Beautiful Other Bikes! Stock

[pdedse]

Pdedse, funny that you mention the little Honda CG125. A few years ago I was crewing on a Baja team, and these little bikes were running all around Ensenada delivering pizzas. I fell in love with the little buggers and really wanted to bring one home. I even figured out how I could stash one in one of the parts rigs and get it back over the border. But, they're not U.S. legal, so there's no way I'd be able to title or register it, and my friends talked me out of doing it.

As far as beauty being in the eye of the beholder, when I saw my '07 R1200R sitting on the showroom floor for the first time, she stopped me in my tracks, and I had to have her. And I still would, had the electronic gremlins been a little less invasive.

Haja...that's funny. My CGL125 was in Costa Rica and at one pont I toyed with the idea of riding it back to the U.S. but was also unsure if I'd be able to register it here. I've driven Oregon to CR in a car and also down to Guatemala and back on my KLR650. Doing that long a trip on a 125 was going to take some time, but I think I could have made it. If anything really went wrong I was simply going to unload it wherever--meaning basically giving it away--and fly home. Instead I sold it to a friend in need in CR who makes very good use of it--sometimes he rides 3 and even 4 up to take his family here and there.

A few more I like to just look at. I've had the chance to ride the moto guzzi v7...it's nice. Although I think these particular pipes might be aftermarket, I think the originals were silver as well:


Suzuki TU250


Royal Enfield 350


Yamaha SR400

Yup pedse - nice selection. The V7 is very nice to look at for sure and has very good materials. The spirit is in the right place, but sadly lacking punch. Nevertheless, if I could properly fit in one, I'd probably own one.

Moto Guzzi vibrations are an integral part of driving pleasure, you feel the engine entering you, mental synapse between the right wrist and the left hemisphere of the brain

Ale, you feel the Guzzi's soul and they vibrate for a good reason ...
Moto Guzzis are very nice bike and there is a warm spot in my heart for them.
My fav are all Le Mans series and was close to buy a red one in the 90's

Speaking of Guzzis, there's been one of these on the showroom floor of the local dealer for quite some time. The looks tug at me, but I've vowed to stick with Big Red for now.

Yep. Drives me crazy every time I see the green Griso.

Yes, I happen to have a black 2007 Griso. I love it and will never sell that bike. The only way I could see it go is if I swap it for a Tenni-Green version if that ever shows up in my neck of the woods. There is something about that colour in combination with the brown seat that is just irresistible.

(*sigh*) I have the 2013 green with tan saddle Moto Guzzi Griso image on a computer desktop background since 2014.

I've always liked the matte green / healthy amount of black look, very nice Griso...I remember sitting on one in the Portland MG shop awhile back, but a friend told me the place has closed
While in-between my '14 Standard and my current '17ex, I gave consideration to the BMW R-90. I really like the "Pure" version that's out now. Both these color options I find beautiful:





If I were buying, I'd probably go with the gold; 483 lbs topped off, 1170cc, air/oil cooled, 110hp and priced at just under 10k.

I might just have to go have a "look".
