Having ridden Guzzi's for over 40 years, they are reliable, long lasting, and the electrics are crazy ! All of mine ( 6 different models) have exceeded 300,000 miles - one well over 500,000. And they were all still running fine when I sold them.Just keep up the oil and filter changes, and grease the electrical terminals.

Great input. Would the V7 be a good beginner bike? I'm not the tallest at 5' 6" or so and 29.5" inseam. This is why the HD 883 intrigues me with the lower height. I'm really starting to like this V7 however.

V7 is great, with the normal caveats. The electrics are just nuts, but seem to work as long as you keep an eye on everything. Chrome is not the best, they need regular good quality oil, vibrate like nothing else on earth, BUT..... 45-60 miles per gallon from a 1000cc, will get you home even if one cylinder packs up, will easily carry 2 plus ALL camping gear you need for 2 weeks or more,can pull a house down and will leave you with a longing in your soul that will never ,ever leave you. Just don't try to race 4 cylinder guys - you will lose. OH, and the ladies LOVE the comfort factor. Even at my age.

Bought the V7iii not long ago. Can confirm 52hp can be fast. They are HILARIOUSLY fun to ride and coupled with the huge gas tank and shaft drive, is an amazing light touring and ADV bike. It leans pretty low, even for a standard, and does everything you want it to. Low maintenance, reliable, and cheap. It is the best beginner bike you can get.

"Havent seen a Guzzi in a while, its beautiful" And the whole power thing is true too, I owned a Duc 998 before and after riding the Guzzi i was like, i dont need the power, this is enough to have fun.

I have a 1000 SP II that I bought new in '85. She never let me down. I rode several times from Italy to Holland (1100 km) in one shot - 13 hrs straight. Once I had rain for 10 hrs. It was me who needed a break, not the bike. Mechanical contact breaker is a bit of a pain, but cheap and easy to replace and adjust. It will never fail, contrary to some electronics that equip today's bikes (including BMW - which I also have....). Finally, my wife prefers riding the MG over the BMW, and hates my Ducati 996. Enough said.

My mate rides an 1800cc Goldwing. He sat on my V7ii and went like, "OMG it's light". That 0-60mph was in the fives, which is what the big Goldwing does. Lack of horses? There are a lot of bikes that are quicker but not many as comfortable and as well mannered to ride. What is not obvious from the video is just how well a Moto Guzzi takes bends, because America doesn't have bends, whereas Britain and Europe don't have straight roads. The other thing missed out on is those brakes are Brembo and the front is a top of the range asymmetric 4-pot on a big platter, and yes it works rather well.

Jeff Slade I don’t understand why people think America doesn’t have “curves”. Hilarious. There’s more to us that than the flat plains of the Midwest. The reason why we like big engines is because American cities have long stretches of congested freeway with cars “cruising” at 85 mph along with semi trucks all around you. The big engines and weight help a lot for city riders.

@paintup46 4 жыл бұрын

Also, places like here in Arizona, I can jumó on the highway, spend two full hours straight climbing hills and be in high elevation with pine trees and ski resorts. It helps to have big engines that won’t overheat from working so much in this heat or get blown off the road by other drivers and trucks.

Currently own a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 cc that I have had for 20 years. Once took me 120 miles on one cylinder at highway speed when one spark plug wire crapped out on a Sunday morning with no shops open. At almost 70 years old it has gotten too heavy to maneuver in and out of situations. Purchased a 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone at more than 100 pounds less wet weight. Absolutely love it. Will stay with Moto Guzzi for the rest of my riding life. I have owned BMW, Laverda, Ducati, Moto Morini, Triumph, BSA, Zundapp, Indian, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Cagiva and loved them all for different reasons, but the fact that I can physically handle the weight of a bike that will cruise (illegally) at 85-90 mph for as long as I need, looks good, is reliable and affordable and unique, why shop anywhere else?- -Mike Battle

I would have kept it longer, it was a blast to ride, but the nearest dealership is five hours away. They might be easy to work on but I'm not particularly mechanical; so I sold it to an eager buyer who has owned several Guzzis and does his own wrenching. Maybe a dealership will open up a little (or a lot) closer. Meanwhile, I'm loving my Triumph Bonnevillle T120.

