Well this elicited some mixed reactions when it cropped up on two recent threads. I rather liked it and decided to take a look,fatal mistake.

2002, 11154 miles, two owners.
Anyway compared to Humbug its very low key and subtle

Havent a clue why the blue looks purple in the photos but its Pacific Blue.

It's a digital camera. They do that...

I like the paint BTW. Its a bit different but looks right, except maybe the bellypan. It looks too heavy in the blue. Perhaps a repaint to match the rest of the bike.

Nice one!!! That's how I acquired a R1200S!! Only thing I didn't like was the indicator pods. Maybe look better in the flesh but love the paint job

Good for you!

Hope it pleases when ridden back to back with the 1200.

As said - the bellypan could do with complimenting design.

Advice taken , roll bar gone......................and yes, its slightly lower than the R12S.
Love to do Wales Steve, but not really worth going all that way for one days rideout.

That's lovely, nice purchase! The colours are superb.

Would quite like a grab rail like that for my other half - anyone know where I can get one?

Nice bike and lovely photo.

Did the Guzzi survive the garage "reshuffle"?

eyore · Post by **eyore** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 8:57 pm

Guzzi got the heave ho Nigel, dunno why really as it wasn't a bad bike at all. Just didn't excite me in any way at all, too bland I suppose which is an odd explanation as everyone who owns Guzzis says they are full of character.
Anyway more than happy with the new bike except for the tank range which is a bit lacking. 115 miles today to the reserve light

Very nice, eye catching and different!

115 miles is not too far off for the light to come on, had mine on at 99 miles once, 125-130 is normal for mine with sensible head on, the quicker it comes on means you are probably enjoying yourself
