[John Lyon]

Just took delivery of a black 2000 R11S (delivered from a dealer in LA to CA), which unexpectedly came with high windshield, raised bars and luggage mounts (not too bad looking). I accidently took it on a 100 mile ride coming home from the dealer. My last bike was an '83 Guzzi LeMans III, and my impression so far: This bike does not vibrate, has no flywheel effect, is rock solid in corners, is perfect in every way (except maybe the seat) and is very, very beautiful (children gathered). To other potential buyers: Any "complaints" you may read about this bike are simply small deviations from perfection.
