Thanks for the info... man that is one beautiful bike. I can't wait to ride one... well, actually I'll have to as I don't have the cash at the moment. I have a 2003 BMW K1200Rs Zebra right now and have had it for the last four years. It's a wonderful all round bike, but if my wife didn't need to ride from time to time I'd be happy to let the bike go to another home, I'm ready for a change. Last year I added a Triumph Thruxton, but alas money got tight so she had to go. I only wish I'd thought of the V11 when I bought the Thruxton, I bet I'd still have it! I'll bide my time and hope money flows a little easier in thye near future. I've had a bunch of Beemers over the past few years and been fairly happy with no major issues. The thing is they've become so technologically advanced that it's hard to really work on the new one's, plus they're not that reliable any more. I want to go back to a simpler time, the Thruxton almost did that, but was uncomfortable and did lack some soul even though I piped it and fiddled with the thing to get more character. I think a nicely cared for V11 would do just fine

Ok so I've been riding bikes most of my life but since turning 40 (13 years ago) I seem to have gone a little manic. It's just gotten worse because for some reason the V11 is calling me. They've crossed my path in the past and I sort of dismissed them as too heavy and not having the performance to match the looks. Well things have changed in me and I'm definitely in a place where what matters is how a bike makes you feel and from everything I've read the V11 makes you feel pretty darn good. So I have a question about the different color schemes. The one that I love is the silver with a red frame, I wanted to know what years did they make the silver incarnation and did it ever come in a half fairing? If anyone could point me into info on the history of the V11 I woulld appreciate it. Thanks
