Moto Guzzi 1100 1100cc Sept '00 (X)

Overall Rating:

Review

Sorry to rain on your parade but why bother.. I have ridden the whole range and yet to find a redeeming feature in any of them. Finish is poor (italian), engine agricultural to say the least, but bags of torque on most of them - must be for towing the plough back home. I have ridden Harleys a lot and to be fair the Harley beats it hands down in every dept. even the engine, which I'm not a big fan of, but if you like travelling at a pace where life is peaceful (bar the noise of the tractor engine underneath) then get one. Otherwise buy a Massey Ferguson. At least you can let your friends play with it and not get embarrassed.

Review

Nearly 50000Km and the only problems are with the rear light bulb not making good contact with the holder terminal: wheel bearing replacement: and a major concern over the oil emulsifying. I realise oil needs moisture to emulsify and it could be condensation, but I would have thought 20 miles each way to work would have got it warm enough to avoid condensation, and yes I do get it into reasonable revs in top. Any ideas? Great comfort ~ 800 miles in a day coming back from Austria and I still would have continued had it not been for a need for sleep.
