Nawww . That is ugly PERIOD

[activpop]

Do you think my tank looks too big?

[audiomick]

I'd be incllined to buy her, just to rescue her from the humiliation.

[audiomick]

I see the ad is "ended", and a further look at all the photos indicates that the poor thing was once a Greenie. One can only hope that she has been passed on to someone with enough decency to restore her to her former glory.

Makes me feel really good about what is left of mySport.

Mate, yours is a gem.

 

Here's some pictures for future generations who might read this after the ad has been taken down.

The bike in question (one can actually see the green on the tank where the spray-can grey has worn off)

 

and the seat sub-frame in red and a photo of parts showing the green front mud-guard.

As challenging as the V11 Sport/LeMans tank shape is to fathom whilst integrated with the rest of the original design, it is quite an abomination all by itself!

Might as while mount up a Quat-D exhaust for "balance" . . .

And the battery and the relays and the fuses and the ECU . . . oh, my!

I had to find out where this is located . Near London . This guy's brother bought it new around 2000 and desecrated it w/in 6 mos. of ownership.  This is an extreme example of "customization" or "personalization". 

IDK what this guy did w/the electricals that were under the seat area. You should only consider getting this home ( at night ) and hiding it and immediately stripping it down to where no one will know what it looks like . IDK what it is worth but I would give no more than $1,000 USD delivered .  

 Maybe a Guzzi dismantler in that area will show some mercy and put it out of it's misery .

wow... I just looked at the ad and noticed that is has ended with zero bids. It would be quote a bit of work to bring that one back, especially given that the frame was painted black.

[gstallons]

OMG , I looked at that bike to see what all was desecrated and did not notice the frame painted black . 

At least this is the MOST desecrated V11 of all time !

[docc]

Or is the frame, plus subframes and swingarm, all grey?

[audiomick]

I reckon he just sprayed everything he could get to with grey from a spray can.

I'm suspecting the battery and all the electrics now live under the fuel tank? How I don't know.

That, and I reckon there is some electrical stuff in between the side plates, more or less where the airbox should be. Maybe the battery?

 

Whatever, he must have put a fair bit of effort into "customising" the poor thing. The question is, why so much effort to get to that result?
