But collectors and riders see things differently. I've only bought bikes to ride, not to preserve. Happy hunting. But gosh - what about the Rosso Mandello, which you have commented on? That look to be a good candidate? Expand It is magnificent...but out of my budget of 6k. Ticks all of my boxes, but I always budget an additional $1k post sale for a stockpile of OEM/NOS parts and service I know will be needed, or close to being needed. Unless the tires are brand new, I always change them, strait away. I also change all fluids and any leaking seals, that way, I'm starting fresh. Love that machine, though. It is sex.

Expand Take another read on that ad. New tires, all fluids changed, spare parts and manual are all included. And you have yourself one of the rarest and most desirable models, which is likely to maintain value or appreciate. I have no connection to seller... aside from this forum. (But I can confidently say that Chuck's Scura is faster) 1 2

I'm used to reading ads where the machine has been sitting for years. I've read around a dozen Guzzi V11 ads in the last month. It is sweet, but still beyond my budget. I'd love to own that machine, but the numbers have to work for both sides. 1

Shipping time isn't that bad. Happy hunting. Cheers Tom Expand Only found a Moto Guzzi Le Mans 3 on this site. On 8/28/2021 at 9:58 PM, VtwinStorm said: Yes I have, but everyone I try contacting never responds. Expand Try the link below; this is a UK based site that lists V11 from all Europe. There are 42 V11 Le Mans for sale. I know there are US based companies that offer a turn key deal for vehicle imports. They take care of all the import formalities and transportation. I maybe wrong, however, reading the norms anti-pollution, cities such as Paris will prohibit motorcycles from 2004 to run between 8 am and 8 pm during all week, e.g. Monday till Friday starting July 2022. Not only the city, but a large zone around it too. Other large cities in Europe are adopting the same measures. I anticipate that many European based owners will be happy to be able to sell their motorcycles to US residents. https://www.theparking-motorcycle.co.uk/used-motorcycles/moto-guzzi-v11.html 1
