This is the only bike I have ever owned from new. Unfortunately, family commitments mean that I can no longer justify keeping it and so here goes;
Reg July 2023 on a 23 plate, bought from On Yer Bike in Aylesbury. Currently on about 6500 miles. Not really used since last service at which complete set of front pads were fitted, as a slightly sticky piston meant one of the old pads had worn more than the others.
£10,500 is what I am asking.
It is the S variant so has;
Ohlins semi-adaptive suspension
Four riding modes
Quickshifter
Heated grips
Bluetooth connectivity which allows you to connect your phone and also the satnav via an app
Electric screen
TPMS
Traction control
Cruise control
Cornering ABS
TFT dash
And not forgetting the revolutionary flappy wing things which pop out the fairing at 50mph in certain riding modes. If you don't know what this is, don't worry about it, a phrase involving the words chocolate and teapot springs to mind.
I have also fitted;
Factory panniers with inner bags
Centre stand
Grip Puppies
Bar risers
Tall screen, can't remember the make but I actually have another different tall screen and the original
SW Motech engine guard
Hepco and Becker rack with H and B Junior 40L top box. Also have another different H and B rack which I bought in error but never bothered to return!
Heated comfort seat fitted plus the original
Evotech rad guard.
TFT screen protector. Not a touch screen but you don't want it getting scratched.
Also have an adaptor lead for an OBD2 diagnostic tool and a fuck off big 65mm socket and breaker bar for the rear wheel nut.
Lovely bike. The motor is just great, some of the tech I could mostly live without to be honest. You will see from one of the photos below that there is a heat shield/guard missing that covers the ugly link pipe section between the can and the cat. I took it off to clean behind it and my son then ran over it in his car! I have a new one on order from Fowler's but not received it yet.
Those that know about these bikes will be aware of the common issue with crap coolant hose clamps. This bike had this from day one and was fixed under warranty at the first service. At its second service, as mentioned above it had full set of front pads (EBC, better than the OE Brembo ones, and cheaper). At this time it had a recall for clutch actuator seals and a couple of warranty issues attended to, screen motor and an oil sensor. Well, it is Italian.
Its a two year warranty so expires in July but can be extended. I would recommend doing so and would be doing that if I were keeping it.
Only negative is the tyres, although not completely worn out, do really need replacing as the handling has gone off. Can't complain though as they are original and have 6.5k on them. For what its worth they are Pirelli Angel GTs and they have lasted three times as long as the Pirelli Phantoms I used to have on my Jota back in the day. Tyres can be a very personal thing so thought best to let next owner fit what they prefer.
Pics below, yes I know they're probably shite.
This really is a cracking bike. As I have heard said its a modern Guzzi but with just enough of the old Guzzi-ness in its character.
Happy to answer any questions and feel free to take the piss out of my photos.
There's always some twat that hasn't noticed the price so will mention again, its £10,500
