docc Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 Not just for Greenies, but here is an early V11 Sport review (in Italian): 2
Scud Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 Looks like that CL ad is gone. That sure looked like a good bike for a below-average price. I just got back from riding my Greenie to Scottsdale, AZ. I went out Monday morning, worked Tuesday and back home Tuesday night. After a few shakedown runs, this was her real break-in test. She ran flawlessly - even in 105F (40.5C) heat on the slab leaving the Phoenix area at rush hour. I thought the idle was a bit rough a couple times at stop lights in extreme heat, but no stalling, no hiccups, no problems. She had 5,400 miles on her when I left, and 6,200 now. So she's been on the road for 17 years, and 13% of her total use was in the last two days. I got some GoPro footage of a fabulous ride through California back roads during sunrise on Monday. 4
czakky Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 The titanium pipes really work on the greenies.
Scud Posted September 13, 2017 Author Posted September 13, 2017 The titanium pipes really work on the greenies. And the chrome bar-end mirrors... gives her a little extra shine from top to tail. And I used the "old-school" chrome, finned exhaust flanges - the ones that need the fussy little inserts to clamp down properly. I think she needs some shiny fluid reservoir caps.
docc Posted September 13, 2017 Posted September 13, 2017 Shiny stuff on early Sports! What would Luciano Marabese say ?
footgoose Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 WoW, looking great Scud. That one is special. Docc, I watched the Italian vid. I understood him say "naked" and "monster" in English. Didn't really need any translation for the ad. 1
Scud Posted September 14, 2017 Author Posted September 14, 2017 Shiny stuff on early Sports! What would Luciano Marabese say ? I imagine he would say to me: "Looks good, you should think about polishing the foot levers like Docc did. 1
