Seems there are several Moto Guzzi owners here... and some Guzzi-curious. I am consolidating and have decided to let go of this lovely Moto Guzzi V11 Sport "Greenie."

A little history of the bike… I am this bike’s second family. I bought it from the original owner’s son. It had sat for quite a while and was running poorly. I’ve brought it back and replaced/repaired the stuff that went bad from sitting. Here’s a list of some of the recent work I did:
· Fuel system – all new fuel lines, new filter, new fuel pump, stainless clamps, cleaned throttle bodies and injectors.
· Transmission – completely disassembled, inspected (no cracks), resealed, and some re-paint. I also installed the supplemental transmission brace, which was omitted on many of these bikes (leading to cracked transmission cases).
· New Rubber – new tires (now with about 2,000 miles on them), new throttle body boots, new breather hose, various other new bits.
· General Clean-up and service – repainted many parts, such as final drive and alternator cover, because some of the original was peeling. Anything that came off got cleaned, painted, lubed, new spark plugs, etc.
· Fluids – all hydraulics (3), engine oil, transmission oil, and final drive oil. I would do the next service at 10,000 miles.
· Small parts – several small parts powdercoated (such as battery tray), lots of new fasteners.
· New rear brake pads. Fronts were in great shape. I guess the previous owner was a big rear-brake user. I rarely touch the rear brake.
· New AGM battery.
Extras on the bike:
· Ohlins shock with reservoir and re-mote preload adjuster
· Carbon fiber rear fender by Ghezzi-Brian (from Italy)
· Mistral Exhaust (note that one band on right is scraped, but I think replacements and rivets are available from Mistral)
· All relays upgraded to high-quality Omrons
· LED Headlight (much brighter than original)
· Color matching flyscreen by Stucci (original dealer option)
· Joe Kenny billet headguards
· Pazzo shorty levers (great feel and adjustment)
· Napoleon bar-end mirrors
· Tail-tidy – I shortened the rear fender, added small LED signals, and a custom-made LED panel inside the stock taillight
6,919 miles as of placing the ad – but I’m going to keep riding it until it sells. Reason for selling is that I just bought a new bike and am keeping another Moto Guzzi V11 Sport.
This is a massively fun motorcycle. The sound, feel, and look, are “just-right.” If you like talking about your bike, this is the bike for you. It’s a head-turner and conversation starter. And it may be collectible at some point, as potentially the last Moto Guzzi sport bike, and the only one of the V11 series with the color theme of the iconic green 1970s V7 sport.
Asking price is $5,500. I’m negotiable and can replace aftermarket parts with originals to accommodate someone who’s budget is a bit lower. Original parts (and original tool-roll) included in asking price. I can include a “Roper Plate” with a full-price offer (and can explain what it is if you don’t know). Clear title in my name, registered in CA until January 2019.
Here’s a video I made of the bike when I took it Phoenix recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV9nLH3HNf8&t=193s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV9nLH3HNf8&t=193s)
