Maybe the hose is broken so often because they are wrongly put on? This is my third hose in 15 years! The second was becoming very soft and even thicker than original! Like the hose is put on now there should be a natural reflow when I stop the bike! Ok or not?
My breather hose is broken! So I pulled it of and ordered a new one. What is the correct way to put him on? Should the piece with the long neck be on the engine side or otherwise? Both ways seem to work. Ciao pille
Once I did 800km in 1 day with a girlfriend on the v11 that was NOT a lightweight!!
I do not know who was more tired, she or me???
After this ride she never wanted to go riding again....................
just wondering, how many v11 have been made? they started in 1998(?) and stopped in?
how many with a red frame, how many scura's, tenni's, coppa italia, lemans,..........
I am really curious what the numbers are.

its a model that never has been in production! was it 1995 or 96? I think it was a 750cc engine with a single shock on the rear. I think they used the engine for airplanes. the name was IPPOGRIFFO, not ippoROgriffo. I still can see it right in front of me!
I still don't understand it how you guy's do it??????????? is there someone in belgium or holland who wants to help me with this shit-job? I am willing to ride a lot of km's to get the job done!
HELP
dlaing, the neutral switch, where can I find it on the bike? I have the same problem with my bike. relays , battery, microswich on the clutch are ok. is it an easy fix, the neutral thing? sometimes it just won't start.

maybe the ohlins is the better suspension, and certainly more beautiful!! but the marzochi is far more maintenance free. the seals of the ohlins seems to go faster than the marzochi. if you do many miles, I would not change!

every sunday for about six weeks you must look at bbc2 at 10 o'clock. ewan mcgregor is making a trip to capetown with his friends. yesterday was the first part and it was great. althaugh they ride on bmw's, ewan is a real guzzi-guy. I think he owns a griso ans an california vintage.

this is about a guy who's doiing an really big trip through azia on a guzzi V11! he writes in flemish, but he writes perfect english too. if you send this guy an mail I am sure he will be very happy. I did so yesterday and today I got one back saying he was so pleased that an other V11 fanatic wrote him! We should all wish him good luck. come on guys, write him!!!!!
now on the clock 46000km
she's from 2001
I bought her 3years ago with 30000km.
gremlins : relais
rear wheel bearings
I thaught about selling her last week, someone offered me a really nice price, but then what? don't like the new models, and the 1100sport-series, which I do like, are not so reliable. so i'll keep her.
