Quite possibly another GS final drive failure victim showing his solution?

Hope it turns out to be a great bike and give the GS some competition - it's the best thing that could happen for future GS owners.

You obviously aren't familiar with Moto Guzzi.

Red King · 10-24-2007, 06:51 AM

Not Sure why,..... but it reminds of the New Tiger 1050? Looks too sporty to be any competition to a true Dual Sport machine... Looks nice though.
Have to agree though......... Should be moved out of GSpot before someone takes the bait

CheckerdD · 10-24-2007, 06:58 AM

I hope Guzzi does well with the bike. Frankly the more competition the better for consumers. For example, if it had not been for KTM's sucess with the 950, I doubt BMW would have spent the money to make the 1200 anything near as good a bike as it is.

Nice bike.

Emoto · 10-24-2007, 08:17 AM

Did they put the peanut butter camshafts in that one?

Leif is on a mission. He posted this same blurb to bmw-gs mailing list, after a long troll on FD failures...

He was unable to convince them that HD;s are more reliable, despite trying very hard.

Nice bike - Who cares what the motivation is to post? Me, I can see the relationship between Moto Guzzi and BMW's Boxer.

Thanks for posting but I might get one as an addition to the GS rather than a replacement!

...looks like the R1200GS' prodigal son!
