That IS nice, and a reasonable asking price too. If someone had "always wanted one of those", this is their chance!

I wondered about this too... Pardon my ignorance, but is Dave a Guzzi icon or something?

I recall watching his show or another sister show, that was all M/C around 2004ish. I might even still have it on VHS. The featured MfJ was MG. They had an interview at the factory with the plant Manager, that was classic! The manager was a total Italian stereotype, I loved it! Dave talked about the very motorcycle shown here for sale. He said he loved Moto Guzzi for all the reasons we do. Dave seems like the real deal, I'm going to check out his show on MAV TV.

Cam,

A member of our Jersey group was "secretly" looking/interested in this same bike.
Hell, if I didn't already have the Coppa I would have gotten this one :drool

Yea, I got a PM too. But it's on their website, on the internet, so I'm guilt free. My recommendation was to BUY it!

Nice looking bike. Wish I could get a fairing for my V7 Cafe

Rocker should be along shortly. I have the 04 standard lemans. Only thing so far is tank vacuum and broken speedo cable.

at 75, doesn't medisomething cover the cataract surgery? I'm hoping it does since I just had the second eye done Tuesday, and they didn't say anything about my giving them money. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sweet bike. I just bought it's cousin off a fellow V11/ADV forum member... :)

Not this time Lannis. Just bought a '78 850 LeMans, and trimmed down my herd by one. A fellow Guzzi guy here in Jersey was asking me about it.

It's actually been almost three months since I bought a bike. I'm still in a sell mode.

This one is temping though. :drool

The V11 LeMans are some of my favorite Guzzi models, esp. this one and the Coppa Italia, as they've got Ohlins suspensions. I like the tri-color scheme of the Coppa Italia more than the Rosso Corsa, thought he rosso Corsa's fairing likely gives a lot better wind protection.

I hope someone buys this soon, or I might just end up being $7k poorer (Thanks, Kev & Cam :D).

we all agree its a beauty but who cares about Dave Despan? does he make the bike worth more ? LOL
This bike's been for sale for 3 months already.... 7 k is not a steal .

Three whole months? How do you sleep at night?

I had an 03 Rosso and the only problem that I had was the speedometer and given the miles on this bike it is either due to go bad or it was replaced. I'd certainly ask. I never had a problem with the Ohlins suspension and I read somewhere that keeping the bike vertical was recommended to eliminate a leak from the left fork. Don't know if that is true but the previous owner of Chuck's Rosso had to have his forks serviced and it wasn't cheap.

Other than the speedo, I had no problems with the bike.

Doubt any one does care. It's the pristine condition, low mile somewhat rare model. Not everyone looks to "steal" a bike. If so, go look for a standard V11 Sport.

I sleep well , ;D but every time i look at their website and i see this bike is still for sale, my bank account is in danger lol

i would have to get rid of my RK to make room for this one....I hope someone will buy it so my " thinking" will be over..

Cam , not everyone is looking for a steal , i agree with you. I just didn't like their selling "strategy" , mentioning the name of the first owner .
7k ? if i were in the market , i will pay that .
The muffler alone were something like 1 k back there.

Ha ha, oops should have quoted as I was actually responding to the fact that Jay hasn't bought a bike in 3 months lol, but I see the question equally applied to you. ;D

Cam3512 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 25, 2015, 08:20:31 AM »

Word is they would do $6,500 without too much haggling. Go see Rick in sales.

Only ONE of these in a sea of Road Kings....

Someone go for it before I pimp myself out on Craigslist for some extra cash (might take a while).
