Guest rsvp Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Traded the guzzi lemans on a R1150GS, the bmw dealer was drooling over the low mileage lemans. In fact a line was forming for the bike. I want to thank all of you for the great info. Without you guys I could not have kept the bike running. Good bike but zero dealer support/service in my area (southeast). One of t he best forums I have been on. You guys stay safe. david
Guest rsvp Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 BTW, have a stucchi crossover and off road aluminum mistrials for sale from my 2002 lemans, Less than 1k miles. 575 to you (continental USA). orangebh@charter.net . david
al_roethlisberger Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Good luck with the GS.... always loved those bikes One of my best friends graduated with his Phd in Econ from Auburn about a year ago, which I helped "finance" al

antonio carroccio Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 I exactly understand your choice. It is easy to switch to another bike than our Moto Guzzi. Moto Guzzi is not trustworthy. Maybe it is not fast enough to be competitive with some Jappo or some other Italian fool. Moto Guzzi is heavy. It is not a butterfly. It is not cheap for the maintenance. And sometimes we have to wait too long for some stupid piece from Italy. Or we get a wrong one. But… If my V11 will ride again, that’s music. I am the conductor of that sound, of that orchestra. I am also the conductor of that piece of work which is riding on the road. That piece of history, that piece of me. That’s why I get your move. And I ask myself, “Is Moto Guzzi it worth?”….
Guest Marcel Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 So do I. Therefore I've got an 8 year old Transalp that has never let me standing. Enjoyable ride but no emotion. Reliable. So I always have wheels.
Guest geezerx Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I've also made the tuff decission. Recently traded the V11 Sport for a Speed Triple. Loved the V11 but moved on for lack of dealer support. Lost 3 dealers within 150 mile radius in 2 years. Unfortunatelly, I require dealer support and for some unfathonable reason MGNA seems determined not to provide it. To echo rsvp's sentiment, this forum and wildguzzi are two of the best forums in which I have had the privelege of participating. Could it possibly be related to the more MATURE nature of the members? Take care and be safe. Bruce
