I bought a new Centenario early last year, sold it on here a few months later. It’s what I do, I never keep anything long, just get the itch to change, and love the buzz of a new bike, having done this for the last 40 odd years, I’ve had a few bikes.
I’ve never been keen on ‘revisiting’ but I’m getting a strange urge to have another V85. I don’t know why, but as I think back it was one of the most characterful bikes I’ve had. I loved the relaxed easy going engine, the vibes, the noise, the tank range, the quirky ‘retro Dakar’ style looks etc.
Didn’t like the switchgear, not overkeen on the TFT, build quality seemed good in some area’s, poor in others.
The bottom line is I think I’m going to have to get another, soon. Is this normal?
