I'm fairly relaxed about the insurance write off as long as the bike rides right and has no obvious crash damage. I'd be surprised if I do more than 2000 miles a year on this bike. But I'm sure I'll feel a $1 million for every one of those miles riding such a beautiful (and rare) machine. The only thing stopping me from buying it will be the ergonomics.

Ok. Many thanks for your input docc. In response: 1. That is a given 2. It was an insurance write off 3. Roger that 4. Ditto 5. Thanks 6. Apparently on its 3rd Speedo 7. Will check 8. Natch 9. Tbc 10. Yes indeed. Viewing this week hopefully.

It's a '06.

Well, after sleeping on this for a few months, it looks like I'm back in the game. I've found a beautiful V11 Le Mans Nero that I'm going to have a look at this week. If it was just an ornament, I'd buy it on the spot but having never ridden a v11 before and having given up sports bikes over 10 years ago, I need to check whether it is comfortable enough to take round Europe for a 9 day tour next month. Are there any things that I should pay particular attention to? The bike has done 17K miles. TIA

And that, sir, is the correct answer.

I'm just hoping it rides as good as it looks. And if the bouncer in the dinner suit looks like Dakota Ditcheva (Google her) then I'm quids in. Thanks for the reply.

"Well darling, audiomick told me I needed one, so here it is". That should seal the deal😂

FFS! My marriage is doomed...

The amusement park is overgrown, the gates are padlocked and the whole area is patrolled by Rottweilers

Argh! I have more motorcycles than she has handbags.

I'm not man enough to lift my Griso when I drop it moving it into my garage. Had to get my mate's 16 year old son to help lift it. And you've obviously not met my wife...

I'm a fairly new convert to Moto Guzzi, having owned a 2007 4v Griso for 5 years and a V85TT for 3 months. But, as I suspect is the case with the majority of folk lurking here, I seem to have contracted a severe case of Guzzitis. As any medical practitioner will tell you an '-itis' involves inflammation or, in lay terms, swelling. Now this maladie is making me positively giddy with the idea of swelling the number of transverse V-twins from Italy in my garage. One bike that totally went under my radar was the V11 Le Mans which I saw for the 1st time a matter of days ago, and which I now can't get out of my head. Bellissimo! So tell me why should I risk my marriage by buying another Guzzi and do I really need 3 of them? What will the V11 offer me that the other 2 don't? Over to you...
