TIME FOR A DIET?

It’s light enough and handles well enough. If you ride a motorcycle for strictly objective purposes, you’ve missed it... completely.

Same goes for judging a custom bike imo.

So, true. The vast majority of the customs are like physical "catalogs" of the work or products on offer. Not something built to ride.

 

The V11 is fantastically versatile as is.

Don't forget.. the last of the *real* Guzzis, man..

I believe Jaap installed a set of OZ wheels onto his V11 and he said it made a huge improvement in handling, and helped acceleration too.  I think that's the way to go if you want significant weight savings for your V11 where you will really feel it.  They will lighten your wallet significantly too if they're even still available.

There is nothing wrong with our bikes being on the portly side. I think their robust construction is a contributing factor to their longevity. How many liquid cooled CBR's, R-1, or GSXR's do you see with odometers showing mileage readings over 100,000. And even fewer air cooled bikes achieve that. I for one am perfectly satisfied with the useable power and rail like handling of our bikes.
