V11 Comparisons

[Bigrider]

Folks, after riding Beemers for 18 years, I'm looking at moving to a V11. I've checked the FAQ and didn't get the answer I was looking for. Is there a site where all thve various V11 models are compared? I'm intersted more in teh ergonomics. Which models have there handlebars/clipons located where, etc. Thanks for your help.

The V11 series are pretty much the same with regard to the foot position. However, Moto International does have a kit that gives you some more leg room. (I don't know weather thay still have some or not.)

 

Anyway, for a more agressive riding position, a V11 with clip on's will be what you want. If you prefer a more upright position, there are options, (aftermarket), that can address that, or a Billabio. Search this board. There is a comparo on the changes from year to year as far as stuff that does not involve ergos.

The original V11 has clip ons and I think they're mounted below the triple clamp

 

The subsequent naked I'm not sure but I think they went above

 

The Lemans (all types) and Scura are clip ons mounted above the triple clamp

 

The Cafe Sport, Bilabio, Copa Italia have the flat bars mounted on stems on the triple clamp.

 

I don't know about the Rosso Mandello, I think clip ons below triple.

 

That covers all options, there are a whole host of different after market riser kits, and also foot peg conversions.

 

 

 

errors and omisions excepted

Looks like it would a V11 would be some what unique in the San Antonio/Hill Country region of Tx. Went for a ride this weekend, lots of beemers, lots of other bikes...no MGs.

I believe Staedler is in S.A. and Supertwin is in S.M./Austin....but two out of a million+ people is a little scarce, I suppose.
