Photoshopped Four Valve from the German V11 Forum


Recommended Posts

it just needs a sharp crease here and there, like the classic alutanks from tank shop. Classic mistake of mistaking "lines" with "jello". I like the simplicity.

I agree with Jaap- lines are all wrong especially the tank. I notice these photoshopped bikes never have mirrors, number plates and indicators which change the look of a bike big time.

 

I think there is a small market for factory cafe racers (Triumph Thruxton, Ducati 1000S) but I can't see Piaggio doing it with a Guzzi, not a big one anyway.

 

I think the 4 valve motor would look more menacing if it was black all over.

Well, I beg to differ. I actually find it pretty good looking and this particular 'bike' actually has mirrors, indicators (check the handlebar) and - ah, well, no license plate.... -_-

 

When is your new baby due, Guy? Any snaps up front to tempt us?

It's not too bad, but the tank reminds me of a kidney bean (that's it! For sale now, the Moto Guzzi Phaseolus!) :lol:

 

Good photoshop skills- I gotta give him that.

Ahh my blurry eyed vision missed the mirrors and indicators- it my age you know. still find the tank all wrong but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beerholder!

 

Cafe racer should be ready in about 10 days or so- the bike is down near Silverstone with Bruce Rawsthorne having some custom rear sets and a few brackets fabricated etc. I'll post some updated pics in the cafe racer thread!

I think that these ones are looking MUCH better!

 

Agreed. Especially the naked one. Probably pretty torquey at 1400cc too.

It may have a hell of a wobble at speed with that offset rear hub. Is it just me or is the rear hub not centered on the wheel?

The sculpted lines are a big improvement. The front fender bracket is missing. If alloy rods are used (e.g. Ducati Sport Classic), then that would be a nice addition.

 

V14 would also be nice.
