sure it is, I had ridden a day on borrowed 1200 Sport in 2up in twisty road. The 1200 was much more stable than my V11 in hard turns, hard left/right turns down the hill. Also, the brakes are just superb on 1200. What I also liked a much is the riding position on 1200. Agressive, bend forward the front wheel I got better feeling compared to my V11 Le Mans with clip-ons.
What I missed was the shake-baby-shake of V11. You give her a load and it goes up like locomotive.
so technically? Everything that V11 does can 1200 sport do better. Had a great dilemma also. V11 won. No way.
Enyoy both these beauties Japp!
PS. does www.1200sport.com exist?
After my crash I had the gbox housing smashed in several pieces, I ordered a original new one from Guzzi dealer in Czech, costed me about 300€ and arrived in 6 working days from italy...
It's not that bad, isnt it?
Hi !
It is quite easy, not as easy as on the latest models but still quite easy. Start with right side. First close the fuel cock, disconnect the fuel reserve sensor, take out the hoose from the pet-cock. (use some tissues as petrol will flow from the hoose). Then the left side. Simply disconnect the hoose from the left side and voilá! just loose the nut under the seat and the tank is free
You can also close the right cock and put the ignition on to drew the fuel from the hoose...
Don't worry, you will make it
I have visited friend in ducati service last night...
other posibility from RSV forks are forks from Multistrada or... and here comes the sun... hypermotard
770mm il lenght is just perfect...
but you will still have to get new clamps and etc...
mpg? I would like to state my fuel consumption but I am really unused to mpg value
all I can say, with Leo Vince SBK pipes and KN filter without any corrections I had 6 litres for 100km. Thats nearly 300km per tank! Not bad at all! But it was prety lean and was pinging nearly everytime. After adding PC commander and enriching the map I got about 7-9 litres per 100km which goes around 230-250km per tank. Mainly also thanks to fact, all my friends drives RSV or GSXRs, not easy to keep up with them but Guzzi there is nothing properly tuned Guzzi couldn't handle
On circuit I ran about 10-13 litres per 100km.
howgh
make an account on www.stein-dinse.com they ship worldwide and have great stock on V11 parts
I use now only them as Czech Guzzi dealer is just EFE (everytime f...g experience)

unless you have engine set up directly to Gasoline with higher octan number (like BMW has sensors for 98 premium octane) it is just waisting money I have never experienced problems with the most usual and cheap Gasoline 95. (however I dont buy petrol from stations like Tesco, Globus and ect. I once felt very strange when filled 5 litres canyster and had to pay for 6 litres
hey I forgot you have 87 octans in the states
