The aprillia 660 is just over 10k here and 270k zar. no way will the the desert X be 260k. That would be below landed cost. Its a R300k+ bike for sure..........

Will only appreciate from 260 I reckon. using the aprillia as a comparison this is going to be close to 325 I reckon. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a Triumph Rocket is a special thing. What possessed them to put that motor into a motorbike is beyond me but I'm glad they did. I think Triumph copied the American's "ain't no substitute for cubic inches" Duane_Bosch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 6, 2022 Share The Guzzi guys are insisting I come back and give the MGX-21 a spin on a nice sunny day (Today was a shocker to be on a bike in CT). That V85 I rode today was a very interesting ride, and in a good way. It really has my attention, but also has me wanting to try more bikes. I had this demo bike, and the red/white in real life looks really good. I have lots to say about this experience today, but not ready to put it to text. All I can say is this little bike is pretty awesome. https://italianmi.co.za/product/demo-2020-moto-guzzi-v85-tt/ Eddy Gordo, WaynejG and IceCreamMan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 8, 2022 Share So after riding Guzzi, I just do not understand why motorbikes do not come with autocancelling indicators ........ it is such a simple thing, but really why oh why do you make the rider have to cancel the indicator after turning.

RoddieJ Posted May 8, 2022 Share I believe it’s a Harley thing... Although I stand to correction. My BMW cancels if lean is sufficient, otherwise gotta cancel. And that’s a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaynejG Posted May 8, 2022 Share My Dyna Wide Glide had self cancelling indicators. The Rocket not. Will admit they are handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Confession time ... I have been looking at middle weight adventure bikes on youtube, and looking a lot ..... it is just that they are generally just so bloody ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
