Greetings,

Yesterday we purchased another machine for the Missus to ride.
Got the RF400 for a great price and the motor is absolutely sweet.

Needs a new choke cable and new chain & sprockets but that is no big deal.

Lovely bike to ride and she loves it which is all good.

Cheers,
NDMz

Own up, you only bought it for when the Guzzi seems slow. Nah good choice. The RFs probably didn't get as much good press as they should have.

You just had to get the Guzzi in the background eh? Seriously, though, great bike.

Yeah well can't resist my beautiful lady getting in on the shot !!
The Missus was inside at the time, hee hee....:dodge:

All told it'd probably give the Guzzi a good run around the 'takas !!

We're going to get the bits for it on Wednesday when the shops open again.

Amazed at how big and heavy it feels for a 400 but of course well know that it's really an RF600 with a slightly detuned Gixxer 400 engine in there.

Cheers for the responses, peoples :)

Good one, hope she enjoys the new toy.:rockon:
(now u won't have to race her to the V11 anymore)

Truth was, she was finding the V11 a little difficult to ride, namely it's weight, quirks and the gearbox. I guess coming straight from a VT250, it's not surprising.
She loves the RF though.

The Guzzi is not for everybody, not a just jump on and ride, as you well know ;)

Now, instead of just stretching just a little to get the Guzzi, we've stretched lots to include the RF also !!!! :gob:

Buying bikes (and cars) are like that.
You almost always spend more money than you plan on.
The bike looks like a good find and glad that she likes it and you get to ride your bike now.
