knumbnutz Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Whenever I see a Greenie I can't help think it is a thing of beauty. Shape, style, colours... the out-of-the-box cafe racer 2

knumbnutz Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Has to be the naked though... I just can't find the love in my heart for the fairings...

Yeah, it surprised me that link displayed the later "faired" Sport design study from Marabese Design/ June 2000. Luciano, himself, said he designed the V11 Sport in one night, without being asked by any Guzzi management or others; as an inspiration. And he was adamant that his vision was in one color, "monochromatic." Luciano Marabese/ V11 Sport Designer 2
footgoose Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 the fairing "frame" mounting points are present on my early 2000 neck. It indicates something was planned early on.

Or were those mount points already on the SpineFrame from the faired SPOrT 1100/1100 Sport-i? From the Daytona, even?
footgoose Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Yeah, I forgot about those. No doubt they’ve been on the frame neck all along the spine era
docc Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Seems the V11 is wrought with a plethora of vestigial structures, but little if any forward thinking . . .

There's a reason I coined the phrase "going out of business since 1921." They've alway been a small company hanging on by their bootstraps, and making wonderful motorcycles with very little money. The last really competently engineered machine was the V7 Sport, IMHO. There is generally a lot of afterthought engineering. The Centauro was one of those worst cases, and our beloved V11 Sports are it's children. Ahh, forward thinking is for Honda.. 2
Tomchri Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Pawl spring in today, on my 03 Corsa I coud turn the 2 gears in and out of all 6 gears , not possible on the 01 Greenie, had to use the gear shaft to do the same?Orion gear oil, I think.Cheers tom. Sent fra min SM-G903F via Tapatalk 1
