For Sale: 2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport
You have to hand it to the Italians: They certainly do things their own way. Take this 2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport, for example. From the engine-dominated side view, to the voluptous “naked bike” bodywork, to the electric green-paint, this bike practically screams “eclectic designer custom.” Yet this is pretty much factory stock, save for a few added tidbits. All in all, this bike is a very interesting package.

Add ons: K&N Filters & Mistral Aftermarket Pipes. This bike is one of the most unique around, especially with this rare factory paint scheme. Bike has never been down & is always stored inside.
The seller has done us the favor of listing out the book specs on the bike, but little else. The two known modifications are the pipes and the air filters – both reasonable additions to performance considering the EPA-choked stock items of that era. Otherwise, this appears to be a very clean bike with low miles in a rare color. Given, not everyone likes their bike in fishing-lure green, but you must admit it catches the eye…
Pricing on Guzzis has been hit-or-miss recently. The older bikes have gone up in value, but the newer-generation machines have been flat. This auction started at $2999 – a very fair price – and quickly rose up to $4350, which is still a bargain. There is no reserve on this auction, so some lucky bidder is going home with this beauty.

This has to be my favorite V11 Guzzi color. Love that green with a touch of red as an accent.
There is an identical bike on Craigslist San Francisco that has the very cool and rare Magni fairing painted the same color. Yummm…
love it love it love it
Yeah ,
I agree I like ’em a good Guzzi too ! All the sprty ones ! I actaully have a CX650E (Eurosport) (not the Torbo) that is near completion of my restaration . It is my 5th one …as well I have 2 1/2 500 Turbos . I call the 650E my Japaneses Guzzi ! It is also a helluva lot more reliable than the earlier Guzzis . I know of peple getting more than 100 ooo kms before needing major attention to the motor ! Love V-twins !
Cheers !
I had a ride on my friend’s V11 some days back.I expected that its seats will be like sport 1100-like uncomfortable, but was surprised to have seats of sport standard like the Kawasaki ZRX1100. Suspension and brakes on the V11 Sport are some of the finest brakes system.Overall Moto Guzzi V11 Sport is torquey and powerful but well-mannered and relaxed; comfortable and practical yet street-fighter sporty.Really a nice bike..
[…] seller is asking $4,500 for the bike, which is pretty fair money. The last V11 Sport we listed here on RSBFS had many fewer miles and sold for $4,350. It might make sense to contact the […]
