My recently aquired 2021 KTM 1290 sas is an absolutely stonking bike. Having said that I was missing my Guzzi's. So I've purchased back my lovely 2V 1200 sport which along with the V85TT I put in part ex for the KTM. Thumbs up to Teasdales again, they sold me it back at what they gave me for it.
I had a couple of hours out on the new 850 V7. Lovely bike and well put together, motor felt quite punchy and the bike generally felt pretty nimble. The suspension was fine on good tarmac, but once on some rougher roads it just didn't cope well and I didn't want to start throwing hundreds of pounds at it to sort it out. Spotted my old 1200 there and thought, 'you're coming back home with me'. A lovely bike that I'd spent a fair bit of time and money on.
As an aside the poor bugger that purchased the V85tt Centenario had it pinched last week whilst on his hols.
