upright geometry, reasonable weight, and modern storage and ABS brakes. Sooner or later.
Took STRX out yesterday for about 80 miles. Dang what a fun bike. Rode to Rosharon to view the just below flood stage Brazos River. Bike gave no problems after the no-idle abrupt die side of busy rode episode over a month ago. Building confidence in the bike again.
Saw where Johnson's incredible, fantastic, just right everything V11 Le Mans has one bid on eBay. Come on you V11 fans: get your checkbooks out. This bike deserves full price.
-
My spiney is a great handling bike. It has good midrange and can handle the canyon roads with anything up to a 100. enough for me.
If you're a perfectionist, you might want to know if the rash on the fairing can be fixed and paint matched.

Light touring bikes. Beemer F800GT. I have heard they fixed the vibration problems from the ST version. If they didn't cost so much I'd go try one. I had a Honda NT700 and it was pretty good. I just would have liked a little less weight and/or a little more power. Until then my T5/SPIII mix works well and I'll stick with it.
-
Less than 3 hours left to bid on this incredible V11!!
Come on, you know you want it.
-
That sure is a fine specimen. :drool:
Very nicely appointed. Anybody who just wants a stock bike could probably sell about $1,000 worth of aftermarket parts from that one and get it for a very low net price. Heck, just the shop stand is worth a few hundred bucks, then the racks/bags, extra seat, etc.
If I didn't already have two of them........

Hey...you stirred up this hornet's nest, I think it's only right that you buy it now Greg and sell the Triumph to some other avid rider so you can have a pure 2 Guzzi garage - undiluted by the Trooommmppphhh... :)

20 or so minutes to go, and still priced too low. We'll see if the robots run it up in the last 30 seconds.
-
Somebody got a hell of a deal. $3995. :rolleyes: Easily worth another thousand, but at this particular time that's all it brought. I feel bad for the seller..
-
Don't feel bad for me, I got massive amounts of enjoyment from the Le Mans during the time I owned. Well worth the price of ownership. While I would have been happy to have gotten a higher price, it isn't like I need the money to eat, or otherwise survive. I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I did. :smiley:

I came VERY close to sniping it at the end...indecision got the best of me. :sad:
I've been Guzzi-less and motorcycle-less since 2001, when I sold my '95 Sport 1100. I thought that bike would look great with a Tenni green respray.

Late to the party but I had the same rash on one side from a phantom low speed, low side in the garage. I got a recent quote to color match and repaint. it was about $380. I got a new one from Italy via Moto International for around $425 or so. One of the last red ones on the planet.
