Hey guys,
Thanks for the input - it's great to hear others' opinions and thoughts and great to hear from V11 owners - i'm pleased I found this space.
The bike was painted orange by someone at some time - here's a photo of it....
I will make this beautiful.
Hello Noob owner here,
I first wanted to change my orange coloured V11 to that gorgeous GREEN that seems to defy sunshine/camera lenses and almost glows like a nuclear power plant waste material.....
Ive pawed photos of greenies and my heart races when I see those colours.
But then the old man inside thinks the Coppa Italia looks traditional and more befitting and possibly even rarer than a Greenie.
Who thinks what about these 2 choices? My paint isn't bad - but I bought the V11 because it is such a cutie.... and looks even cuterererr in Green.... but svelt in Coppa.....argghhhhhh
:help:
GREEN GREEN GREEN !!
I may be a little biased though.
After 10 years with my greenie I can still grab a glass of shiraz and stare at her!
And I always give her a last look before heading in after a ride!
Cheers Guzzler
Ps Welcome mate, whatever colour you choose you have a very special bike now, ENJOY.

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the heads up.
I'm not going to buy those carbon cans - I know they are genuine I just don't like the mountings - in carbon with v-twin boom - I'd rather go with carbon that's "solid".... I've seen one shatter once due to SP2 boom on a mates bike - so they can be fragile....
Thank you for the thought though.
We should keep in touch so not to out bid each other!
I fancy the green and to accentuate the red elements - so get red Eagle/Moto Guzzi tank badges and pick up the red stuff (inc the horns) so it'll look spanking
Also those exhausts - I like the up-swept angled ones maybe carbon or effect. I used to have a Suzuki TL1000 and had lovely carbon cans on that at high level.
Ahh Luhbo - thank you for that input too. I think I'm going to do green as its the colour that makes my heart flutter when I see it. I don't think it gets better than that..... a bit like looking at Daenerys Targaryen
