New to me 2012 Norge

[Guzzidad]

   I recently bought a 2012 Norge with the factory roller tappets. 27K miles. I recently rode it from Tampa to the campout in Suches GA. What an awesome bike. It didn't take long to gain confidence in it's cornering capabilities. Original owner installed Matris suspension. I never pushed it hard but I frequently had to slow down to wait for my friend on his FJR.
   Today I had a chance to take my 01 EV out for a ride. 107K miles. I had thoughts of selling it since the EV and the Norge both fill the touring/sport touring category. But it didn't take long to change my mind. I'm keeping both of them. They are so different but also very much alike. The EV is 20th century and the Norge is 21st century. They both feel great.

 Some rational thinking there Dad

Now you need one from the 19th mark -- analog----- points & carb and still no teets on the side of the tires.
Roll them over and give em the gas.

If a bike makes you grin, keep it!

      Steve, exactly why I've kept my 1100 Sport. Carb model and there ain't no chicken strips on those tires. When I re-retire I need to get that bike back on the road.

Steve,
Nice jab at me on the FJR, but true. LOL!
 Me on the FJR can't stay with a good rider on a Guzzi in the twisties. I do much better on my 98 EV. Your white Norge is a thing of beauty and I think the best touring bike Guzzi has ever produced. EV comes in not too far behind.

Now that you are a Norge owner, you KNOW...enjoy one of Guzzi's best!

  I am glad you are enjoying it, good to know it went to someone who rides.
Be safe.
