LowRyter Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 I didn't catch the year of the bike, so I can't tell if this a red frame bike or if the frame was painted orange with the rest of the bike. Owning a greenie, the color stunning in person. I think it's one of the prettiest bikes ever. If you go that route, I would make sure the frame was painted red. OTOH, if you go to one of the simpler colors, like black or silver, I probably wouldn't worry about the frame and the body colors would be easier to match and paint. I suppose the tricolor would be the most challenging and then you'll want to paint the frame black. Anyway, you can't go wrong if it's what you want.

vtwins4life Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Sorry I snagged the carbon LaFranconi's before you noticed them on US ebay yesterday. I almost fell over when I won them at $66. Where are all the Guzzi parts buyers hiding? VT4L

luhbo Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 Well, for the looks only it was a steal. Otherwise there's no difference to the standard ones. Just another sleeve. Same 10 kg steel cans inside.

guzzler Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 GREEN GREEN GREEN !! I may be a little biased though. After 10 years with my greenie I can still grab a glass of shiraz and stare at her! And I always give her a last look before heading in after a ride! Cheers Guzzler Ps Welcome mate, whatever colour you choose you have a very special bike now, ENJOY. 1
fotoguzzi Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 A couple HD emblems would look right at home on the orange, just add a little black. Is that green the same as what you can see on some VW bugs from the same era?

docc Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I'm with LowRyter. There is nothing like the original V11 Sport Green. It is not the 70s V7 Sport Green, not the "Carcano" /Tenni green, not the modern V7 green. It is a thing of of its own. Elusive, enticing, entrancing. I mean, look at how it has affected otherwise sane and sensible folk . . . 3
