Waiting for reply. I’m not bowled over by it but might go take a look, about 90 miles from me. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/mcy/d/new-ulm-2001-moto-guzzi-v11-sport/7619533648.html This bike is not one of the first 300.. it does not have the carbon fiber exhaust, just the heavy stock V11 mufflers. 18,000 miles .. asking 4995. I think it’s a little high.. the extras, luggage and throttle mister don’t do much for me. center stand, yes that’s nice to have...anyone care to comment?

I don't see the point of criticizing our own family of bikes. I think this one might need a bellhousing support? Condition means a lot. If you want it, where ya gonna find another? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiomick Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Comment: I wrote further up that the bike is very pretty. On the downside, when the seller starts the text with "Limited edition and collectable Rosso Mandello", it can be taken as an idication that he thinks it is worth more than it really is, or he is punting for more than he knows it is worth.

I so agree with this. Others have pointed out that, as the world's premier V11 Sport/LeMans community, we consistently undervalue examples that come up. I really enjoy looking over listings for what is changed, what accessories are offered, common issues, and try to share what knowledge we have accumulated about these rather rare (and soon-to-be-vintage) motorcycles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red lion Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Not one of the first 300. But I think they only made another 300 not numbered. Still fairly rare. I haven't seen another on the road since I bought the one I have, and It's also not numbered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoguzzi Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I think the black Sport is almost as rare.. remember John Fish sold his after being on the market for a long time.. for $3000. Similar mileage I think.. Black at least as fetching as the roso .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens in every single community... except the Ferrari folks. Unless they are talking about the Daytona they bought in 1981 for $5000. We want the prices to be low so we can buy more. But we want the prices to be high when we sell. Fickle are we. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
