Bought it, Got it, Love it

[df2]

Okay, so I, after all the back and forth and questions about changing this and what if that, got the 2000 v11 sport. 8,300 miles, magni fairing, mistral mufflers, cross-over, chip. Plus the original bars, mirrors and fairing as well as side, back and tank bags.

 

First impressions, this is a real motorcycle, a man's man bike. Strong, tourqie, awesome growl. Tuesday's she's going to the moto-guzzi dealer for a thorough check up, since I am not used to her and can't diagnose anything based on sound and feel yet. This is more for peace of mind and to create a relationship with the service techs than anything else. She does have a short somewhere along the turn signal wiring thought, so that will be fixed. (keep blowing the directional fuse).

 

Anyway, wow. She's pretty, fun to ride, different and a whole lotta fun, and the mistral pipes have such a nice sound. My father-in-law took her out for a ride and all he could say was WOW!

 

I'll post a pic after I've cleaned and shined her up real nice...

 

PS. Thanks to everyone who gave their advice, offered help and encouragement.

Congrats David. The best part is the more you ride it the more you'll like it.

At 8300 miles you're not even close to break-in yet. It only gets better and better

Good luck it really does get better

yeah you need at least 10k for everything to be seated properly, then she's good for about 200,000
