Nice bikes, I really like the Gen2 Vmax and as for the BMW I have had a few of the bricks. Last one was a 2004 K1200GT and that was a terrific mile muncher and deceptively quick. That said I will stick pretty much with Guzzi now as they have so much more character. ------------- California 111,California 1100i,Suzuki FZ50, Yamaha YB100, NSU Quickly, “Never argue with an idiot.

I do like these. Last year in France, I heard one coming down the road, and it had the most awesome sound. I later saw it parked up, and saw it had Agostini silencers fitted. I'd have to have that can, if I owned a V7. There's one I see regularly around my way, the same colour as yours. It's definitely a head turner.

Here's my current squeeze (of 20 yr's). Guess where? And they say these are heavy, uncomfortable, cramped, stiff throttled with a gearbox like a non-synchro tractor. Piffle. Devon to Bellagio via Folkestone in three days with hardly a whimper.....(from the bike....)  Now having a bit of a tart-up before the Spring comes bouncing in.

Much the same with the Daytona - I had lots of warnings that it was cramped, uncomfortable and generally not worth the money ..... it is the best bike ever as long as you have a reasonably open road and can move at over 50mph. Through heavy traffic it complains the whole time, coughing, spluttering and generally misbehaving.... but I guess the 1100sport and Daytona werent really built for city centres on Saturday mornings ------------- Regards Adam Located near Stonehenge ...A 1200sport (2 valve with stage 1), Daytona RS, and a Centauro GT (the last one is for sale if you are interested) |

In my humble opinion, not much point in owning it then. I own a 750 S3 from 1975, that seem to sell nowadays for around 9/10 grand - doesn't stop me thrashing it, enjoying it and looking after it. Mind you, I bought it 25 years ago, and no doubt, if you'd bought a Le Mans 1 25 years ago for little money you'd feel the same about it now, no matter what its perceived value nowadays. ------------- Guzzi lover doing my own thing: http://www.italianmotormagazine.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.italianmotormagazine.com |

I had one for a while and it was fantastic, but it had to go, simply couldn't afford to keep it and other one too, plus no space. Someone else enjoying it now. ------------- Guzzi lover doing my own thing: http://www.italianmotormagazine.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.italianmotormagazine.com |

The only way would possibly be an investment but then owning a lovely machine like that and not riding is a waste of money. Got any pictures of your S3 italianmotor? ------------- V7 Classic - V7 Racer - MK5 - T3 - Spada - Wessons - Speed Triple - FZR - CCM Rotax 604 |

Nice bike - I think the Le Mans II really looks quite okay in its original trim, and the fairing works well.

Today I started stripping the bits I don't need off a cosmetically challenged Cali 1100i and tried out some spare bodywork out to get some ideas for a Calimans. The next thing is to change the swinging arm for a shorter one, fit ignition, carbs, a simple wiring harness, LM pegs or rearsets, fit some bodywork properly and get it running as soon as possible. Most of the bits needed are in the garage so I'm hoping it won't take too long to get a basic runaround. It can be tidied up later. http://s432.photobucket.com/user/Guzzigrahame/media/f144b1db-9e33-4228-a314-6d47a39afc2b.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

Yes the OEM plastic one warped [ i reheated with my partners hair dryer ] and then reset the shape, but sure enough it warped again. So I got the replacement. Have not decided if I like the Silver or will paint it Black with some heat resistant paint? ------------- It's all Spaghetti. |
