After all of the pictures of cars for sale I've seen on Craigslist in which the "photographer" was holding out a finger to hide the car's license plate, I looked at this picture and thought, "why would his V20 have a license plate out there on the crank?"

It looks great to see that shade of blue out under natural sunlight. It looks a lot different from pictures I've seen of it, so far.

Great bike - a cobalt blue and white shirt would look great with it.

Maybe blocking the radar detector, a necessary accessory to prevent getting a speeding ticket on such a fast bike.
I like the blue. Cool!

I love to break speed limits. 25's are easy 35's tough still working on 45. Once had two cops stop me for following too close. I had a hard time explaining drafting a Winnebago.

The other day I almost succeeded in using the bike lane as an overtaking lane except for the damn parked cars

I have clipless. A little more time with the platforms before the change. The picture is my son. He said the same, put the clipless on already!

Thanks guys. I have owned about 7 recumbents, sold them all. I thought I was done with them because the new bikes are better and of course the bents don't climb. Took a chance. Wow, what a paradigm shift. Regarding appearance, some friends that ride said they would not be caught dead on recumbent until they saw the V20. The bike is "freaky" fast. Freaky fast.

The "new" hydroform Silvio and Vendettas are just somehow indefinably sexy.

Especially when the frame is painted in a light colour, NOT black, so the smooth hydroformed shape is more visible!!!

 

[bladderhead]

they would not be caught dead

Don't say that. Some motorist might try it.

"I will learn to ride this bike if it kills me." Don't say that either.

I definitely said that. Still say it.

I can't get over how intense that blue looks in this picture. I keep coming back to look at it, wondering if they all look that way "out in the wild," so to speak.

 

[Phantomrider]

Yep, that Blue is simply amazing and I love mine too.

 

[jond]

Yes wow wee great colour cobalt blue looks smicko and fast.
And the yellow is sublimely historically perfecto.

I still love that original dedicated vendetta logo. Totally mean. And I like my bike to say vendetta announcing itself to the jaw dropping public.

But the lines of the new improved bike and colour scheme / graphics are truly beautiful and oh so clean and fast. Can’t beat sense and style. Enjoy.

Great bike all of them.

Yeahh, that blue nearly makes you blind by looking at...
