There is such a thing as a precise Italian style, a way of designing motorcycles, a series of factors that, while maybe not all discovered individually, when put together form an unique entity that can truly express emotion.
This is the style of the 1200 Sport where form and function work in complete harmony to produce a spirited, fascinating piece of machinery. The graphics on the screen resemble the plate for a rider’s number on a race machine. The same types of adornments are to be found on the "pod" at the back of the saddle that transforms the machine into an aggressive single-seater.
The stylish shape of the front disc brakes suggests and allows magnificent stopping power. Still at the front, the advanced position of the handlebars tends to mould the rider’s arms and chest into the perfect riding position and offers excellent support. The inverted titanium-treated forks add a further touch of class.
The central section of the 1200 Sport features the 90° V cylinder heads with newly designed rocker covers. The Racing exhaust on the right hand side sets exactly the right tone for a motorcycle of this type.
Even the slightly rear-set position of the rider’s footrests brings the race version immediately to mind. If just seeing it standing there takes your breath away, just imagine what a ride will do.
