You might wonder why we have been
rattling on about Rizoma so much
recently. This is the third story about
the company and its products in a row.
This came about because of
arrangements that were made at quite
different times. The factory story was a
follow-up from the BikeBiz R nineT
project we looked at a while back; I
visited the factory in Milan in
November last year. I made
arrangements for the Ducati project at
the time, but it took a while to get it all
organised and get the parts and the
bike together. The opportunity to
prepare the R 1200 GS with BikeBiz,
meanwhile, came while we were still
sorting things out with the Ducati - so
ZHVOLSSHGLWLQÀUVW
At any rate, all three stories can
happily stand on their own, and the fact
that they came so close together
doesn’t change anything about the way
they were done. By the way, if you’re
the lucky bugger who buys that
R 1200 GS from BikeBiz, get in touch
and tell us what you think. The
Scrambler is not for sale.
