RIDE ★ VERDICT

Cruelly overlooked and short-lived, the Caponord 1200 is a potential adventure bike used bargain. Being advanced in its day means five years on, the Capo’ is still relevant.

WHAT’S GOOD?

Fabulous semi-active ride and handling, decent all-round performance, individuality, value.

NOT SO GOOD...

Slightly underwhelming performance, some niggles, potentially limited dealer/spares back-up.
