Looking to buy...

[rex007can]

I am currently the owner of a vintage BMW and have been looking for a change.
In my shopping I've come accross a nice looking and very low mileage Guzzi V11 sport (2001)

I LOVE the look, I love that it's air cooled, Vtwin and has very little or no plastic.
Basically... I want this bike.

First, I'm 6'2", will that bike be big enough or will it make me feel cramped (like most sports Japanese bikes do)
Second, what should I be looking for and asking the dealer?
It's only got 7500KM on it, so I doubt all it's little bugs have had time to come out yet, but there must be specific stuff to look for.

Thanks.

Pat.

Late, but oh well. Sorry.
Since I am only 5'10" I don't know how well you'll fit but I would guess you would fit fine unless your knees are in bad shape. There are options to lower the pegs but that defeats the purpose of them being where they are.
My wifes V11 had most of the bugs worked out in the first 5k miles. She now has about 50k miles and loves it still.
If you search this site you will see that other then the relays and maybe a shift spring issue (I think the 2001 you mentioned is too early for that but I do not know for sure) there are not too many issues I can think of. Mostly it has been just a case of proper care and attention.
