Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport 8V
1200 SPORT 105 CV OF CLASS
The look we already know but the 105 CV of “grunt” from the
“Quattrovalvole” engine is all new. The power delivery is silky smooth and, on
the open road, the bike’s true sports character shines along with numerous
technical innovations and a new sense of style. The new “over and under” exhaust
system communicates the innate power and innovation of the engine as does the
new triangular base of the silencer and the new clear rear lamp cluster. Better
performance ensures that the new 1200 SPORT 4V will become an icon for riders
seeking real sports performance, not just show. Good taste is assured by the
style that gives this Moto Guzzi its character. This style can be seen in the
screen and the saddle that house racing number plates like competition models,
it can be seen in the white-faced instruments, in the Brembo Gold Series brakes
and in the set-back aluminium footpegs.
The superb handling is due to the exceptional rigidity of the twin cradle steel frame, the forks and the fully adjustable shock absorber that guarantee both comfort and excellent road holding. Those of you that go touring will really appreciate the protection offered by the windscreen and how this sports bike so easily becomes a real Grand Tourer complete with heated hand grips, panniers, top box and satellite navigation system.
No matter the speed, the brakes provide very wide safety margins and consist of
twin 320 mm discs with radial mounted four-piston calipers at the front and a
single 298 mm disc at the rear. The brake sizes are the same on the ABS version.
Review We're not used to Guzzi coming up with new
models, so when the long established Italian firm unveils something fresh it's
big news. But one development that's slipped under the radar has been its
significantly reworked for 2009 1200 Sport.
Brembo's Gold Series brakes give an impressive amount of bite and feel,
especially when you consider the bike's weight. In an attempt to offset the cost
of the more expensive engine the wavy brake discs of the two-valve model are
replaced by basic round ones. It may have lost some bling in this department,
but the 4V is no worse for it from a performance point of view. Source motorcycle-usa.com
