zen_kick Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I knew it was only a matter of time before we'd see the bobber/chopper craze hit a V11. As weird as it feels to say, not a bad job - I think it retains some of the intrinsic "Italian-ness" instead of forcing the chopper style over the orginal design like you see with old Triumph choppers. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Custom-Buil...emZ200260577861
zen_kick Posted October 16, 2008 Author Posted October 16, 2008 Forgot the description. Heck, I'd buy it if I had an extra 20k lying about. Anyone know what the word on the tank is? ------ This bike started out as a one owner, low mileage V11. Then Artist, Custom Fabricator and Builder Extraordinaire Giovanni Niccoli got a hold of it. Take a very close look because you will certainly being seeing more of his works in the very near future. I can't even attempt to describe the bike, but the pictures take care of that for me. It's fantastic. It's outrageous. It's everything Giovanni envisioned it to be and more. Part sport bike, part chopper/bobber it's the first of what he calls "European Bad Ass" bikes. Look at the attention to detail. Giovanni spent more than 1000 hours in hand crafting this bike and everything from the tank, to the fenders, to the grill to the seat is hand fabricated- NOT your 'built in my garage from a parts catalog' for kicks kind of bike. It sounds like it just rolled off the F1 circuit and now it's coming for the women and children of a town near you!! You have to hear this thing. This bike has been featured on national Television and won the Utah 'Best In Class' Motorama show in the Spring of 08. It has been featured in IronHorse Magazine (in fact, if you hurry, you can catch the August feature issue). At the Motorama show none other than George Barris himself, legendary custom builder (he built the car for The Monkees back in the 60's), saw this bike and gave it two thumbs up saying Giovanni has a bright future. Giovanni is the Creator behind Moto Couture, a new breed of custom car and bike builder. His company specializes in coach built, bespoke stuff which means you simply get the baddest stuff on the planet and it's built to your specs, from scratch. Unique, Top Quality and Ubber Exclusive. So you can buy this bike or have him build something just for you, top to bottom. Giovanni Niccoli graduates in Spring 09 from Utah Valley University with a 4yr, Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Tech, Street Rod and Customs Technology. There are only 2 schools in the country that specialize in this craft, one in AZ and one in Utah. Giovanni was voted student of the year for 07-08 and you can see why. His stuff will soon become the next six figure builds so now is your chance to get one of his pieces, in fact the first Sport Chopper, before they become something only the rich and famous can afford. This Bike is at Giovanni's shop in Salt Lake City, UT. If You'd Like To Speak To Someone at Moto Couture regarding this bike or another project you have in mind, please call 480-217-1243. Truly unique, custom, one off, bespoke, coach built- Moto Couture.
Paul Minnaert Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 doesn't look like one where riding more than 50 miles is fun. let's say: tastes are personal, not my thing. If it should be such a thing, then the real thing is the sort Confederate produces.
savagehenry Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 that thing is plain and pure UGLY! SSSSHHHHHH!!!! If "IT" hears you it will transfORM into it's Robot Form and crush us!!!
gstallons Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Attractive.......No! But I would like to look at it up close. I think a person would want to look at it and ask the builder about his interpretaion of his design and lines of the bike.

Sorry but this thing needs flaming. mine was fun for about a day, then I put the EV1100 motor to better use in an Convert dressed as an SP.
zen_kick Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 Not sure if the designer is fully Italian or an american "of italian descent". Here's what I believe is a snap of the designer.
zen_kick Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 Paul - I don't think the custom was designed to be a sport tourer. That's why it's crucial to always own more than one bike! Personally I'm partial to the confederate wraith over the fighter but I don't have the 55k for that one either....
Paul Minnaert Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Well even if a bike isn't made to be used, the designs from Fillipo Barcanne, Firestarter garage are lightyears ahead of this. That salt lake city thing look slike some parts accidentaly glued toghether.
Tom M Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Heck, I'd buy it if I had an extra 20k lying about. I guess this, like the ugly bike thread, just shows that everyone has different tastes in motorcycles. $20k??!! You'd have to pay me to get me to ride that thing. On second thought, I'd give him $800 for what to me is a parts bike.
Guest frankdugo Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 they had quite a bit of fun over on the wildguzzi site with it when it originally came out with it for about 50 grand
zen_kick Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 mine was fun for about a day, Should have posted it on ebay for 20k. Could have bought a couple of new guzzis with the proceeds...
