+The Sideout RockerNice - nice one, yeah, I never pay any attention to the gear indicator, I infrequently use it but I do love the clunk in selecting the gears, maybe it’s me being old school. I still stand by my words it’s a great bike, so enjoy your new purchase. Send us some picture of any mods in the future, keeping my option open here.

Love my V7 stone! great city bike! Love your videos.

Thanks mate,

Not me. I love mine. I'm coming up on its first service in another 100 miles. The dark rider set up is pretty cool. My first mods will be adding engine guards and swapping the stock mirrors for rizoma bar-end ones.

There's a vibration to the MG's that gives it its "character". However, the vibration is not as rough as say a Harley Davidson (with exception to their Street 500 and 750's). To me, its not a big deal. The bike definitely feels alive, which I really like. Triumph's are a little more refined. You're getting more CC's and more HP's along with the higher price tag. I have checked the V7 forums for potential issues but have not come across any major ones. I think if you take care of any bike, your issues will be minimal.

Do they still have tubeless tyres or inner tubes please?

On the V7 the wire wheels have tubes, cast wheels are tubeless.

Thank you for sharing Robert

Robert Parisi back on a guzzi from a year ago, bandit way to fast and immature for my age 61

Yeah, the Guzzi V7 will get you to illegal speeds very rapidly. That Bandit has 97bhp but is 50kg heavier, around 560-lb

Thanks luigi I did,

@Fusspot A phew I'm glad it wasn't just me, thanks for watching.

If you learn to blip the throttle when you go down the box to rev match then you get a nice smooth transition. I think engine braking is a good thing as it assists the brakes, I have a V7lll special and love every minute that I am riding they are a great bike. Happy riding and keep it shiny side up.

Thanks James, you will definitely enjoy her.

Cool, I probably had a silly grin on my face showing how much I enjoyed riding her, yes, it’s excellent point and turn filtering through traffic.

Sorry about that

Thanks sportsmusiclover, I'm currently using GoPro Hero4 Black,

No issues, even in west Texas heat. Just a little bit warmer on the shins on traffic.

Highest temperatures in Texas are typically lower than the highest in Italy. An operating cylinder block is nominal 98°C but air-cooled may run to 115°C, however they are dissipating heat from the combustion chamber at 1250°C, so ambient temperature variation is of little consequence whether freezing or sweltering so long as there is airflow.

lol

@Andre Santiago - not at all, I don't think you would be disappointed for the price.

Very good for the price,

Thanks buddy :-)

cheers song from Ennio Morricone - L'estasi dell'Oro

@@TheEarlster Thank you. 🙂

Yep there are OEM mirrors and the visibility is reasonable but I think a good pair of bar end mirrors would benefit better imho,

Not had the pleasure of riding the Honda rebel 500, but first glance it looks bigger then the usual 500cc, personally it's a nice cruiser starter bike but Moto Guzzi V7 has the edge in the sound and intimidation department.

love the wobble when you rev the throttle, it remind me of a powerful muscle bike, which is definitely a good thing imo :-)

not notice this at high speed seem quite stable

watch it again and again hoping that he would close it

The one I rode was ok, but is wasn't a long test ride

Brian Hamill - he wants a lock chain I belive. Not a drivetrain one

There is just enough room to get a disc lock under the seat. The air intake is also there so do not block it. A disc lock usually comes with a hanger you can bolt to some part of the bike.

Wirklich

He means the chain you use to secure your bike.
