belfastguzzi Posted September 5, 2009 Posted September 5, 2009 Which of the newer (carc-type) bikes, or let's just say post-V.11, do Forum members have? Add yourself to the list: Breva1100 Brushwarrior (England) – Dimitris (Greece, Macedonia, Thessaloniki) – ABS 2006 (40.000 kms on the clock) [V11 Le Mans, '98 1100 Sport] 1200 Sport Jaap (Netherlands) – 2008 [V11 LeMans 2001] Antonio (Netherlands) – V11f (France) – Norge 1200 Mark 909 (Brisbane, Australia) – GT 2007 [Tenni] Griso 1100 GuzziMoto (first one in the state of Maryland. B'more, MD) – 2007 [2000 V11; '93 Daytona 1000] Griso 1200 8V Belfastguzzi (Northern Ireland) – 2008 [V11 Scura, '84 LeMans Mklll] Pete Roper (Australia) – (2008?); Griso 1100 Stelvio 4V Paul M (Netherlands) – 2009 Philmac (Coventry, England) – 2008 (ex-Guzzirider) ['76 850T3] V7C Sign216 (Massachusetts, USA) – 2009 Wierd Sisters (hybrids?) Greg Field [1973 850 Eldorado USA – it may soon be sporting a CARC] – are you serious Greg? That's just a quick start: please correct / add to the list. It would be great to see more reports on experience with the different models. E.g. I'd like to hear more about the 1200S as it looks like a good sport-tourer and I know Jaap & Ant have been out and about on theirs.
Guzzirider Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 2008 Stelvio (originally owned by Guzzirider!) (previoulsy green 2000 V11 Sport - sold to a dutchman!) Phil How is she Phil? Did you enjoy yor trip to France?
belfastguzzi Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 1973 850 Eldorado here in the states that may soon be sporting a CARC. Serious?
belfastguzzi Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 Put your info in a post, then I'll add it to the top post list. Thanks
Philmac Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Guy Went well in France and very comfortable! Since back the alternator has failed (warranty job) and I 've had the latest maps uploaded - makes the low speed throttle response much smoother and sorts out the hunting/surging at 3000rpm. I've done 2 more UK trips with wife on the back - very successful. See you've bought an ST - how's that performing? Phil

Phil My friend Andy's alternator failed recently on his 1200 Sport as well- seems to be a reasonably rare issue though. Glad you got it sorted and are enjoying her. Triumph is good fun- very different from a Guzzi!
Admin Jaap Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Something different: Yesterday I was looking at the Vuelta (bicycle race in Spain) and I saw a white Stelvio with the passenger taking pics of the riders! Normally the "press motards" are all on BMWs (mostly flying bricks...)
antonio carroccio Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 Are you looking for a new hobby Jaap?
antonio carroccio Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I know why you were looking and I am proud too about him.
borderer Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 + 1 for 1200 sport running up to 15000 miles now and yos it makes a great all day tourer and is quick enough to be Interesting
thebuddha Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Just joined here. I'm in Austin, TX and I ride a 2007 Breva 1100. Black, with the maroon seat... Bought in April with 1000 miles. I have 3800 on the bike now and I absolutely love it. I've had no issues what so ever. I would love to clear up the low RPM throttle response, but that is my only complaint. I did get the suspension set up for my weight by the dealership a month after I bought it and regretted not doing it right away. It made a huge difference in the handling and the bike is so much more fun and safe to ride.
commando tod Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 This is my Ride. Griso 1100. Likes petrol and dunlop roadsmarts. Me? I like food and beer.(and single malt)
