It'd be better if she were a raven haired Italian beauty, was wearing a tiny skirt, and the photo was from the back of the bike

I'm kinda feeling good that my ex broke up with me (now, wasn't feeling so hot a month ago), now I can find a chick who digs bikes..... then get her to sit on it and let me take photos of her in revealing outfits.

Ah, the mischief of it all.

I'm very tempted at present, to the point of considering flying down to see it.

Have you seen this http://www.motorcycletrader.co.nz/De...rcycletradernz It may have more K's on it but that means SFA, MG will do 200,000k on a bore... no worries.
This bike is a newer bike and has factory up grades, and side covers

V7 Sport, 750S or S3 Luverly.....

There is a maybe Mk1 on trademe at the moment - looks the real deal but always hard to say for sure - does it matter? I suppose so now that they are 'collectable' (sigh)

**98tls** · 27th November 2006, 20:27

Real or not.....would still love to put it in the garage,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

**nudemetalz** · 27th November 2006, 21:01

That V11 has been on the market for a while, maybe posible to neg or beg 1 or 2k off the price uh... ???? Ya can only try!!!!!!
Must say the bike with the chick kinda on board is hot... or do I mean the chick that is on the bike is hot???

I am confused...

**nudemetalz** · 28th November 2006, 07:14

Might have a word with Crasher about that one then.
Can't hurt, and I do agree with it looking awesome.

I found that it rode real well and like all bikes that I have ridden with fuel injection does come on a bit hash off the idle when going a round a corner.
But you learn to ride around that hiccup.

I rode the bike for about 1 1/2 to 2 hr's and it run great apart from the off the idle hiccup, which I could ride around.

I agree with Paul, injected MG with pod filters isn't a very good idea, why cos they run like a bag of shit and have been known to shit them selves through leanness.

I would not do this to any of my injected Guzzis... as even from the factory they do not run 100%, but with a little knowledge and after market chips etc and I might add with this V11 the whole ECU would need replacing to compensate.

Having said that... I was happy with the way the bike started and idled, I do not think that there would be any problems with this bike the wee nipper you swiped it from in Japan... must of known his shit.

I'm very sorry D, but I have to disagree with you on the pod filters as I have never heard that they are a bad thing and coursing bike's to as you said shit them self's.
Some Guzzi's did shit them self's on the right barrel and one one knows why.
Lloyds did and after they changed the barrel and piston it never did it again.

Some people like pod filters and others do not, but have not heard of a mechanical reason not to use them apart for the extra weight on the intake manifold that can maybe cause cracking or that the filters can sag and cause a blockage and run rich.
I would love to read up more so could post a link so I can read up and can be corrected.
As I have not completely ruled out buying this bike for my self.

This a link to a discussion on opening up the air box lid or using pod filters.

The moment you change the amount of air going into or out of a motor you may have to change the jetting or injection levels by mapping or changing a chip.

Whether that is a different exhaust pipe opening up the original exhaust pipe, changing to a pod filter or different filter material or opening up the air box.

The way I looked at it is, at the price of the bike you can buy side covers and air box later off a crashed bike if you want to, as they are unlikely to be damaged in a crash.

Interesting stuff, LM.
I'm checking the links out too.

What I would like to do is check the V11 out for myself and also check out the WMCC one.
I have made up my mind that's what I want, whether it's either of those is another thing.
There does not seem to be an abundance of V11's in NZ for sale.
