This is a pic of little bro Marcus's old R1150GS.

Marcus now has a R1200GSadventure which is lighter and more powerful. He uses it off road a lot, and there's a lot of off road in South Africa.

Awesome looking bike.  Although the dealer site says the cooling is "Liquid plus cooling fins".
And 838 lbs! :o

I sure hate to see good engineering wrapped up in such crappy looking styling.

The Ducati 900SS outstanding looks and a transverse crank 90deg V so good balance.

Hmmm, Transverse engine ,, ehhh? Ive seen some debate on the definition. Some say its the cylinder orientation, some say its the drive to crank shaft orientation..

anyone wanna rassle over it?

Engine/ Motor
Putato/putoto


Now thats some engineering. If a guy was the right size to fit into the area for the legs & butt, then it would be like wearing that thing. Its so well designed, it shouldnt be called a seat or even a saddle.
It functions as a
Human As5 Interface Device

    (HAID) for short.

Now, when ya got yer HAID up yer butt,, youre riding your machine.

"It has a very nice balancer system."
Why am I attracted to this stuff?
That and anything "Desmodromic".
Oh and Moto Guzzi video's with sound on YouTube...
