I know it not a V11 - but thought it close enough. Anyways, somebody here might be interested. Seems like a good price: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/mcy/d/aptos-rare-moto-guzzi-1100i-sport/6837481690.html

Nice work, your Tenni looks great

I have used a couple of guys based out of Wyoming, they criss-cross the country 9 months out of the year shipping anything including motorcycles. They are super pro and update via GPS everyday. They take excellent care of their customers items. Feel free to reach out for their contact info if you want a quote.

Thank God I don't have a life and just spend all my time on the internet! Thank God I don't have a life and just spend all my time on the internet! All good Dave! Footgoose is selling me an extra of his.

I want it!!!! Let me know how to pay. Thanks

I've been thinking about this for a while before responding. Elevation equals reduced cylinder pressure, no exceptions. So that cannot be the source of your ping. I can say with certainty that the variability in pump gas out west was disconcerting and surprising. My 1100 Sport-i was sensitive to gas stops far more that it was to altitude. I never got pinging, but I did get noticeable weakness and a couple times generally unhappy low-throttle running. I don't believe for a second that either the octane number nor the alcohol listed on the pumps is a reliable indicator of what's going in the tank. Miles per gallon was the most noticeable difference, however. It varied between 45-ish in Georgia to 34-ish in New Mexico, though the performance aspect is not so apparent on those long flat fast stretches. NoCal and Washington State seemed the least consistent. Of course, none of this is scientific, only subjective- but over 10k miles one gets a good feel for what's going on. So I'll suggest that your condition is a symptom of local fuel quality. The worst tank I had by far was somewhere South of Sacramento. That was the general area that I fueled up before heading up into the mountains. Coincidence? I have always had issues with gas inconsistencies in the bay area.

Dang Dave, Beat me to the Roper plate.

Forgot to mention...I was concerned about the low octane fuel that we use in Cali with the high-comp pistons. Only time I have had an issue was at high altitude in the Sierra's in the summertime, it was around 95-100 degrees and 2-3k plus in elavation, some pre-detonation/pinging started to occur if I hit the throttle too hard. Normal bay area weather has no effect even with our crap 91 octane fuel.

Hi Kuni, My V11 has a built engine, no port work done though. We are both in the Bay, if you want to see how it feels compared to your Rosso, lets meet up and hit some back roads in Marin. Haven't ridden a Rosso, but this is my second V11, the first a red frame and my current a black, the original owner had the engine built when the "fuzzy" engine cases were replaced under warranty. Carrillo rods, high comp pistons, and cams - all built by Moto International in Seattle and dyno tuned. Runs like a scalded ape compared to my old red frame. Engine pulls hard up to the factory red line and revs freely. Take it for a spin and see if it can give you a good baseline of work you might want to do. I have all the invoices from the work done so you can see the parts if you want to add them to your work order. Only demand is I need to ride your Rosso:) I only have Ohlins on the rear and have always wondered how the front end feels. -Nick

If someone wants to make this whole again, I have a mostly complete greenie, the engine only has around 14k on it and ran great when I stopped riding due to a newer V11 that was purchased. All parts are for sale. Not trying to thread jack Scud

It's a great piece, I couldn't be happier with it. Definitely want to hear more about the forks! I have a set of silver forks that I am considering building out with these, but haven't seen any feedback on the interwebs.

I have the dyno charts from the previous owner of my new V11, I will try and post them tomorrow. It is a before and after the engine case (2002 flaky paint) was replaced by Moto International, new pistons and cams from FbF and Carillo rods. There is a noticable difference in power from my greenie, it doesn't run out of breath as soon either, must be the cams, and it seems to rev much faster.

Original spring finally let go today, glad I had this ready to install. Thanks again!

I just recently had an estimate at the only real Guzzi shop in NorCal and they said that another V11 was in the shop for over half a year for them trying to put back together. Just couldn't find parts anywhere. We all pretty much know this though right. Keep the shiny side up gents!

I brought this subject up with a buddy from Verona, he is a Harley rider but I tolerate him nonetheless. He said the most Guzzi riders in Italy only bring them out for touring or weekend riding and that they will usually ride Jap bikes and scooters the rest of the time.

Has anyone bought this yet? What is wrong with the inmates? Good luck Mike, I hope SD is treating you well. You prob don't remember me but we chatted about 5 years ago regarding some parts for a greenie I had just purchased. I live right across the bay from you in SF.

Rossopuro used to have them, no longer though. This is the response I received from them earlier in the year: Ciao Nick, unfortunately the spoken wheels for V11 is not avalable from long time. The bike is out of stock froma many years, so is to hard to produce a series of wheels. Thanks and best regards Filippo Barabane

I might have one...will have to check

Not sure if you found one, but I have a parts bike. Let me know if you still need the bracket. -Nick

Spent two weeks in Italy in mid-Sept, only saw 1 Guzzi. A tonti frame in need of some TLC riding around in central Rome. That was it, drove all over Southern Italy and didn't spot any others. Very surprising.

I have a Power Commander off my parts bike if you are interested. It is programmed for Mistrals and a stucchi crossover. Pretty sure their are also plenty of maps available for your setup. PM if you are interested.

This is super nice for someone looking for a touring setup. Good luck with sale rockers!

This custom green looks nice though: https://rochester.craigslist.org/mcy/d/2004-moto-guzzi-v11-cafe/6620292552.html

Tri-colore Wow, hurts my eyes a bit: https://lancaster.craigslist.org/mcy/d/beautiful-2001-moto-guzzi-v11/6630663400.html

Looks like this one is back after 4 years of riding. https://ventura.craigslist.org/mcy/d/2000-moto-guzzi-v11-sport/6630779529.html
