For Sale: 2000 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport
Today we have a great looking Moto Guzzi V11 Sport. Remaining seemingly unchanged for decades, these big Guzzis continue to follow the same 90 degree traverse V-twin philosophy, with air cooling and shaft drive. Look back into Guzzi history and you need to go back a looong way before you discover anything different. This is what makes these bikes so iconic; a modern incarnation of “same as it ever was.”
The Guzzi concept of motorcycling has always drifted toward the Gran Turismo (as in Grand Touring) vein of performance, prefering the stability of long wheelbases and the torque of long-stroke, loping motors over high-strung, hyperactive race replicas. The V11 Sport is no different, with just over 90 HP and 90 ft/lb of torque pushing a somewhat heftly 480+ lb (dry) motorcycle. What you give up in outright acceleration, however, you gain in rideability and longevity. Guzzis are legendary for piling on the miles, and rival the BMW boxer in terms of outright durability. These bikes are over-built and long-term ownership is the true reward.
From the seller:
This bike is in fantastic condition, near mint. Every thing works perfect on the bike. Odometer stopped at 13k and i have a log of all miles, services and oil changes ext. This is a rare beauty that you will not anyone else riding around here, its a real head turner. Read my feedback and bid with confidence. Comes with original Guzzi tank bag as well. Spec’s below. If your a Guzzi fan than you already know, if your not a Guzzi fan than you should be cause look at this Twin
Unlike the LeMans series I bikes, the V11 models have yet to appreciate to any measurable degree. Moto Guzzis do hold their value by and large, and one might expect in time even the V11 models to gain in value. Unlike many more fragile bikes, you can be sure that this one will at least still be running to see that possible value appreciation!
This bike is up on a No Resevre auction, and the bidding is but a paltry $3,050. That is very low money for a 2k V11 Sport; take note of this one RSBFS fans, because at this rate somebody will be riding Italian style, design and sound for a song.

Love the pink training wheel!
Note that the training wheels are not specifically mentioned in the auction and therefore are likely not part of the final deal 😉
Well looks like the auction is over. What happened?
Looks like the bike might have sold locally.
Shoot, I just bought a green Guzi. Now to convince the wife I need two…
