All proceeds will go towards a foundation he and his wife run to further research for sustainable agricultural and agroforestry systems worldwide.
Only offered in the US for one year, the 1200 Sport was based on their all-arounder model called the Breva – in fact, MG considered calling this bike the Breva S.
While it shared the chassis with the Breva, the Sport model got new styling thanks to different fenders, a reshaped seat, an oil cooler cover that also functions as a small chin spoiler, and a headlight-mounted fairing.
The Sport was gifted a new exhaust and revised fuel-injection mapping which bumped engine output to 95 horsepower at 7,800 rpm and 74 foot-pounds of torque at 6,000 rpm.
Manufactured in April 2008, this example is VIN: ZGULPUS018M112580, Engine #: 016303. The seller acquired it 2015 from a private party in Wisconsin.
The odometer shows 8,964 miles.
