Anyone run one? Any good?
My local Guzzi dealer had a couple of Norge's in as PX,
They couldn't tell if it was rollerised (main dealer go figure) and that put a lot of people off
Very easy to tell, just whip one of the valve covers off, takes 5minutes. I've looked at a few 12008v, where either the owner or dealer was not prepared to have a look. I wouldn't feel confident buying a flat tappet 8V.
Is it really that big a deal ?

I was very tempted - it was my out of love phase with the lemon
The 4V ? one was gone in days - the 8V ? was on the floor for ages -

Price wise it was around the 4k mark.
I did some research on the owners forums
I think the main thing with these is service history - and MG will contribute toward a repair if it has tappet / cam wear (parts but not labour) if it has full MD service history
Electrics can be a bit flakey too - digi dash can have a few dummy throwing problems.
