Anybody having an interest to purchase my Quota? April 4th, 2025.

I am only testing the waters, as this site is for hard core V11 lovers, but just in case someone wanted to get into the odd stuff.

I am going to purchase a Stelvio, and unfortunately, I do not have the space to keep three motorcycles.

If anyone is interested here, I will provide all the details necessary, including videos.

I am about to take it out this week-end to do some of the stops of the Motorcycle Grand Tour of Texas. I have registered it with a year correct number plate, which I will keep if you are not from Texas. It is registered until 2029.

It has been fully conditionned by MPH after I brought it from Peoria AZ. Tires are Dunlop Trailmax in good condition. All the history I got from the bike is in a binder, including what the previous owner had done.

A first generation Stelvio or V100 Stelvio, I wonder . . .

I can see. There is a Ford in the way. Can't you park that on the street or something?

 

Seriously though, I hope you find a suitable buyer. And I'm as interested as @docc in knowing whether it will be the new Stelvio or the old one, and if the old one, which one?

I did not specify because I anticipated that you guys remembered that before the Quota, I was actually looking for a Stelvio. That was before the V100 came out.

I renounced after I tried one in San Antonio; at that time I did not know the seat had a lower position, and the sales assistant did not either.

The Stelvio I am about to get is a 2013 model, in Orange. Yes, I know, not red.

This is the add for that bike:

Selling my 2013 Stelvio.  Bike has 21K on it right now and I purchased it from AF-! racing with 4,500  miles on it.  Bike has been maintained and serviced at the factory recommended service intervals since I have owned it.  Bike has been stored inside a enclosed garage since I have owned it.   I used the bike as my long distance and multi day touring mount and the bike is all day comfortable.    Bike has the factory side bags and top case.  Extras include lockable GPS mount and XM antennae for Garmin 660/665 unit along with lockable helmet holder that attaches to the license plate mount. Additionally it  has a J&M CB, Intercom, and weather radio unit.   Windshield is a California Scientific shield with adjustable laminar lip on top.  Windshield also has had spacers added to change the angle of the shield slightly and that with the adjustable laminar lip has pretty much eliminated all the buffering.  Tires are in good shape and bike needs nothing as the maintenance is up to date.
Reason for sale is that I am not really doing any more long distance overnight trips and am looking to replace it with something a little lighter and that has a lower seat height since the height and weight are becoming more of an issue as I get older.  I am asking $4000 which I think is a fair price but I am open to reasonable offers.  Bike is located in the Dallas Texas area.

I went to see the bike, and the guy selling it is shorter than I am, if younger. He had the seat in the lower position, and he had also filed down the rubber mounts so I can have both my feet almost flat on the ground.

The bike looks very good. He has the two additional beams fused, but he has never taken the CARC apart, so the bearings are as they were installed by Antonino. He has a CB/Weather radio, and a Garmin that I offered him to keep, since I do not use anything that can distract me from driving.

This guy has a workshop that has absolutely everything an apprentice mechanic could dream about. I offered him the Quota, but he wants a VT85 which is more modern and lighter than the Stelvio.

The bike is pretty clean. I don't like the California Scientific windwhild, even if it offers more comfort. I told him that I ride the Quota without much of a front shield without any problem. The bike is very comfortable, but it is really truck heavy.

He has an aftermarket exhaust, and the ECU was tuned to it. I did not try the bike as I never drive anything I don't own. I wish the exhaust made less noise, but he said he got it like that.

Another issue is the stiffer clutch lever which is going to be a problem for my damaged left hand. Both the V11 and the Quota have softer actuation. I will not be able to actuate the clutch too many times in traffic, so I will only use the Le Mans around town. Unless of course, I install a radial piston pump. I may have to do that anyway.

This is why I can't keep the Quota. I had one option when I managed to park the V11 behind the 911, and the Quota at the edge of the small access ramp. Parking the Stelvio side by side would make it a difficult task each time.

Unfortunately, Mick, the HOA (Home Owners Association) says nothing should be parked in the street. As long as I am on the ramp, I am good.

I am sad to need to part with the Quota.
