Details are beginning to emerge on Moto Guzzi's new 1200 Sport that we are expecting to be revealed at the Milan Motorcycle Show next month.

Using the new high torque 1200cc engine remapped for sports use in the Breva frame with some more sporty suspension and a more sporty riding position.

Dressed (well, naked with a bikini fairing actually) all in black with white racing number plates, flat bars and a sculptured seat, it looks the business in a Guzzi kind of way. Though it's also available in red.

The standard bike comes with Braking Wave wavy discs, and ABS is available as an option.

A further option is a racing kit that consists of high compression heads with polished ports and a beautifully sounding racing 2-1-2 exhaust system.

Accessories include:
- anti theft system,
- 29 litre panniers,
- 28 or 45 litre topbox,
- top box bag (doubles up as a shoulder bag),
- rear rack,
- tank bag,
- lowered (by 3cm) gel saddle,
- centre stand,
- bike cover (with 1200 Sport logo).

Availability is expected in mid November with a price of £7,599 OTR.

Further information will be available either here or through our newsletter as we get it.

Update 20/10/06: Motorcycle News were the first to publish a report from the launch and they really liked it, especially the character, giving it four stars out of five.

Update 02/11/06: We have had our first consignment of these lovely looking bikes, so come in and have a gander at the new goose.
