The Buell footpegs worked really well for me. Big difference in leg room. It takes a little bit of modification but not too bad, and you have to adjust the shifter and brake lower. They are pretty inexpensive too, at least in the US. Those Vario pegs look lower but I think you will have trouble with getting the shift lever low enough, and maybe the brake too. Guzzitech has adjustable shifter/brake pedal tips. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8491 http://www.guzzitech.com/store/product/gt-eccentric-folding-toe-peg/

I love the Sertao. It's comfortable and smooth enough to ride all day, other than the seat, which will be addressed in time. Offroad, it has really surprised me with it's capabilities. I always seem to get into way more difficult terrain than I mean to and the bike will get through steep, rough, rocky desert amazingly well. The 4 or so gallon tank is small but I always get 60-65 mpg so the range is pretty good. I had an 1150 GS for 115k miles and now I think I should have had a 650 the whole time. Other than the power difference this bike will do everything the big bike would do. I don't miss the power and I have always liked big singles. I do love my K bike too. I'm collecting parts to convert it to paralever right now. Sorry for getting a bit off-topic.

I switched the other way. I had a 2014 V7 Stone. All my riding is above 4000 ft elevation, up to around 9000. The V7 just didn't seem to have any power to speak of, not enough to be fun pulling out of corners. It was adequate near sea level. There didn't seem to be anything to do to get more power out of it. Handling was good, brakes decent, suspension sucked(harsh). I later found my Rosso Corsa. It still loses a lot of power up high, but that just means I have to rev it higher and the fun comes back. It's a lot heavier but I'm working on that. I like that the V11 has so much potential and upgrades possible. It's definitely a keeper for me.

Or maybe you are the first person in the whole world to connect GuzziDiag while the transmission is out of the bike... But I got bored waiting for my parts!

Hi, I figured I would post something after lurking for a year or so. I learned something that would have saved me about 3 hours today. On my Rosso Corsa, Guzzidiag etc will not connect with the ECU unless the bike is in neutral or the sidestand is up or both. I'm surprised not to read about this in this thread or others. My transmission(gearbox) is off at the moment hence no neutral switch and the sidestand was down. I grounded the neutral switch wire after I ran out of other things to try and oboy! it finally connects. It may still take the rest of my life to understand how all this works. Maybe this can help keep someone from pulling all their hair out. Or maybe it was obvious to everyone but me!
