Here you go Tim the original and best. One of my 750's and my 1000 ( with the Aprilia RSV in the background) Beautiful bikes both of them.

I've owned 3 MV's. Two 750's and a 1000 all from 2003-2005 and they were beautiful bikes with such fine engineering details and TIG welded frames. Phil

Thats got to be one of the most moronic videos I've ever watched. I won't get that 3 minutes of my life skipping through it back I'm afraid. Phil

What more "tacky" than wearing them, lol. Don't get me wrong I can enjoy "tacky" sometimes but if you're going to wear it then you gotta embrace whatever comments come your way. Phil

Won't fit I don't believe. Not only is the transmission different and will get in the way but the engine is also offset in the V11 Sport compared to the 1100 Sport. Phil

Depends on what 8 valve model you chose. The 2010-2013 had the notorious flat tappet issues and even if they have been rollerised a later model would be a safer bet. Remember if it's a flat tappet engine then it's going to fail guaranteed. I think either 2012 or 2013 was the last model from the factory with the flat tappet engine. Phil

Worth 12 minutes of your time. Phil

There's nothing to a rotor. It's just a round blob with magnets. Unless it's thrown a magnet or a magnet has migrated out and is touching the stator then there's nothing to go wrong. Why are people talking about belts and brushes? It's a V11 Sport isn't it? Phil

Can't get parts insured! whats that got to do with anything as the shipper of the parts. If the buyer accepts the risk then whats it to the seller. I send and receive plenty of stuff uninsured and a lot of it's in the many hundreds and sometimes several thousand dollars. Why, well if you've seen the insurance coverage fine print and ever tried to claim insurance for the odd thing thats gone astray you'd know. Phil

Ariete make seals for them https://motociclo.com.au/product/fork-seals-moto-guzzi-9401100-1200-ariete/

Has to be sanctioned by Guzzi though surely. With all the "Guzzi" mentions and the fact their lawyers try shutting down anyone that uses the name and logo unless it's them or sanctioned by them then the factory must have some involvement.

He made his choices. Phil

It's a concept drawing/cgi thing. I suspect it's a fishing exercise commissioned by Guzzi to test public reaction. Run it up the flag pole and see who salutes before they commit to creating a prototype. Phil

Soft, so soft

There's a name for it Pete apparently, the Softail shuffle. Phil

It's just a video of a Harley going into a speed wobble on a straight piece of freeway and spitting it's rider off. You see far worse get offs in every MotoGP race. The reasoning makes this amusing. Just search "Harley death wobble" on youtube. Phil

Say no more.

Yes the Gearbox will bolt up to the engine but the clutch will be different for the 5 speed. The ECU is different as previously mentioned. Phil

Six speed won't fit in a Centauro frame without a lot of modification as Pauldaytona will tell you and outlined on his website. Yes the engine is offset in the V11 Chassis so the front engine mount frame is different. Phil

He lives somewhere in the Sutherland shire I reccon Mick, maybe Como. I "think" I recognised Sutherland shopping strip and the Princes Hwy near Engadine both not far from where I used to live in Sydney. Phil

Ditto

I think you're dreaming and they are exaggerating. Some stuff maybe "anything" no. And what they can get re made will need to be in quantities. It's why places like HMB manufacture aftermarket replacement parts. Phil
