Admin Jaap Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Guys, I've done it! I sprung for the G&B Sport Monza kit. I hardly rode my V11 last year but didn't want to sell it either. After making up some vague plans on doing something with the bike I decided to go the Sport Monza way. I will receive the kit in a couple of weeks and keep you updated on the progress. Plan is that the SM makes her debut on July 5th on the Dutch Guzzi Trackday. I'm not really sure on the paintscheme and the exhausts yet. Suggestions are welcome!
jcbooghs Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Great job, Jaap! looking forward to see this bike in real. See U in Mettet! Do you have any idea how many Monza kits were already sold? I mean, how many of these bikes are on the road? Looking at the price of the kit (waywayway too expensive in my opinion) they must be pretty unique.
jihem Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Brilliant ! See you in Mettet ! Do you have any idea how many Monza kits were already sold? I mean, how many of these bikes are on the road? Bruno keeps his number very hush-hush, but it looks like there will be two Monzas in Mettet...
belfastguzzi Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Well done Jaap. I think that it's a great option for 'freshening-up' the V.11 and maintaining interest in keeping it on the road. I look forward to seeing the transformation. I don't suppose that you will bring it to Ulster though..??? Give Antonio and friends your luggage to carry on their Sports. Congratulations! D
peterguzzi Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Wow...that looks the dogs bollocks! Like an old English friend of mine use to day... Question? That rear shock absorber looks very short? How long is it? Cause i could use a very short one for the Centauro monster
Guzzirider Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Congratulations Jaap- looking forward to seeing it! Nice gloss black all over I reckon- go for the Darth Vader look!
The Monkey Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Satin black the header pipes and collector to match the valve covers, and consider a third color for the porkchops (gold/copper like the forks).
richard100t Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Black exhaust and the Rosso red valve covers. I would leave the stickers off too, but thats just me. as for the rest of the bike I would leave it Scura black just as it is. It should look very good with those fancy gold wheels you have.
Orson Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I'm not really sure on the paintscheme and the exhausts yet. Suggestions are welcome! Tenni racing green would be the logical choice
Van Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Tenni racing green would be the logical choice I know that I could be accused of being just a little bit biased,...but. Tenni Green IS the right colour I recall seeing pics posted somewhere of some Guzzi championship winning bikes that where painted Tenni green that looked stuning...and yes BFG and all those other Scura types, black is a cool colour for the Guzzi, but ANY old bikes can be black, AJS's to Zundap's...but ONLY Guzzi's can be Tenni Green ! Cheers Van
Admin Jaap Posted February 8, 2010 Author Posted February 8, 2010 Tenni green only looks good on the old Guzzi dustbin racers. The greem Millepercento MGS is just plain ugly... Sorry Van, no green! I quite like the Triumph 675 black/gold paintscheme, but am still open for different opinions!
Tom M Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 How about some combination of the red & gray that your LeMans was born with? I think you used to really liked those colors.
Dan M Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I quite like the Triumph 675 black/gold paintscheme, but am still open for different opinions!
