Customised V11's

[docc]

I've always thought that the v11 rear end looked awful without the tail-section- and not so easy to customise perhaps?

I have honestly yet to see a 'true' V11 that was fully customised to look better than the original v11sport. Even ghezzi- and we all know how good they are.

I mean, not like a tonti, or f/bed etc, that had a structure in place to bolt to...

Case in point:

mmmmmm! Should put this on 'what bike would you desire' thread.

I do love round-fins, but that rear section looks a bit chunky to my eyes.

 

After reading interviews with the V11 designer, Luciano Marabese, I understand his determination to keep the (rather large) V11 tail section: it is reminiscent of the Gambalunghino he penned the V11 from.

 

 

Looking at a way to "slim" the tail on my Sport. Hope Luciano M. will be okay with it . . .

Really? It's one of my favourite aspects of the design. I even like the weirdly-shaped tank too!

Seems it's reminiscent of a certain era roadrace bike? Lot's of folks find it appealing, and it certainly works together as a package!

Also an 1100 Sport, Foundry Motorcycle's "Pipeline" really shows off the layout of a proper SpineFrame!

Imagine the sound with you helmet right above that dual throat Weber!

That exhaust is crazy.

Nice, and autofab have a snazzy slip of a tail on this one:

"Slip-of-a-tail," indeed!

Not only ugly but almost totally unrideable.

I'd just like to hear it ride by at full chat.

I suspect you'd be dissapointed docc.

The Foundry Guzzi was on UK Ebay a few months ago. Price was around £11 000 IIRC.

Could be. I wouldn't want to be the one to dial in the tune with that intake/exhaust and a downdraft Weber !           (We'll have to get 'dangerous' to take that task on!  )

 

The article I read in Café Racer Magazine said they stripped the body work off looking for a tube frame and were surprised to find the spine instead, but after a bit saw what genius (my word) it is.

It is an abomination and should be cast out..
