Hey John!
 
Hey , I bought another Moto Guzzi!
A v11 Jackal. Man what a brute! This sure beats the old Ambassador I used to have. And will still have some decent riding days left this year. This is gonna be fun!

That Jackal is a brute, for sure. But it'll get up and take you places.

Congratulations! Just don't get in a race with Harry while he's on that big Ducati.

Well I look at it like this. Even a broke down Guzzi is still sat superior than an imaginary Ducatti running in the imagination...

Yeah, got a sweet deal on it. Only 18,543 mi on the clock. This thing puts out 74 hp at 6000 rpm. I need a better windshield though. This stock one will buffet you bad.ore looks than function. Gotta get a back rest for the missus too.

I think she's wanting to plan a spring trip somewhere.ore than a quick ride to DQ for a milkshake...

Congrats on the new bike. Parabellum makes some good after market windshield/windscreens

I have a Plexistar II on mine. Like it, as far as the wind goes. I'll try to get a
picture of me on the bike to give you the relationship between my head and the top of
the fairing. The wind doesn't beat me to death. But, it takes some messing with the
height and angle of the windscreen.

I take that back. Mine doesn't have a solo seat. It it does have the factory 'sport seat' which is stock equipment.

There's also gobs of Guzzi forums with classifieds to browse through too.

How much gas does it hold? That tank looks bigger than the one on my GS and it holds 9.25 gallons

......,
Oh it "looks" big alright but it's deep cut in the center. It actually holds 5 gal. Not sure what the reserve capacity is though
