unborn

hi to everyone and thank you for your answers. i was searching for the info about the v11 for almost a week and finally decided to get the bike. so i went to the seller (private seller) with a friend of mine who is good in bikes. but after almost an hour of useless attempts we couldn't turn the bike on because of a dead battery. as the owner of the bike was leaving for 2 weeks for vacations we had agreed to meet again after the 7th of december with a new battery. i was very close to buy the bike, i had money in my pocket and was ready to pay for it right in place. but now, when i have more then two weeks to think it over i'm full of doubts. want to see closer fz1n and cb1000r=)) p.s. hi to russian americans=)) ye, we don't have many italian bikes here, you're in a big trouble if you need some parts or even oil service.

is it ok as an every day bike? the v11 i wanna buy has just 950 km on it. so it' almost new, and it doesn't need any repair and hope won't need in the nearest future. also i wonder what is gonna happen to the engine if i have even a small crash, for example: i will drop it on a side? are there any sliders or something i can install to protect it.

hello, i'm new to moto world and especially what is considering Moto Guzzi. i think i don't have to explain to the forum members why i fell in love with v11 coppa italia first time i saw him. but i'm a little bit concerned about servicing the bike we don't a have a moto guzzi official dealer here in moscow=(( so, i'm wondering is it a problem to order parts from ebay or elsewhere? maybe some of you are in the same situation? need you advice, please thanks
