Kickeroo Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Hello to everyone from Richmond VA, USA I'm cautious to announce an upcoming purchase of a 2000 V11 Nekked Sport. I will be checking it out Saturday, June 6, and first let me say that I truly appreciate all of the valuable information that is on this forum. I had some ideas of what to look for with this particular bike, and the forums adding in a lot of information I was not aware of. My main ride is a 2006 Triumph Thruxton, and the V11 would be my next step in acheiving a bike from every other country on the planet. (a BMW would be next, I guess, going from east-to-west, then Ural, Royal Enfield....you get the idea) If everything goes to hell and a handbasket with the one I'm looking at (it does need a bt of love) I'll stay on, because I m newly infected with this Moto Guzzi thing.
fotoguzzi Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 once you get a Guzzi you might just decide to stop in Italy... fergit BMW and the rest.. if you need more than another Guzzi have a look at the Duc's like the HyperMotard or MultiStrada.

Welcome to the forum, it's an engaging site, no doubt! And I have to say, even still lovin' my previous airheads, "These bikes are simply more moving to the owner, in terms of both body, and soul." Later, and good luck in your search...S.H.
Kickeroo Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 I've looked at it...and it needs some lova and attention. At this time, I am not posting any pictures, save one, if only to well, save the bike for me Attached is a shot of what I'm calling "the plate" which has been sun-bleached to pink. Is this common?
Admin Jaap Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 I see a red frame but a black swing arm. AFAIK both should be the same color. Looks like one has been replaced for whatever reason...

Admin Jaap Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 stock picture I found here MGv11 shows it to be correct. I'm, more concerned about the bleaching I stand corrected! WRT the bleaching... it's not that hard to take them off and have them repainted in the color you like. Look at it as an opportunity!
raz Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Attached is a shot of what I'm calling "the plate" Just for your information most of us call them the pork chops, I guess no explanation is necessary
Kickeroo Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 well...its gone, so no V11 for me, for now. I fully expect it to show up under someone elses' project thread. Oh well. I'm down, but not out. here it is/was. I'm sure it'll make someone else happy
Kickeroo Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 ...And like a bad habit...I'm back. Stay Tuned
docc Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 So, you've got a bead on something now? Hot foot yourself over to Tellico Plains in Tennessee for The South'n Spine Raid Seven/ Twenty-Eleven to oggle and peruse all manner of Guzzi. Ride whatever you have or even drive.
