Another V-Twin to the fold!

Post by Jbrebel »

My Dads just bought this today

Its bloody great! Sounds glorious too (like a spitfire on full chat!) you wouldnt believe the mileage-53000 miles!

99T plate. Full Guzzi service history with all the stamps. 1 owner from new.

Ive never seen as much history with a bike. It rides great.

The pic was taken last month 8O

Had an hour on it this avo Deano :)

Loads different to a Storm or any other modernish sports bike for that matter-as you'd expect!

Lovely thing to ride. Reminds me of a classic with all the mod cons (suspension, brakes etc) its just nice.

He was slightly dubious about the purchase at first due to the stonking mileage but the guy thats owned it is a Guzzi nut. It is a minter tbh. Suppose its only around 5000 per year :roll:

Ive got a 7000 mile bike and it feels as good. The V11 wants nothing.

My old man only does stints to work and back, and the odd coast/longer run so its ideal. He's had a Triumph 1200 Trophy up till now (which will be up for sale asap if anyone knows of anybody interested :wink:) but this thing actually handles compared to that!

I still cant believe its condition. It really is astounding.

Good looking steed, one of the locals rides a Brevia (i think thats the model ) only thing that I could say was that I couldnt hear it for the Storm 8)

I've always fancied a big Guzzi. That one looks immaculate and I wouldn't be at all concerned by the mileage
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
