Richard Z Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Its come time to change my riding style... Due to my leg injury, It's come time to change motorcycles.. Not that I don't like my Sport. I'm just scared of dropping it with my lady riding with me. I still have my Ducati Paul Smart for sport riding. But I needed something a little easier and comfortable for the 2 of us. I traded the Sport to ChicagoMark on Wildguzzi. He used to have a Centauro and contacted me about trading when he seen my bike available. He has this beautiful 2000 Bassa that fell inlove with the first time I seen it.I already have the Duc and couldn't afford buying something.. Beside's the damn garage is almost full. 2000 Bassa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks lovely: don't forget to change your profile info to "2000 Bassa blue" from "2004 V11 Sport red!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoguzzi Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 That's so cool, just a few weeks ago my wife say's "you need to get another Bassa" and "I can't ride that Lemans" I told her there is a seat under the cover but never rode her on it. So then i remember this Bassa f/s in the North Dakota hinterland w/a reasonable price.. I check it out, he's had " a lot of calls" but no takers cause of shipping costs.. I tell him "A five hour (each way) drive is nothing to me, I'll be up as soon as I can scratch up the funds" So I brought this home.... 3484 miles and spotless... I'll trade those really nice mufflers for a backrest and or seats.... I have some Staintunes... But I get to keep the V11!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bassa has Mistrals on it with the FBF crossover. I'm keeping the bike intact as it sits in the picture. Mark may have a spare seat after the deal is done this weekend. I think the picture has the custom seat done by Rick. I requested the stock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoguzzi Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 would you sell that custom seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Z Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 would you sell that custom seat? When Mark and I talked. I was going to take the stock seat and he would keep the custom seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Good for both of you. I still regret selling the Jackal we had. I just got back from picking up a new bike also. What the heck is going on around here? Sunspots? Anyhow, I added a few miles....rode it from Phoenix, AZ to Boston, MA. The United States is truly a beautiful and diverse country, but my ass hurts. this is at one of the passes in Colorado. Del Norte maybe? Anyhow- it was cold.

stormsedge Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Beautiful bike. I'd be sorely tempted (sore...ha ha) if I found a deal like that. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
