A two-tone Stella could be beautiful if done right!

Probably of their own making as these are not out yet and easy to do.

We just did a "Gulf Racing" Buddy 125 :D

I'll post one tomorrow as I forgot my phone.. (dumb@$$).
Still waiting on the #20 sticker to come in for it.
It is based on The Porsche 917 Le Mans "Gulf Racing" car that Steve MacQueen drove..

Nope. It is a factory made limited edition (limited in the US anyways. Perhaps even a one of a kind in the US).

There is the "Gulf Racing" Buddy 125.

I still have the #20 sticker coming in to put on the front fender and on the left rear side of the bike.

We will probably also paint the wheels and the front forks black, but trying to keep the cost down at this time.

I love the rear shot!

This is the "Star bicolor" ... I think from EICMA but really I have no idea.

This might be the blue one, but I have no idea where it's from or if it's accurate

The NoHo 2-tone Stella was commissioned by Genuine from PGO for use at shows. It's not the slate/creme of the other 4Ts; it's white & blue. It's really nice-looking. I've ridden it several times while without a scooter this summer (thanks, Mike!). Yet a few days ago, I was driving and saw this lovely scooter from a distance, only to realize as I got closer that it was Manny from the shop on the blue & white Stella. :)

[EDIT: Paint is same as above pic. The seat is a darker blue.]

Crummy parking garage pic! I think everyone entered their scoots in this concourse at the Petersen Automotive Museum; it got us free admission for two for the price of one.

the green is right but the blue is a 2t. - matches the one Eric saw though.

here are some "not likely's" but "guesses" fromthe internet I found.
these images are not available singularly so I cant show them here in the forum with "phpBB" - - but here are some "possibles"
maybe this one:

?

but, contrary to my belief, the light blue color is not impossible- just take a look at this:
http://www.twowheelsblog.com/galleria/l ... 2011-01/17
reminds me of blue slime for some reason

also this
http://www.twowheelsblog.com/galleria/l ... 2011-01/30

here is a neat one.

plus while I am at it - what is with these extra lights?

I am getting off topic, so I will stop. :-)

and it's a 4t right?

I worked for Schwinn in the late 90s as the dealer relations administrator. We did "dealer road shows" where we'd roll out the new models in lots of color schemes to get the opinion of dealers on what they think they could sale. Back at HQ when the shows were over, the bikes were given to employees so we often had one-of-a-kinds. I bet that was what this one was for Genuine- a sample color set :)

Yup, definitely a 4T!
