Richard,
It's been 2 months since I bought my 2001 V11 Sport.Only three tankfulls in & I love it.
It has managed to vibrate a couple of bolts loose,but has proved reliable during the cold mornings in London town.Just waiting for it to warm up a bit,then i'll take for a blast round some country lanes.
Only gripe,the fuel consumption's poor,about 40 mpg around town.
