I`ve just recently moved house and finding myself a little short on funds I have sadly sold my lovely yellow superlight and Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport. This left me able to buy the house without further borrowing but without a bike for the first time since 1979, a very sad state of affairs. Imagine my delight then when someone on here posted something about a Monster S2r1000 going very cheap at Moto Rapido. Sorry to say I cannot recall the poster but thank you whoever it was as I am now the very proud owner of it. It is a 2007 bike with just under 20k miles and in what can only be described as very tatty condition cosmetically. That does not really bother me as it has full service history and mechanically it feels great with only a few things not working properly and nothing has fallen off in the 150 odd miles since I bought it last week . What more can you ask for ? Maybe I`m easily pleased ? Those of you that have ridden anything with the 2 valve 1000cc engine know what a fabulous thing it is. Certainly suits me well anyway as it has enough go to keep me happy but not so much that it feels like it is getting away from me if you know what I mean. A big thank you to the staff at Moto Rapido, they treated me marvelously despite it being my first visit there and the fact that I was buying a whole bike for pretty much the price of a termi exhaust system .
