badmotogoozer Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Bob, that is one very sweet Triton! In my book there is *only* one real motorcycle - and that's a pre-unit Triumph in a featherbed frame! I will build one some day when a few more projects are completed... cheers, Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchbob Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Thanks guys! I have two featherbeds, the slimline with the pre-unit 650 Trumpet in it [and close-ratio Norton box], and my wideline which has a Norton twin in it, but not the original engine. I love them both and I do think the featherbed frame is still a reference point for judging good handling and roadholding. The Triton is the quicker of the two [neither motor is standard] but the all-Norton bike is very sweet-running, and not slow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan M Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Great looking bike, Dan. That Magni fairing is perfect with the lines of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchbob Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Lovely bike. There's something about that fairing that is redolent of the Mark 1 and the original 900SS Duke: that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe camarda Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Kanoa...If Ive said it once Ive said it a million times... the red framed silver V11 Sport is one of the nicest looking Moto Guzzis ever made. And the Magni only serves to highlight that. Love yer bike Is the seat a Corbin? Covered in suede? BTW...I used to live in Brooklyn (60 - 63), just outside of Ft. Hamilton. Attended St. Patrick's Elementary School. Ha...lotta good that did me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosso corsa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Nice bike indeed! And, a beautiful setting too. PS: I would also like to know the brand and type of the seat. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanoa Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 hey guys, thanks for the kind remarks. and good hearing from a bk native! the seat is indeed a shaggadelic suede corbin number, i scored it off ebay last year. it is quite comfortable, but unfortunately reserved for sunny days only. i really love the retro look of the magni, but it requires the bars to be verrry low. here's my flickr set for more guzzi-porn.
