1200 Sport Ridden
Posted: 14 Jul 2008 09:56
Took the '1200 Sport' for a ride on Saturday -Having spent a whole day looking at it, at Beaulieu.
It is clear that MM are making good progress with new models:
The fact that 'Sport' is agile and has punchy performance is a given; but what did impress me was the fuelling and a perceived improvement in 'fit and finish'.
Those that have seen one of these bikes will know that it has real prescence.
The White blue/red colour scheme is stunning - Perhaps the green/yellow with white frame will have a different appeal?
I have not ridden the bike on the Motorway - Bit at high A road speeds the cockpit fairing does a good job of deflecting wind blast.
Would recommend taking one for a ride and at £7999 it is fair value for a bike that would probably be a 'keeper' and the same price a Ducati's 'Sport Classic'.
Be great to hear what anybody else thinks?
