Thanks for all the comments folks. I am still alive and the motorcycle is now in NZ. I got a bit put off doing more videos when someone commented how monotone I sounded, I guess we can't all have a voice like Don LaFontaine, but will do a video on exporting a bike for anyone's interest and another video on breakages/fixes/issues which I thankfully have had very few.

I don’t blame you for not making more videos. You do this in a gratuitous manner so if anyone wants to complain that is their problem. I am curious, did you have any issues adapting to the US road system and riding on the opposite of where you ride in New Zealand? HOpefully our yellow paint stripe between oncoming traffic helped a little. I’d love to visit New Zealand and Australia but worry about adapting to riding on the opposite side of the roadway, especially with the lack of a the yellow paint stripe which is painted white in NZ and Oz (I get that most countries in the world use white but I am accustomed to seeing yellow).

@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff5 жыл бұрын
The rear shock preload adjustment is not to stiffen or make soft the rear suspension, it is to adjust ride height for load. The more luggage and gear you take the more rear preload you add. It is to bring the attitude of your bike back to a regular stance for reasonable handling. If you leave your rear preload on your "soft" setting and load the bike up it will increase the front trail and slow the steering down on your bike (which you may find quite annoying over time). Fantastic bike though and I like that colour choice.

The "time" in the dashboard you mentioned is the time the bike spent on during that trip once you reset it. So if you reset the trip A, the time will be reset to 0:00. It is not the actual time as in time zone etc.. You need to install the fog lights for the switch to work. It only activates the front fog lights, nothing on the rear.

I'm not sure if anyone pointed out that what you pointed to as wear indicators are acxby design and called lug locks. The wear indicators are much lower in the tread. They're there to help them corner on the street so under stress instead of a line of lugs rolling out from under the tire it's connected to to the next line of lugs to help prevent this. They're raised so the lug locks aren't really necessary after the knobby is worn down to locks. Doesn't mean that tire is done just means that it's going to be less effective in the off road capability than when new. Since it's a 80/20 tire I believe shouldn't matter for much other than mud since anyone that is riding hard core off road would have changed them straight away and sold them on Ebay. None the less, cheers and ignore the haters.

I like the classic low-slung Guzzi fuel tank and the vents in the battery cover. The Red/white color scheme is the best. I rode an 07 Breva for about 6 years and just recently sold it. Prior to that it was a BMW R1100S. I have to say that MG captured my heart and I would buy another if I ever get another bike. They have great character and built like a tank. Never really had to work on my Breva, but was looking forward to it because they are just build so rugged and simple.

As far as when the empty (low fuel) signal comes up at the second bar from the bottom on the fuel indicator and the corresponding mileage says 81 miles, is because this motorbike runs between 40 - 48 miles per gallon and gives you about 2 gallons or 81 miles before it's too late to find a petrol station lol!

Great review. I have the Atacama grey one which was a bit of a second choice since the other colour schemes were sold out but happy now with my choice since certainly the tricolour orange already looks dated. Good to hear tall OEM screen works since I am 6'2 and have seen mixed reviews. Am still breaking in with only 150 miles to go, but my rev warning lights were factory set at 4200 so have kept to that... annoying when they come on at just over 70 in 6th! Can't wait to get past that first service. Have added the additional low level front mud guard which is interchangeable with the Caponord. Keeps the front of engine clean but probs not so good if off roading.

Good review sir. May I opine that you may be premature in replacing the tires. The tread depth shows a goodly amount of tire left. If you are averaging 70 - 80 mph. I'd say go ahead. At less speed then wait. The wear bars are read from the top. Not the side. Look for wear in the middle 3 inches of the tire. 3/32 in. depth is the limit generally. Cheers

Nice post ! I just test drive one yesterday and while very comfortable the stock seat is a bit hard - yours looks a bit different- was that a gel seat upgrade ? I’’a 6’4” and I fit on this MGuzzi - All the other V7 models I test drove today felt on the small

Nice review. What are the rpm at highway speed ? 75-80 mph
@mardizano5 жыл бұрын
If I'm boosting at 80mph its only revving about 5500

Hi my name is Thomas I just purchased a new V 85TT 2021 and I took it out for a good spirited ride did a little bit of loose dirt little bit of loose sanded areas on pavement and stripped pavement I’m impressed but when I cracked the throttle in sport or any other mode it seems to gag and help hold back the bike when I put it in Offroad I think I’m not positive but I think you can crack the throttle and expect a bike to really light up is this the experience you’re having it seems as if the old Termanology we used to say crapping out you hit the throttle and it would crap out fire misfire slow down scape whatever you wanna say please let me know what your thoughts are since you’veGot some miles on yours thank you very much appreciate your video

No sport mode on mine, just road, rain and off-road. Mostly it's been on road mode as I don't enjoy riding in shitty weather unless I have to get somewhere and even then I'm pretty much upright and limit cornering.

I don't know what the steel tubing around the headlight is for when it's not connected to the frame anywhere.

It's the mounting point for the console and indicators but probably also cosmetic to balance the design look with the rear trellis.

Does the bike run hot? That is, do you feel the cylinder heads putting off too much heat? (especially in traffic)
