supertwin1 Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Mike Stewart...hope you are recovering well. I'm with you on the Penton Jackpiner 175. Unfortunately as big as Texas is there's little room to ride, different than the "old days"!

Martin Barrett Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Well...... like all the other bikes in those pic's I built the V8 by hand paint job included.... anyone spotted the balls up with that paint job 70241[/snapback] Tank should be bare metal - fairing either red or green but tank bare Why didn't one of the tennisti spot that But a nice stable neather the less
dangerous Posted December 11, 2005 Author Posted December 11, 2005 Tank should be bare metal - fairing either red or green but tank bare Yip... bugger it the V8 tank was aluminium and the fairings primer green... were as the 350cc bike was all green.... Heres a pic of the real thing the only time it has ever been out side Europe and we had it here in little old NZ (was even ridden round the track, what an awesome sound)
DeBenGuzzi Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Yip... bugger it the V8 tank was aluminium and the fairings primer green... were as the 350cc bike was all green.... Heres a pic of the real thing the only time it has ever been out side Europe and we had it here in little old NZ (was even ridden round the track, what an awesome sound) 70258[/snapback] That thing looks so ungodly complicated for its time....Its not much of a wonder why they didn't put it into a production of some kind I don't think they could have handled it and then sold any for the money it would have cost.
docc Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Just saw one of these at the Guggenheim exhibit in Memphis. The eight exhausts are individually routed. The thing must sound like an orchestra!
dangerous Posted December 11, 2005 Author Posted December 11, 2005 Just saw one of these at the Guggenheim exhibit in Memphis. 70295[/snapback] Yeah I saw a doco on the top 10 bikes the other day on TV and the V8 was mentioned, it was in the US... but by memory isent there some one building replicas there for anyone that has the money? was this one of those bikes?
Paul Minnaert Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 yes replicas are build by sebastiono Marcellino. I heard it this summer at the trofeo rosso, on my website lots of pictures.
jrt Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 The thing must sound like an orchestra! Sounds pretty cool- check here: http://www.mgcycle.com/V8.html for a sound file. J
DeBenGuzzi Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 That makes me want to get a Brushed Alum Tank on my V11....I guess there is another peice to my puzzle now instead of a paint job... Hmmmm.
Guest Cantaloop Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 My V11 LeMans is my second Guzzi... An my California EV is my first one.. for traveling.. my little Girlfriend is 1,86m high...
Guzzirider Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 I have an HD Fatboy for track days, hill climbs and drag racing and a V11 for posing in my leather chaps and looking baaad. Guy
