Bolsover, no longer the home of the Beast.
My 1200ST got written off last week, so I'm looking for a replacement. Always fancied a Guzzi of some sort, not fussed on the Stelvio looks tbh, but the Norge is drawing me in.....:) Do they carry mileage well? Spotted a 50k-miler in what seems to be nice nick, fairly local to me, so no potential for mega-miles round trip disappointment should it be over-described, just wondering if it'll feel worn out. :nenau

If it is an 8v 1200 buit before 2013 ensure that it has been rollerised ie the flat tappets replaced with roller ones the flat tappets wear and can cause significant damage.

Other than that great bikes
 
A chap in Hull has one that has 96,000 on it. Reckons its been a peach.
 
They do seem to handle mileage pretty well. There are plenty of examples that do above average mileage. When I was looking quite a few years ago it seems that unlike the other Italian brand Ducati therefore do tend to use them more .
