No picture but I bought a new 1969 Triumph 500 T100C that was green.

1972 Benelli 650S Tornado with original paint. I bought it in England in 2008 and it was actually featured in Motorcycle Classics magazine where it wore Tommaselli clipons, vice reguler handlebars. Here it is pictured outside my house in Italy about 5 yrs ago:

I have heard through the grapevine that a kermit-like Greaso has been seen lurking in Oz.
-
Red, blue, black, white, grey - no green, though I did see a green Lagonda the other week . No photo - parked in shadow.
-
I did - VFR 750
I was stolen one night by a scrote and recovered the next morning by the police
Once I'd fixed the things they had busted to steal it I took it out and broke the chain, and the damage that caused wrote it off :sad:
Still the replacement was my Cali which brought me into the Guzzi fold!

In my mind, prettiest bike I ever owned. July 2012-Sept 2015.

My '03 Bonneville T100 was Aztec Gold and Goodwood Green. Well, it was before I dropped it. Pictured below with my son onboard in 2004. I'll be giving him that bike this spring...

Interesting, I've had a few green bikes. I had a green CT70 in my early days of riding. The two bikes I've painted were done in green. My first street bike was an '84 GPz900R that I had painted Kawi-Green, and my current '02 CalStone I have painted in late-40's OD. First clutch bike I bought for the boy was a nice '11 KLX110. Nice looking little dirty.

The one above is more green than mine.

The greenest (?) bike I ever had was a Kermit the frog green 1959 BMW R27. It sure was bright green & not in a good way.
While it's not green yet, my in-process V700 Corsa-Record will be zinc phosphate green just like the real Record bikes.

My one and only Green bike, 1979 Yamaha XS1100SF 1300 Wisco Kit, Kerker 4 into 2 with alternating cross overs, Instead of 12 into left pipe and 34 into right, it was staggered, 1&3 into left pipe 2&4 into right. Gave it a vey different sound. Bike was insane fast, even with a custom fork brace and added frame bracing it was like trying to tame king kong.

Only had 1 green bike. My old man wouldnt ride it, green is bad luck.

My Aermacchi was green. The TR6R started green/gold but by the time I got her the paint had turned mostly to rust. Come to think of it, the factory color of the CB500/4 was similar to the Triumph, but I tossed the original tank when I installed the Dunstall bits. Those three bikes were '69, '70 and '71 model years -- must have been a fashionable shade then.

Here is my own version of 'Army' green.

I was always told to be suspicious of green motorcycles due to Revelation 6:7,8
"7 When the lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Go!” 8 I looked, and there was a pale green horse! Its rider’s name was Death,"

Yep.
Had this 2002 ZRex for 10 years. Shoulda kept it.

Yes, that was the rule, especially with old school Harley / Indian racers back in the day...but Kawasaki capitalized on it...saying green was GOOD and they took it to a new marketing level! :thumb: :smiley: :cool:

No, I never have.

Two,,,never again !
The HD got defected off the road, then the forks snapped (funny 'bout that) :copcar:

The CB750 was shortened by a taxi that got in my way

My very first real motorcycle (not a mini-bike) was a Honda SL100 in John Deere colors :grin:
Bought in 1971 with my lawn mowing, hay pitching, odd-job money.
I don't have a photo of it - but it looks just like this one

Thats interesting , what your "Old man" said.. I have had a few old time "harley types" tell me the same thing. Green is bad luck on a motorcycle. ( I used to have a green Kawi Nomad)

HD superstition was that green would be bad luck for a HD bike. I had my Recon painted MR2 blue. Still own my green bikes 2 1991 1000S and a 1993 Strada.

Had two of those R models , same color , both '70 , probably my favorite Triumphs of several . An unrestored one showed up at vintage gathering a couple years ago , made my pulse race a bit .
