Rox Lemans

If I only had the garage space....

I have the Ghezzi Brian huggers on both my V11s. Saw the one Scud had and needed one. Then another...😁 It opens up the rear and shows off that trellis swing arm. It also shows off the 18 years of plastic over a painted steel trellis swing arm..Totally worth it though.

You said the same thing to me 5 years ago on the "Scura " ride... 😁😁😁 You're right. Just far less of them.

I can answer this(and you'll probably not like the answer). You'll have to go to a bodyshop or custom painter. I needed the red for my 02. There was 1 place in the US that had touchup and paint for Guzzis. And for v11s they had I think tenni green, guzzi red, and some of the flat silvers and greys. Not my red. Called Guzzi America/Piaggio in NYC. They had nothing. No color code, nada. It was if Aprilia bleached everything in the change to Piaggio or something. A good custom painter or bodyshop will be able to match it perfect since paint color can change with sun exposer and time. I used Colorzone in Huntington Beach, CA. Send him a sample part with the paint color and he will make it.

The best performance mods I've done is the crossover and pipes and the ECU flash. I did the airbox top removal and put the aluminum frame to hold the air filter in on one v11 and airbox on the other. Not a big difference performance wise. But I will admit the sound of the air sucking into the motor sounds pretty sweet. But the best perfomance upgrade? The ECU. It just unleashes the bike.

Forum won't let me post a pic bigger than .2mb. Ugh.

If I was still in Jersey that bike would of been in my garage dayscafter ther posting.

Breaking in that suede today....

Im sure itll darken with wear.. When I got it I didn't think it was going to be still in new condition. 18 year old seat and it still has the suede fuzz. Impressive.

A Sport vs Lemans? Basically the same. Earlier (pre 2002) apparently had a shorter wheelbase... Where it can get different is with the Ohlins equipped vs Sachs/Marzocchi. The ride is a bit different. Also maybe Scura vs Sport... The Scura has a single plate performance clutch and aluminum flywheel . Faster revs... To me the biggest difference is the suspension. My Scura is a different animal (good and bad) than my Lemans although the same bike..

Bought me a Tenni seat for my Lemans... Thoughts? Sexy with suede on red or is it a lazy wannabe Tenni? 🤣 https://photos.app.goo.gl/bJ5Eo6Cv9pqFRD1W9[/img]

Red and grey.. lots of carbon unobtainium...

The Moto Morini Milano that I wish they still sold in the US and an MZ Skorpion Replika which through time became unobtainable. And a V11 Tenni.. No need for a pic. We all know what those look like....

It's a sign of low voltage. Mine blows if the battery is low and keep trying to start it. It's somewhat rare but it happens.

C'mon... We all know....🤣🤣🤣 Parts bin bike. Probably a wrecked 02 Sport with various bodywork. Dude, if he gets $4500 for that I'm selling my Lemans for $8000 with free info on beach front property in Tucson. 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta get it colormatched. And I think Guzzi did it for a reason. These 2 colors (candy red and the champagne) changes colors over time. My Lemans over years in the California sun has a hue of orange(which imo is gettin better with age) and the champagne Ive seen lighten to a beige and change to more of a gold. I went looking for color codes to get my seat cowl painted to match the red and not the grey and it was like looking for the National Treasure. I took it to a paint shop with a sample panel and had it matched...

These bikes are known for eating voltage rectifiers. For a while I thought mine had a short somewhere in the wiring. After a while the voltage rectifiers just go. One thing I do that seems to help is when I don't ride I keep the bike on a battery tender. Just in case. But if the battery is low and you keep cranking the starter with low voltage you fuse WILL pop.

I have 2. A Lemans and a Scura... Well cared for representing in Tucson.

I discovered a small deposit of unobtainium in the upside down country of Australia. I managed to bolt it onto my Lemans before it could fly away....

I think you just convinced me to do highpipes.

Got to ride the Lemans today after a month. She was pissed. Typical Italian qualms. Hard start, let out a drop of oil from the crank, then when I went off the speedo danced for a mile. After that mile though she got over it and hammered the Tucson hills. Never let a V11 sit. Vindictive lil b!tch...🤣🤣🤣

If you're looking for affordable pipes for the V11 that are good check. Mivvs .
