Dumping the F800. Pegs are too high for me. The motor and brakes are very good.

Trading it for this...

1997 Magna with under 12000 miles

I always did like the magna. Seems like the last cruiser with balls Honda made

[1K9]

The Valkyrie is a magnificent cruiser with plenty of balls. I had one of the originals in 2007. Have tried two used ones and they have all disappointed. All had carburation problems even after servicing the jets and stuff. Been looking for one of the new ones. They are still above 10k. The Magna is just comfy, fast, light and cheap. Just can't let them sit.

selling the f800?? that would fit Neida perfectly, what year and how much?

[1K9]

2004 46K mi, 3000$ Still in the garage. Going to Dallas Friday to trade. Let me know if you are serious. Probably the Magna will be available in a few months. I thought Neida had the BMW Ninety

[Mexican]

Careful with the Magna. if i remember correct it is only a 4 speed and at higher speeds the vibration on the pegs get pretty intense, i know because i had one, even the same color scheme

[1K9]

Did you ever try shifting it into 5th?" It's a revy 9 thou rpm VFR motor.

My friend had a Magna and we rode lots of trips to Lake Tahoe. Talk about two evenly matched motorcycles. My Yamaha 1100 special and his Magna. We were even in every race unless someone missed a gear. Who ever got the jump would win. Fun times in the 90's.

[1K9]

The Magna is a deceiving Mighty Mouse! I have a back rest so I don't fly out the back.

[Mexican]

Could not remember for sure, alli remembered is the vibration on the footpegs

[1K9]

That's good for the circulation.

[Mexican]

good way to look at it

Tripps; Has Dave had any problems with his Guzzis? Looking to try this. 750. Sounds great!

Picking this up tomorrow.

[Tripps]

IDK about that one, looks like the motor got turned sideways?

[Tripps]

Not really, except he has a rear brake locking up today he's trying to fix for an overnight ride tomorrow and Saturday. Guzzi Dan

Now, this is a Sport Touring. More sport than touring like the R1100S. I would remove all the lower plastic but there are radiators and other stuff underneath.

Here's what you want

[1K9]

You like the Kbikes?! They are cheap to get into. Don't know about keeping them running. I will try an R1150R when it shows at the right price. Right now with the Rocket and the Magna I should be good. Myght look at the Breva Guzzi and see if the owner want to dump it. He says the bikes comes with a rebuilt extra motor. That sounded scary to me.

[Tripps]

Keep them running? Ha, there's a reason they are called the Flying Brick, they run 200,000+ miles regularly. Best all around bike I've ever ridden. I test rode the K1600, nice bike, but they ruined it by making it a land barge, almost 800 lbs, I think. I told the salesman sorry, my 15 year old 1200 is the better bike.

[Tripps]

Harry/GPMAZ on other site said he loved his r1150r, he ran a forum for them years ago.

[1K9]

Guzzi Breva 750 66000 miles. Looks gud!

K1300s is my bucket list bike, but no cruise control, so it would never replace the k12 for traveling. We've discussed before, my Blackbird is my "almost k1300s" bike. V-rod is not in the same class, IMO.
