I just had my 60th birthday so what better way to celebrate than to purchase a new to me 2001 V11Sport.

Came with a few accessories such as hardbags and Teckno soft pannier's Staintune exhaust, centre stand, heated grips and a few more items. Couldn't be happier. Heres a few pictures:

With the hard bags on

Well done, my favorite V11

Second coolest Guzzi ever made, and it has to be in Green. A few years back a friend many folks in the Guzzi community know of, Sergio DeSouza came up with a perfect description of the color, Electric Urin! Its my favorite modern Guzzi. Only slightly out shined by the 83 LeMans III in red.

Enjoy!

NICE! I don't think that color came on a 2001 tho.. I think it's a 99 or 2000.

Up here in the great white north they came in three colours in 2001, black, silver metallic and Guzzi green metallic. http://canadamotoguide.com/2001/01/27/test-ride-moto-guzzi-v11-sport/

I wondered which is the coolest?

Oh, to be 60 again, and with a bike like that!
You're a lucky man!

Be still my beating heart! If ever I was to venture into 'vintage' Guzzis, this would be the one. Is it as pristine as it looks in the pics?

Stunningly beautiful bike in a stunningly beautiful location, begging to be ridden, did you mention the mileage ?

Second that. I especially like the quicker steering of the early bikes.

Huzo, it has 59,000 km(40,000 miles) O, in real life it looks the same, pristine!
Thanks everyone for the compliments.

I'll add mine if it's not too late. That really looks like a ready-to-go, mile-munching bike, with nice upgrades. Looks like the upgrades include the position of the grips, I assume aftermarket bars?

I like the basic riding position; I believe I'd be able to adjust all that to fit me perfectly and I hope it will fit you the same ... !!

Lannis, the previous owner installed Moto Evoluzione footrest relocator kit and MPH adjustable handlebar kit. The bike is very comfortable. Like you said a mile-munching bike.

Yes very much so!

Happy Birthday
A beautiful bike and lots of years to enjoy it.

The sticker in my manual says 21/06/2002
ZGUKRAKR91M113775

But the insurance calls it a 2001, I don't understand that
