I got my V11 last week and all I can say is what a blast to drive. It's runs and sounds great.
After going through the section on identifying your model of V11, the serial number translation, and the pictures, everything seems to say it's a 2001; the 10th digit is a 1, the fork sliders are 40mm, the instruments Veglia, no front crossover, etc. It's registered as a 2001 by the way.
My bike is a repaint but other than that it appears to match the Rosso Mandello picture I found there. That's the only one with the small fairing, carbon fiber silencers, and the black fork tubes. Also, my serial number has an extra character (an M) before the described six digit serial number. I've put in a couple of pictures and would appreciate any input from those with more MG experience than I.
Other questions relate to the dash board (the idiot lights don't match the operator's manual reprint that came with the bike) and the forks (I'm pretty sure they're Marzocchi from the stylized 'M' on the lower inside of the left leg) as they don't match the manual's description for damping control.
What I know about the idiot lights is that the top center flashes with either turnsignal, the top right is Neutral, the top left is for High Beam and the bottom center is for Low Gas. Neither of the two middle center lights have illuminated.
Thanks in advance,
Brock
