Guest Rocker Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Previous topics have prompted me to relate that I have bought 4 le Mans over the past twenty years and I have never had one instance of problem. This may be as a result of the influence of one individual (Pietro diMarino) who has always been on hand. The VII Rosso Corsa was sourced from In Moto of Croydon, Sy. and this family dealership are just great - (let's hope that with Ducati's involvement ever more likely the individuality of M.G. will remain alongside Aprilia). So, have I just been fortunate? Rocker Rob.
jrt Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I've had a G5 (270,000miles), two Eldorados, and a V11sport (over the last 20 years) that I've put extensive miles on. The only one that ever gave me a 'real' problem was the G5 when it munched it's transmission. That little F-up was entirely my fault. So no, you are not an aberration. They are good bikes, and if kept reasonably maintained, they can go the distance. As Pete Roper calls them 'stone-ax simple'. It's tough to break a stoned ax. J
