Rox Lemans

I have both a Mistral on one bike and Stucchi on the other. The Mistral is certainly better made. Heck, the Stucchi doesn't even line up the muffers right. One points up higher than the other if ther pipes aren't on the subframe bracket.

Did the number plates go that high, or did Guzzi merely make double number plates like Ducati did with their limited edition Sport Classics. I remember showing up at a ride in Connecticutt where 2 guys showed up with the same limited edition numbered bike. You remember the 1000 Sports that came in the black and gold?

Don't V11s already have high compression piston? A bore out to maybe 1290 would be really nice.. Port and polished heads help, but it isn't life changing. Valves and springs help. Without cracking open the motor, airbox mod, full exhaust, fueling... 85ish rwhp.. + or - a hp...(more like minus)And that is friggin good... I chatted with Todd about doing this despite not having the disposable income at the time. A 1084 bored out and on its best day I think he said low to mid 90s.Kinda not worth to get that little extra and risk reliability issues. I'm happy with my mid 80s on both my Lemans and Scura..Oh, the lighter flywheel? Not a whole lot of help. The motor just revs quicker..And to be honest, the heaver flywheel makes these bikes sound and feel a little better, but that's me. My Scura, thought I love it, the single plate clutch can be a little too snappy. I've broken traction traction in the ass end entering corners more than I'd like to..How I don't have a skidmark on my seat from almost crapping myself is an enigma.. That little bit of slip in the Lemans is kinda nice..

$5500?

The feeling is actually a bit significant to stock. They say these bikes did 80ish out the factory. BHP, maybe. I'm getting that at the wheel. Maybe 10-12hp over stock. But also how that extra 10-12hp is delivered. They just pull much harder and smoother than stock. Anyone who tells you you'll get 20-25hp with an exhaust and a tune is lying or just embelishing. An Aprilia RSV-4? Yes, you'll get 20hp with an ecu tune and exhaust system. These aren't Aprilia RSV-4s. 80rwhp bone stock seems a little high. Maybe I should have mine done again because my setup pulls WAY harder than a stock V11..

I had it dynoed after I had my LeMans done in 2016 or 2017, but don't know where it is. It was on a PDF. If I can find it, I'll post it. With a Mistral crossover, silencers and an open airbox with a K&N, It was between 8-11hp at the wheel over stock. Teetered in the mid 80's rwhp I But I guess that about as much as you can get without cracking open the engine. But it feels more due to the throttle responsiveness.

Something about that friggin purple with grey with the V11 that is sexy..

You're correct. Just ran out to see what was on my LeMans.. Bitubo..Cerebral flatulence.. I find the Bitubo to be better than the Öhlins on my Scura.

Depends what you want to spend. Bitubo makes a great dampener. But you can also take your dusty Marzocchi or Öhlins dampener and have it rebuilt. I have both. I kinda prefer the Marzocchi.

Have you looked at the ad section here?

Not exactly the response I'd expect from a bunch of V11 guys..

I guess that makes mine a bit of a bargain? But hey, if your wanna give me $7k instead of 5, I'll take it.. I'd rather be happy and sell a Guzzista a good bike instead of making a fast buck and worry about a squid destroying it. Scud knows my style. Just another passionate Guzzi guy like you guys.

Some sunset shots to show off the candy..

Some ideas.

Managed to make this. Forgot about the seat.. A Tenni seat. Black is available.
