Selling my Granpasso

Sadly decided to sell it as I'm simply not using the bike due to divorce/house move and having to now store it away from home...just sharing this here in case anyone knows anyone who fancies one. It's being sold by Amore Moto in Whitchurch (Ben Wylie) from Saturday. Fab bike, not missed a beat. Serv...

Re: Broken Swingarm

I just checked mine ( 2013 GP) - the welds I can see are quite chunky, regular, and convex, but it's dark and the bike is dirty. I'll clean it next weekend and post pictures.

Re: Hi from a newbie

Just to echo what Steve and Chris wrote...I just imported a white GP, just after Chris did, I n fact I was out on it today. Sounds fab, pulls like a train and big and hairy enough to put a smile on your face. I tried BMW GS's, multistradas....none felt as poised or businesslike at the GP. I'm in the...

Re: Midlands ride out September 2015

Hi again....my apologies, no wheels as I've sold the Scrambler and my 'new' ( to me) Gran Passo is en route from Italy.

Have a great day and I hope to meet some of you soon - maybe at the Stafford show

Re: A question of height..

Hi B, thanks for that. Yeah I've sold it now and have a used GP coming from Italy. Even if I'd lowered the pegs on the Scrambler I always felt slightly 'hulking' on it and want the touring bias of the GP. I'm just going through the fandango of Italian bureaucracy :shock: No wonder their economy is g...

Re: A question of height..

I've bought the white GP ex-rental bike. APTC, Ohlins shock, panniers and I've paid them to put the heated grips on it. 7000km. Must say their pricing is rather aggressive - I wouldn't be happy if I was selling one privately.

Now the faff of getting it registered...

Re: A question of height..

Hi, yes I saw the blue one and have been in dialogue with the factory on that and some other possibilities, but they're closed until September. I'd love to get out there but the cheap flights aren't that cheap!

Hoping I might just be sorted in time for that ride out..

Re: A question of height..

Hi Dom, actually I have discovered courtesy of the chiropractor that my right femur is fractionally shorter than my left. Hence the pain being left side only.

Ah well!

Re: A question of height..

Update I've looked into altering the seat, air hawk seat cushion and tinkering with the pegs. I've concluded that I'm just a bit too big for it and I need a different bike. I've tried the Ducati Multistrada, BMW GS1200 and F800GS, liked none of them. Mainly for the engine. NLM had a Gran Passo in fr...
