Speedfrog Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 Ciao a Tutti. I just recently became the new owner of a beautiful 2004 V11 Café Sport and I'm very excited to be here amongst fellow enthusiasts. I've already started to gather as much knowledge as I can from you all and looking forward to more. I started my love affair with motorbikes back in the seventies growing up in the south of France and always had a ride of some sort, mostly japanese bikes then a stint with a Triumph Trophy 1200 wich I toured 2 up all over southern europe. After a 20 years hiatus, the sight of a Griso rekindled my lust for motorbikes and in 2017 I purchased a Griso and became a new(old) Guzzista. The journey continues... Hervé 2 2

Amend your V11 moniker to V11 Le Mans... we are very posh here Although this is not the place for it, do tell us what tyres/tires brand and make you chose to shoe your Le Mans with. There is a thread for it. Just like about everything else, such as oil, there are a lot of opinions and rationales to pick one or the other rubber. Retro bikes are picking up their paces. A lot of former glorious brand whether UK or Japan based are releasing more of the variation of their old best sellers. It is only a matter of time before Piaggio decides to use their new power plant into a Le Mans themed bike!!!!
samdroid Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Hey All, I've just picked up a 2000 V11 Sport with Magni fairing after lusting after one for years. I've been riding for 13 years, starting on a Honda CM400. I've had a VFR, KTM 640 Adv, Versys and Buell XB. The V11 joins the current stable of a 2014 Ducati Hyperstrada and 2022 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 (My girlfriend's). Caught the Guzzi bug from my dad who's had an Eldorado, California, Convert, 750s, Breva, Quota, Nuovo Falcone at various times. Looking forward to meeting you all and plumbing the depths of knowledge and information archived in these forums. If you're in Eastern Ontario or West Quebec hit me up for a ride or a beer sometime, but never both together. Cheers, Sam 10
po18guy Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Welcome from the Land of Evil Spirits! Kindly note that all known and some unknown issues with V11s have all been solved here - or at least made workable. 1

That Magni-faired V11 reminds me of our Nova Scotia member @Gio 's Sport that he sold two years ago. 1
Martijn851 Posted April 30, 2023 Posted April 30, 2023 It took me 2 years, but finally there's a Guzzi in my garage again. Better pics after maintenance, first going to Assen for 2 days of track fun. 10
