Two Italian's in my garage this morning.

Woke up this morning to this, CB1100 has left the building......

ST3 for sensible touring?
GRiSO for hooligan mode?

Spoilt for choice.
GRiSO for bare knuckle brawling and hairy chested hooning.
ST3 for Q ship attacks on sport bikes and long hauls in search of that perfect latte.
I approve.

Now that's a helluva garage to wake up to

Ironically, Ducati predominately make sports bikes .................
and Guzzi predominately makes tourers.

And I used to fit panniers to all my Le Mans's ................
and strip out my Cali's to sporterize them.

Enzo, I think you and I both are a little f&%ked up.

Ps. Nice garage fillers.

So you sold the CB Honda? I thought you really rated it? I personally have never been a fan of multis, in fact I find across the frame fours, even stupidly powerful ones, boring but I can sort of understand the attraction of a big old air cooled lump like the CB so why the change? Just interested......

I bought the CB as an antidote to the K1200 GT I sold earlier this year. It was too complicated and too heavy and I saw it as a time bomb warranty wise. The CB seemed simple and retro looking and I had several inline 4's back in the day so it struck a very responsive nostalgia chord. The problem with the CB is that it's too civilized and too smooth. It's like Honda builds near perfect bikes and then strips them of anything that can be labeled as " adding character." It sounds like a cliché but that how the bike felt, it looked great in the garage but on the road after riding my GRiSO, it was deadly boring. Live and learn I guess.

nice Ducati ST ...Enzo ..have ridden them before and they are a great bike, fast with excellent mid range ...
I have a 2005 Multistrada S and love the thing comparable in many ways to the ST series, enjoy and keep us posted..eh

Nice company for the GRiSO.
