How many different Madura models were manufactured?
Two engine displacements, the V700 (698cc) and V1200 (1168cc), each included three different model numbers, depicted by the suffix letters after the model number:, GLF, GLF2 and GLG. Maduras originally came in only three factory-standard colors: Black, Maroon and Charcoal. Candian editions included the charcoal bikes, and foreign editions had gold spoked V700’s and V1200’s (see them in this foreign brochure)! The California models have emmissions control canisters on the left side of the frame for catching fumes from the gas tank, and they have a 3.2 gallon tank, versus a 3.4 gallon tank for all the rest of them. V700’s have the distinctive chrome rear fender and seat rails that go all the way from the top of the rear seat to the bottom of the frame, while V1200’s have painted rear fenders which matched the tank and side covers.
