do you hate it? *Update

Tell me what you think, good, bad, other.

I'm still looking for a CF front fender to match my CF flyscreen, chin pad, and cans if anyone knows a cheap place to pick one up. The rearend isn't finished I still need to mount my plate and some turn signals as I am not skilled enough to wire my turn signals into my tail, besides they'll just barely be sticking out the sides of the plate.

 

I think its unique and looks really good inperson, and in the sun with the fancy paints.

 

PS don't mind the garage it'll be cleaned up this spring but this project was far more important to me.

With Red and Green people won't know whether your are stopping or going

Although I am not a fan of Christmas color combos, I kind of like it, but then again, I kind of liked Enzo's bike, too.

I know both that green and that red look better in person.

Maybe it needs some racing stripes...or give up on the green and paint the tail Scura black

There is there no carbon wheel cover?

The grey one does not match at all.

I love the red tank and the seat, I love the seat, but the combi colours with green doesn't match with the beautiful tank colour.

I also love the windscreen, and the rear lights.

But once again, this red with this green doesn’t match! No style!

Perhaps another green with another red….

 

I would suggest to change the green and NOT the red!

I think it looks fine Ben- and the important thing here is that YOU like it, and it is your own individual take on how you want your bike to be.

P.S. I wanna ride on that little Barney the Dinosaur toy!

Guy, this is talking like father to son.

Ben wants an opinion from some mates.

When you ask to your wife if your tie looks good, you want to hear her true opinion.

If she say to you, “honey this bloody thing looks like shit” you must take it off.

Is she say to you “honey if you like it, is good to me too”, well, make some conclusion here.

It’s no fair enough. I like to hear from her, my tie is good or not.

 

Back to Ben, we can share his optical catching style because we are riding and we know the V11 like no one does.

BTW, I love your naked Corsa. You did some nice job to your own bike.

Like I said, I think it is fine! But if I was Ben I would listen to himself, not others, as there are so many opinions on here.

 

Thanks for the comments about my Corsa!

2c: ''ok'' ...''yes''...''no''...maybe! OK paint the tail in same green as tri color on seat!..

I'd go with "bad". I mean really bad. The three colours mix is horrible. No reference whatsoever to Italy since they are the wrong colours in the wrong order. So it is simply a bike in three metalic colours. In any of them it will be a pretty nice bike (especially in Verde Legnano, of course, that's the true colour for the V11) but this way it seems a bike made by different bikes parts.

 

I am talking about the colours only. Tail is beautiful as the air filters, but the colours mix make it the worst v11 I have ever seen.

 

Cheers,

I agree with Guy, except for the part that it looks fine...

[g.forrest]

''sell it '' and buy a honda. or like it as it is.

 

yeah mate. after a longer closer inspection it does look a bit of a bitsa...

[g.forrest]

i'm sorry to say, i think this question may need a poll. ultimately this could be as big as global warming in opinions given. so pollsters please!

I'm going to get a CF front fender ppl, and probably a CF hugger, its not done. The tail and tank go together alright in person and the colors don't have to be in the order of a flag, am I supposed to hold up a flag as a stencil? I think not.

 

It IS a bike of other bike parts BUT besides the ppl here, who's gonna know? I may paint the tail section Tenni Green but I really like that color green, Painting the tank is right out maybe it would give the bike more character to get the CF fender sooner than later. I've gotten slightly better reviews than enzo, and who had that one that looked like a real christmas card? and then the lime green one with red wheels?

 

I'll go with my tastes and the tank stays, the seat stays (unless I get it recovered Again) but I'll ponder on the tail color.

[stormsedge]

It's inspired! I like it. k

[waspp]

Its youre bike so do what you like. IMHO (which is just as worthless as anybody elses) I would paint the fender the same red as the tank, lose the green tail and buy a cf tailsection. Bingo!

With your present scheme of things the green tail just looks like it was added on because you needed one and that was what you came up with. With the red frame and red tank the tail really sticks out, another posibility is separate the body componets with a neutral color frame...black, then paint the fender green. Those V11's will always be a cool bike.

Hey Ben, I'd go with a green front fender rather than a carbon piece.
