No one knows me here; I'm aware of that, so this is a long shot request.
I'm looking for "the next bike." What a wonderful decision to have to make: it's down to a LeMans or another Multistrada.
The LeMans I'm most keen on is 2000 miles away. It's been 4+ years since I test rode a V11. Loved it then, but I was inexperienced, and we all age (my aging included minor/major injuries to back, neck, 1 ankle, both knees... ).
I'm ready to pull the trigger, and while I've thought of the V11 since late 2004, I'm hesitating to buy a bike I haven't been on in years. There's an absolutely gorgeous Multistrada that even includes every single farkle I'd want, and even some I'd sell off, within an hour of home... for a very fair price.
Anyone in this area (let's just call it Maryland/Delaware/Nova) who might be crazy enough to let a stranger ride (even just a sit-on would be helpful) their V11? Possibly? In the name of Guzzisti propagation?
