Remind us, what are the criteria?

What seat height is she limited to?

800mm or less I think.

Does she like the look of any of the Cb1000 models?

Guzzi Grizo, - 800 seat height, Nice machine. or the V7 racer, I love the look of that one.

1000R?

Guzzi V7 is favourite ATM.

Does a Ducati Scrambler not appeal?

Or the cb1100rs or ex

Get a guzzi lovely bikes

No. Bars too high and she does like the look of it as that might have worked

Bars too high?

I have a massive soft spot for the Scrambler. I like the Dirt Sled and the Flat Track one a LOT

Bars on the Full Throttle version are much lower but i think a number of owners have put the FT bars on the Icon Scramblers, its a simple swap.




Icon bars




I think Renthal and Rizoma make similar flatter bars too.

This will be discussed at lunchtime

This is worth a read. I do agree with Jane that the standard bars are a bit too high and crap.If i bought one they would be changed also.

There is also an aftermarket kit that can move the speedo etc to the centre of the bars, rather than being offset.

Don't know if you read in the other thread my suggestion on seat width having a big effect.

My Panigale is 830mm seat height as standard but the race seat lifts it another 25mm so 855mm in total.

The SP2 is 825mm seat height so 30mm lower.

The Pani is easy to sit on as the seat is almost half the width of the SP2.
