However, at my age, a bike like the CB works better for me, Though on paper the CB weighs as much or more than the Guzzi 1200 Sport, it feels lots lighter and carries its weight lower. The CB by comparison feels like I'm riding a 500.
Only downside to selling the 12S is that it is set up for touring, with HB mounts and 30 liter Juniors, Bagster tank bra and small tankbag. I also have a rear rack that I put on when traveling. However, I still have 'old faithful,' my 1991 BMW R100GS. Though a tall bike, she's narrow, and also carries weight low. Also equipped with BMW panniers and tank bag, and rear rack as part of the subframe.
I have really enjoyed my 2008 Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport over the past 9 years and 68,000 miles. But at age 76 (me), she's getting to be a bit top heavy for me. Time will tell. A really enjoyable ride on the Sport and I may decide to hang onto her for another year or so. Thanks for asking.
