Moto Guzzi V7 vs Ducati Scrambler 800
I can't deny I miss my V7 and every time I take my Scrambler out there's something missing from the experience. I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something about the Guzzi I prefer and now that it's received a decent bump in power there's very little missing from the over all package. Given the opportunity I'd absolutely have one of these sat in my garage for those carefree Sunday blasts.

I just got a 2023 V7 Stone a month or so ago. It's really perfect for long distance rides. I was coming from the world of sport bikes, so I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I do. I love it. The Guzzi has plenty of power for what it is and doesn't encourage you to be a maniac.

As the previous owner of many motorcycles and the current owner of a v7 III, I can attest that the v7 is probably the best all around motorcycle out there.

This channel somehow manages to cut out all of the unnecessary stuff, and just give a clear review of what you need to know. Definitely a dying breed on youtube.....

I have been riding motorcycles for 55 years--BMW, Ducati, Moto Morini, Laverda, Kawasaki, Indian, Suzuki, BSA, Triumph, Zundapp. Currently own a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 that I have owned for over 20 years as well as a 2013 MG V7 Stone that I have owned for over 2 years. Love both of them and will stay with Moto Guzzi to the end. --Mike B.

Solid review. In my opinion, the look of the V7 is more mature and will never go out of style.

I have a 2020 V7III S and love it- the visceral feel of the engine mechanics. I thought about the Scrambler, and test rode it. Your evaluation is spot on. I have to say, in the end, I went for the MG not a little because it is made in Italy in the same shop as all its predecessors. Although I have nothing against the Thai factory skills that produce the Scrambler to Ducati specs and oversight, it is a lovely footnote to the MG that it has the full Italian birthplace and continuous lineage. I have a Colnago C64 bicycle for the same reason. It is not the fastest or highest tech of the Colnagos, but is handmade in a shop across the street from Ernesto Colnago's home in Italy. You have to love that dimension of both Moto Guzzi and Colnago as Italian works of art.

As the owner of a Bonneville T120 I get completely what you mean, a comfortable relaxed ride and who cares about 0 to 60 times!

The Scrambler is a hipster bike, that can go places off-road that the Guzzi is not designed to do. The Guzzi is the ultimate gentleman’s street bike - comfortable, mature and masculine, not interested to go to wild places but it exudes class everywhere it goes.

Nice comparison 👍 I’ve been missing your contents. Thank you 🙏✌️

I had a V7 Stone and enjoyed many many miles on it. I sold it for a Ducati Scrambler 800 and would never go back. The Guzzi carries you along in comfort, the Ducati wants to be ridden. I'm an old guy with many bikes in my past. I want to know I'm alive and riding, not just be carried along on an armchair. Plenty of time for that when I'm really old.

Thanks Tim, you’re in the perfect position to make this comparison. I love my Honda Hornet 900 but I’d love a classic cruiser to slow down sometimes by the beach roads or out in the country. The V7 would be perfect for that.

Great review Tim. You and Mark Pulling are my two favourites. Really get a feel for what the bike is like. I had a V7iii so the direct comparisons are very useful. I am very tempted to get a new V7.

The V7 is definitely on my list of bikes to test ride. Great review as always bud.🤙

Great video. I just bought a V7 iii and it’s stabled with my KTM 690. Hate to say it, but the KTM has been gathering a bit of dust (and not the good kind) lately. If I compare the two bikes, I’d describe the differences very much the same way you describe the differences between the Guzzi and the Ducati. I love them both, but the Guzzi is chill and puts a smile on my face.

In just over a month I've put 500 miles on my 850 V7 and am very much enjoying it. Mellow is a good word for it - a female cyclist said 'wow, that's looks mellow!' as she cycled past while I was sat on a bench eating an apple while stopped for a break in a village in the Yorkshire Wolds, and she was right. If 65 bhp claimed is enough for you (as it is for me) it's well worth a look.

I've had a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled but sold it and went back to Harley. I do now want a modern classic and been eyeing up the Guzzi V7. I'm not after speed but more the feel and look of the machine. The Guzzi v7 looks absolutely beautiful and I'm about to order one at the dealer for the new season. Hopefully it's my go to bike for years to come.

Great, straight to it review. Tried all the bikes you mentioned, and the V7 850 tomorrow. Buying second hand,would you recommend only looking for an 850 or are there any advantages to a V7 III ?

Good review very well done you don’t waffle on like some of these reviews simple and to the point that’s all you need. I like the comparison between the Gusi and the Ducati just right thanks 👍
