    Green V11 I just had a look at this again and it sent me to the Motards site. i thing you have to click on the proceed to motards site to see the picture. Sorry for the confusion here.
  6. MZ is supposed to be coming back to the USA. Apparently there were only 8 of these bikes imported. Seems to me that it is rare enough to hold its value. You can get parts no problem from Germany.
  7. Hm mine works fine to bring the power and smoothness up to par with a couple of M4 exhausts installed. Almost gets rid of the slight flat spot at 4000 rpm. They are dead easy to install and if the map is right you will like you Guzzi V11 even more!! Oh my, Lucy Liu. She is an all around wonderful woman! She can ride my Guzzi any time.
  8. heard a bellow from a gas station as i passed by. Looked over and there was a Scura and St Augustine. Nice to meet you! good luck on the rest of your trip.
  9. I have a little Breva and a V11 CS. They are both magnificent machines. I rode the Breva 1100. It handles well, has a super tranny and hauls the mail. I would recommend this bike to all who are interested. The new MG bikes are splendid and the Norjay will be an ST of record in the years to come. However MG had a hell of a sale on the V11s. Could not resist, i just love the bike. The V11 CS performs well as far as I am concerned. The gear box is OK, the suspension is ace number one shit hot plu plus perfect being Olins. It has plenty of Carbonne, more would be better. The motor is pretty torquey and makes the bike feel like a real motorcycle thumping away as it does. My other bikes are mundane. A Yamaha FJR1300 AE leads the group. However the longest ride I did in one day was on my CS. East of Monroe NC to Rockwall TX 6.30am to 10.30pm. i just love that bike. The little Breva is more of a scooter or starter bike for most people especially the Ladies for whom the bike is absolutley perfect. It is a great bike for those of short stature wanting to learn the art of motorcycling.. Good for local stuff as well as trekking into the hinterland. I rode the little guy on the same route as the CS from NC to TX and sat at 80 to 90 when not being observed. It is a fine easy to handle all round bike. Took a couple of days on that trip though! The new Guzzis are absolutely wonderful bikes. However I just love bikes with a little history. V11s are part of it.
  10. Good answer Pete. Sure the oil operates in the engine in many different ways. I was referring to metal to metal protection. To me thick oil that is relativerly difficult to pump is a big problem as suggested in your response. Gotta flow otherwise it will not work correctly in the myriad of functions it performs. 5w or 50w when at operating temp both seem as thin as water! But 50w maybe too dam thick at thirty and 5w may be on the edge at 100 degrees. Answer is simple don't cheapskate on quality of oil and change according to the work load you put on the engine. 6000 miles to me on the slab may be fine but in day to day cycles I would change at half the distance. In the GUzzi at least there is no clutch or gearbox crap screwing up the mix. R
  11. I have put them on one of my other bikes an FJR1300 and they are preferred ove the BT 020s and the Avon ST45 and 46. They have not been on long enough to check wear but feel very good indeed.
  12. Don't waste your money on a grand stand seat. You can see great racing from just about anywhere on the grass which is why this is such a great track. Take a couple of folding chair or a blanket to sit on and you will be fine.
  13. I think that thin oil is fine. It only requires a few molecules of thickness to protect from friction. Thin oil circulates freely, which is good. If you are concerned about heat breakdown then a good synthetic is better than regular oil in that regard or so they say!
