New Bike

[Steffan]

Guzzi Breva - oh so tempting, so pretty, but sort of similar in concept to the airhead I have been running about on for years now.

The running about on for years statement is the concept, how long has poor bastard of a machine been in the garage? It would be cheaper to get it fixed properly once and for all.

And why did the Jawa not get a mention?

in this club its probably best not to go on about how much time various bikes spend in the garage, glass houses and all ..........................................

Ho Hum, time to go to work anyway :-(

[Richard]

Jawa.  Honestly

1150 Beemer is an Oil Head.

Jawa....MMmmmmmm....Had one as a sidecar tug and it did very well.
Wouldn't stop though !  Jawa/Cz drum brakes not always the best ;-)
My CZ 350 was a fine motorcycle.

New bikes have a disc of course....and as you are getting older Richard they have electric start

When did the Bavarian B*****D's go to CAN? Bussed up electrics and servo brakes are ahead of air con and ashtrays in a list of things you don't want IMHO.

I think the new Jawas are frozen the day the wall came down so do have a disc at one end.

Tim sold a nice little Jawa outfit the other day, Rotax 650 powered with big disc brakes.

 Guzzi v7 wins at the pre-see one in the flesh stage for having a 22 litre tank .

I have a mate (yes really) selling a Guzzi V7 if anyone is interested.

Is this it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Moto-Guzzi-V7-700-Ex-Police-Classic-Bike-like-V7-Special-Eldorado-850GT-/181270330445?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2a348dbc4d

Ideal for Richard, it'll look right at home in the lean-to, next to the BMW.

The thing I really like about this bike is that it is not mine

Bonnie.  Had mine for twelve years now.

Does everything I want it to do ( and a few I wish it wouldn't)......

Oh and riding it allows you to go to the seaside, kick over scooters, fight with mods and have a bag of chips after...

if you like the beemers then why not consider the airhead boxer. my 1150gs cost me 3k and is probably the best bike ive ever ridden, it starts on the button and goes like a train, it can potter or bend swing with the best of em. and it goes like the clappers if you wind it up. its also never missed a beat, like my old beemer k series which never missed a beat despite being 27 years old. and the build quality is just a level above most of the jap stuff.

Wasn't the 1150 an oilhead?

sorry, my mistake, i meant to say oilhead, yes they are, ive had many beemers, mainly airheads but had a couple of k series and now have the 1150gs, its by far the best of the lot.