@@gordtowsley20 The suspension is very harsh. I even changed the rear shocks, maybe I haven't adjusted them properly but no matter what, i is harsh. I haven't done anything to the front forks. Changing over to the Dunlop tires, I noticed the bike catches the groves on the road unlike the Continentals. The Kineo wheels are about the same weight as the stock therefore, no changes regarding the suspension behavior. There's an Ohlins option in the aftermarket for the front forks but it costs over $3k. They also have the rear Ohlins shocks but I haven't heard from anybody comparing that to the regular shocks. I think trying to make the ride plush is an endless battle, the driveshaft design and dual shocks in the back is a limiting factor.

Why would some one buy a moto guzzi? Cause us guzzi riders are just a little bit different! In the 1950s guzzi riders were tagged as being on the " ragged fringe of decent socioety", by an Australian journalists, and this was taken up as the motto. “Societas honestae, limbus pannuceus” I've had several guzzi's, all unique but with the same soul. Where most bikes are the faithful wife, the teen crush or long time love or one night stand, guzzi's are the definitely the temptress, an exotic seductive mistresss.

My dad had one before he bought his Harley. I took it for a drive once, I was 15, I dumped the clutch and almost wrecked it into my moms flower garden. Once I got it out on the road it was a blast. When my dad was at work I use to sit on it and dream of getting it out on the road again. I dreamt to hard once when I was sitting in it , it fell over and I broke the mirror.

Looks like it’s from the 30s or 40s? I’d say 60s or 70s. : ) Just bought a 2017 Guzzi V7iii. Cool bike. Has a rumble to it that my old Honda CB750 doesn’t have. I guess that’s the v twin doing its thing. It’s gonna take me a few rides to get used to it. I love the looks and the sound.

The only thing that tou have to do often with this bike is the classic valve ser with the 2 connectors. It's a 20 min job on each side and pretty easy but you just need to learn to do it.

There was one in Baton Rouge but the BMW dealer bought it and combined them with MG, Piaggio and Vespa. After a time they dropped the latter and just kept the Beemers. Now Louisiana has no Guzzi dealer at all.

I'm all about guzzi, harley, and yamaha. They're the corn in the Dookie. Own atleast one of all 3. V9 bobber is a cool ride. You should check it out if u find one. If not I'll let u borrow mine. I want to see your opinion on it. Unique af and definitely shows the "Italian Harley" thing.

Great for around town and short 2 lane blacktops and gravel roads trips. Wish that they made one like this in a 1500cc version with 18" fat tall rubber front and rear. That would be perfect for what I need. Closest Guzzi dealer to me is 130 miles away. The other is 183 miles away. I can find a H.D. dealership in any direction @50 mules tops.

Yeah, MOTO GUZZI ! I have a CALIFORNIA III and i drive every year from Cologne Germany to Mandello del Lario at the lake Como in northern Italy, to celebrate the Anniversary of Carlo Guzzis Motocycle factory. Thousends of Moto Guzzi every year in this little town come together to have fun, and in every shop or Restaurant you see old MOTO GUZZIs or other Items or parts of it. And there are so many Enthusiast and Owner of Moto Guzzi that they even allowed to make camping in the Parcs, near the Lake Como. But next Year on the 100. Year Birthday unfortently not, because of fu... Covid 19. What a shame...😡 Greetings from Germany from DANIEL.

@donmurphy9497 4 жыл бұрын

I had one of these, traded it for a faster bike and are now looking to buy a new V7 as a second bike because they are the perfect bike for when you don't want to go fast but you still want fun handling rather than a cruiser. And when there is a threat of a little rain shower, they are the perfect bike, with shaft drive no need to worry about cleaning and lubing a chain. Just a comment / question - why are you riding in the moped lane? Get on the center line and ride like a boss :)

Just an update I’ve had the bike for about 8 months and I’ve put about 8,000 miles on it, absolutely love it, my wife loves it so much she wants me to get a new one so that she can have my current Guzzi, was initially disappointed about the lack of aftermarket parts (cough cough Harley) but no matter where I go with it it turns heads.

Jibreel Salaam it’s all about how much self control you have. You can get something like this that is docile and not ‘violent’ in how it rides. Any bike can and will hurt you if you don’t respect it but if you take it easy and grow into it, should be okay!

Every parts are durable as you expected from good Japanese automaker. I'm considering to buy another V85TT or Audace.
