Moto Guzzi V11 Cafe Sport reviews

I purchased this bike a few months ago and can unequivocally say it is wonderful. "Wonderful" means that whenever I ride the bike it puts a smile on my face. I sold a 99 BMW R1100S for this machine and I am very satisfied with the decision. Regarding the vibration issue that the magazines report, not an issue if you realize this machine is a twin cylinder. I rode the bike for an hour before I purchased it, without gloves, and the pulsations coming from the engine were acceptable...no numbness, as written by mags. As you approach 5,000 rpm the vibrations diminish to a point of extremely smooth. The most vibration to be felt, and its not that bad, is around 3,000rpm. It's important with this machine to not lug the engine due to its excellent 6-speed transmission. Regarding seating position, I'm 6'0 with a 32" inseam and the machine is perfect. The fit and finish is also excellent. I couldn't be happier except with availability of some crucial accessories, i.e. faring/shield, soft luggage and center stand. Great job MotoGuzzi. Show less

It's a great bike to include the new six speed. The buzz is not bad in the seat, tank, or the pegs. However, the grips vibrate all of the time and might be fixed through foam add-ons. Show less
