  1. I am happy to see Guzzi do anything that is thinking outside the box. They can do a three cylinder diesel. The can do a v4, a single or a twin.... It is all good, as long as it is a true Moto Guzzi effort and not a re-badged Aprilia.

    I would love for them to build a motor other than a V twin. That double V 3 cylinder they use in drone planes was cool. I would love to see them do something ground-breaking. They have a history of ground-breaking designs, I would like to see them re-open that can of worms.

    A V8, a V6, a V4 a triple, whatever. I am not a dyed in the wool traditionalist that only wants them to keep making what they are making. I just don't want them to become a badge engineered sub-division of Aprilia.

    Or Piaggio.. ;-)

  2. Good to hear no one was injured. Sorry for your loss.

    All the fire means is you can buy anothe Goose. They're out there. Especially v11s. It's as if folks are selling to get the newer thing. I for one love the v11 despite the quirks and flaws( especially since the flaws are easily fixable). You might have to travel to get one but they are certainly out there.

  3. There are quite a few in the US. You'll see lots of V7s and the occasional Griso. Not many V11s. I'm 1 of like 4 I know of in the outer LA area. Most haven't a clue what a Lemans is here in Redlands, CA. At least they know they're Italian...

  4. You have good taste in bikes, firstly. Guzzis can be kinda tough to find because ( in my opinion) many owners tend to keep their bikes until they either explode or mangle to itty bits. It took me about 6-8 years to even find a Lemans and then find one when I could afford to buy. But I eventually did. If you really want one you'll need to broaden your search. You'll find one.

    But if you don't the Beemers and Trumpets are a great choice too ( my other bike is a Street Triple R. I'm partial to Triumph. I've had 6 of them ) .

  5. That review is fixed...,

     

    That Honda 500 twin is boring.

    The Zeros are horrible. The Brammos on the other hand......

    That Aprilia you're lucky to even SEE one on the street....

    The KTM is amazing.

    The Triumph Daytona R is amazing.

    The MG California is pretty. Huge!

    The 800 MV triples are nice. The Triumph is better.

    Vespa?!! Seriously?!!

     

    Who wrote that crap?

  6.    I just bought my 02 Lemans and though her mileage was low ( 11k) she's suffered from some exposure to the sun and elements .  I've replaced a lot of the rubbers already but one dilemma is my headlight on the inside is suffering from sun damage inside the headlight . 

       This thing is an 8" headlight ? What kind of interesting options we have ?
