Took a comparison pic of under seat. . Corsa with battery.. my cafe sport without. . Starting to think the frame had been rebuilt. . They're totally different

[Introduction Thread]

Hi
Owned a v11 cafe sport for just over a month now. I'm in Christchurch, New Zealand. Friend. . Also, a guzzi owner, knowing I was bike shopping after having sold my kawasaki zephyr 750, showed me guzzi for sale.. half joking.. then I text back. .I own it! Now teach me how to look after it...I love her.. and once running sweet plan on plenty of long road trips. I have been riding for around 6 years. . Started riding a harley 1100 when living in the usa.. moved to something a little lighter. . Yamaha 650 classic.. then moved back to NZ... bought a cheap old bike after a couple of years. . Honda Ft 400... then the zephyr.. now my guzzi. There's another post about the issues with her. . But hasn't put me off.. Think I'm a guzzi girl for life

Cheers Andy,

 

Finally got her out for a ride today. Nothing too major, some cosmetic things I've got to sort out, like no dial on the odo to reset the counter. Definitely a miss when sitting around 3k rpm. shes actually a lot tidier than I expected..I am thinking she needs a new battery..will chuck this one on a charger see what it reads. But all in all for the money, I've got a great bike!
