Mike That is so terrific, Mike! Thank you so much for posting this! I tried to find the images not long ago to repair another thread and could not find them on the vast web. (Let us see if we can post the hi-res images in Fileshare. I'm not sure the logistics of that, but will pm you since the image size may require hosting.)
footgoose Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 The green Sport is truly gorgeous. I wonder if a half fairing version 'in the flesh' might be too much of a good thing. Are there any other photos of this design? The Champagne '02 would be the first LM in (almost) one color. I would love to hear their thoughts at the time on decisions made for colors. I have no problem envisioning an all silver, red frame LM. Possibly the first 2 model years having no red or yellow choice, as well as no fairing, was an attempt at distinction from the earlier Sport I line.. ? The green Sport seems to say "this is still a traditional Guzzi" to those, at the time, who may have considered the new design too radical. The Telaio Rosso homage was enough, I think, to leave the fairing off. Also... at the time... would green have been the "flagship" color with black and silver as alternatives? Any pricing variation? 2

bbolesaz Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Tell Mike to email the files to me, I can host it on my site and provide a link.
bbolesaz Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Got the file from Mike. Enjoy. BTW, it is 250MB, so be patient while it downloads. http://www.brianboles.org/img/Stuff/V11_Proposal.tiff 1
guzzler Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Bloody hell, I'm surprised at just how good the Greenie looks with the Le Mans fairing! It would probably also put a wee bit of weight over the front too, which may not be a bad thing either. I'm still kinda smitten with her with the wee Stucchi model though! Cheers Guzzler
Admin Jaap Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Sometimes my memory leaves me hanging, but I recall the original Marabese drawing ^^ was on eBay and I have sent it to someone here on this forum. About 15 years ago... 1

This weekend. Free beer. (Guzzi content) Good beer, too.. generally 10 or more micro brews on tap thurs-sun. Great riding in the bucolic driftless region of western Wisconsin. Oh, yeah.. Wisconsin cheese and brats.. (always wanted to use that one) Plenty of characters to hang with.
