Haha... you are a total nut case. Takes one to know one. There were a couple clean, low-mile greenies for sale a few months ago. Just keep watching craigslist - do you know the search all of craigslist site: http://www.searchcraigslist.org/ If you don't care about originality, you could repaint a black or silver red-frame model. Just to give you guys an idea of what a nut case I am... I'm planning on riding the bike to Barber next year. So something like 5k miles. What could go wrong? Time to find a bike and sort it out. Then again I should probably sit on one first to see if it actually fit. Anyone in the Portland area mind if I sit on your bike?

I intended the T to be my reliable ride to replace the Triumph. I guess that firmly establishes my lack of common sense!

Too be clear some of them are projects so I have to keep a healthy running bike ratio, especially considering they are mostly British and Italian!

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough, there are four full bikes in the garage. The Triumph won't be missed. I love it but I got a bad case of Guzzi lust after getting the 850T. There's a Bevel Ducati, the 850T, the Triumph and the Norton. Plus a basket case AJS... then at another location is my Bultaco Sherpa T and the other Norton... well, you get the picture. So a Greenie would just make a nice addition.

I'm all ears!

You know, with the red frame? Yeah, that one. I'm trying to sell my Triumph to free up the bike money for the V11. We finally had a nice day around here so people with think about riding. Maybe I'll have better luck then. That won't matter if I can't find a V11, the V11! Like this one: Is that really asking too much?

This is the internet, we argue about everything.

It was at a swap meet so it may have been for sale, just sold or something. I'd give it a pass for the ride this time.

Or is it... grey?

I should consider reading things... Totally overrated! If I had read things I would have know that the green ones aren't called LeMans! Well, I did read it, it just didn't retain...

I narrowed it down to green, how much more narrow can I get?

I need to go re-read the FAQ about the models... I have a 2009 Bonneville I need to sell so I can get my next bike, which will be another Guzzi! Now just to figure out which one!

Did the Sport come in that color?

I'm one of those lurkers from Wild Guzzi, you know, with one of those old bikes and looks longingly at these fancy new ones... I snapped a pic of this bike at the Oregon Vintage Motorcyclist show last May in Corvallis. The event has been going on some 35 years. I was wondering if anyone recognized this bike and perhaps the owner? If I end up with a V11 it will be green with a red frame...
