Visit to Cornwall Kawasaki Centre

[Saul]

Rode down to Lanner this morning with my mate Steve who obviously has money burning a hole in his pocket.     He only bought his CBF about three weeks ago, last Friday he impulse bought a Guzzi V85 TT. 

 

Very nice it is to.    Done 9,000 miles.  

 

Some nice bikes out the back.   

Also loads of nice stuff in the show room.  Pricing wasn’t bad either.    Especially liked this new all black Z900RS.  

 

Home made drain cover made me smile.    

On the way home popped into Dameralls for a cup of tea as we were riding past.  

 

Did about 90 miles bimbling about.    Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday

Cheers Saul.
I like the look off those Guzzi's too.

I loved my R1150GS, that Guzzi probably feels like a smaller version one of that, which can only be a good thing.

I’m curious to try one out, as a non offroad pretentious machine, just a nice bike. The other day I was looking at a Mandello up close and it is a good looking bike as well, maybe Guzzi is worth a consideration.

My mate Martyn loves his V85TT.  It's his go to bike when we go out for our group rides and he has 4 other bikes to choose from.  Harley SlideHideGlide thing, New Kawasaki Z900RS, Siebenrock 1000cc converted R80 and a K75s.  With an exception I think he has pretty good taste in bikes.    Martyn was looking at a Mandello before he got the Kawasaki.  We have been taking the piss out of Steve given that he doesn't seem to want to think for himself when it comes to bike choice.  Copying me with the CBF600 and Martyn with the Guzzi.  Also on Steve's shortlist was a Triumph 900 Scrambler like Andy and a CB750 Hornet like mine.    Suppose there is sense to Steve's thinking he has bought bikes that have shown themselves to be reliable and fit for our groups type of riding but even so there are so many good interesting bikes out there to choose from.    There were several really nice options in the Kawasaki showroom in his price range.   His money and his decision I suppose.  I liked the Gold R1250RS in the showroom.

I don’t think a Z900 is too much of an exception.
