  1. It’s difficult to measure desirability when the market is limited for these bikes in comparison to the more mainstream stuff. We are a dedicated bunch of course and we always give a V11 a real second look something like a pretty girl that catches our eye !!!

    Over here in euro land I would say around 5k but it must surely depend on who’s been hanging out for a smart and low miler V11 and then it becomes more desirable. I’m recently back from a trip to Vietnam where the offer price is %50 of the asking price to start with. But even with that it’s way off the mark.

    I remember buying a bike for Margaret( the boss)in Stafford a few years ago where the asking was bonkers. The dealer got really insulted  when I offered %50, I thought he was going to go ballistic !!!  But I did get the bike !

  2. When the Rosso left the garage I’m convinced a depression came over my other bikes😞😞. It got replaced with a very smart and low mile Falco that had to muscle it’s way into the garage, the new kid on the block !  Like a lot of us I think I may have overspent a LITTLE on putting my stamp on it !! 
    Very diff bike to the V11 no question but still Italian and immense fun. Fast for sure and probably too much of a hooligan bike for me now so it’s been moved to the side to make way for the prodigal son returned, my Nero. 
    I keep walking around it on my regular visits in my garage, admiring it as we do and reminiscing about how much fun it actually was and pangs of guilt as I wonder what to do with it😞😞. This could take a long long time as Margaret reminds me “What will you do with the Falco”?

  3. Warranty !!  Now there’s a novel idea for sure, long long time ago since I had one of those and it was probably on a toaster ! I’m totally convinced we’re only in this for the PAIN as it feels that way an awful lot of the time but hey as we say here “it’s great crack”

  4. Hey Gino

    glad to hear you kept the v11 !!  Best fun bike to ride by a long mile. Remember that  very wet ride up into the highlands !!!! 
    A buddy of mine twisted my arm into selling him my Rosso Mandello and With a rush of blood to the head it was gone !!!   Regretted it there and then so DONT DO It !!!!

    Anyway took me a while to get a nice one  but back on the road again a while back. Planning a trip to Switzerland/Italy late spring this year and also heading over your way later in the year.

    Ciao Ciao K

  5. Hi all

    New to the forum. Riding Guzzi’s a long time now. Have put serious miles on the Rosso  Mandello here in Ireland, Scotland and around Europe many times. 
     

    Picked up this low mileage Nero Corsa 18 months ago and really enjoying this new lady !!! Planning a few trips for 2020 already.
