Is it possible to use the fuel dongle and still keep the o2 sensor? (for original look)

Try again with an MG Griso 1200 ;)

Have you sold the Svart & V7? It was the Svart that brought me to your channel as I owned one at the time then sold it and bought a V85TT

It's difficult to see what you did back there, brother. But liked and subscribed.

Do you still have the Moto Guzzi?

You would probably like the new Ducati Monster + ... It is easy as hell to ride once you get used to the hydraulic clutch and turn, stop, go slow with ease then the engine has power forever if you need it but you don't need to go fast to have fun but when you want to it can be a superbike or a cruiser. It is 6 bikes in one depending on the riding mode and settings you do for it. It can back the power down to 70hp or give you full 111.

Just came across your videos. I bought a 2023 a few weeks ago and love it. Reminds me of my old air/oil cooled BMW R1200GS motor. I have ask what state you’re in because it looks like KY, eastern OH or SE IN. I’m in Cincinnati.

I have had rocket ships in the past that could do blistering 0-60’s, I now have a V7 special 850 and it is a more sedate mode of transport, it will do 70mph on the motorway quite happily but don’t expect it to get there in a hurry, I will say for overtaking knock it down a cog and she’ll go if you ask nicely, but being in my 60’s now I wouldn’t have any other bike.

Looking to buy this bike. There is one close, but the sales guy was a giant douche, saying 'my daughter could ride this bike, youre a grown man, you need a bigger bike, what the f()* are you doing, youre wasting your time, i'm gonna rake you over the coals for for the trade in value' and the like. I'm convinced he just didnt wanna waste his time with a more budget bike. Maybe his commission was based on cost or size bike? I don't know. But I left and said I'm not giving you or your company a sale like that. So, on principle I'm looking a little farther away to see who can get this bike in for my first.

What is a diller?

Great stuff

Engine guards are your friend 😄

Even the dog likes that Moto Guzzi 😁

How often do you have to clean/lube the chain on a Vulcan S? Thanks in advance for your response. Also, I noticed you mentioned in one response that you had sold the Vulcan S. What did you replace it with?

Cali shop is selling a vitpilen for $5.5k i love the styling but i dont see much longterm reviews. It is a ktm 690 and i do plan on making it a track bike. Great advice pal

My Vulcan S is from 2019 and i have the Number from the Gears in my Display integrated, from wich year is yours ?

❤

Great video

I don’t understand riders who hate something about their bikes.. when I find something that I can upgrade I do it otherwise I focus on the good stuff.. riding would be so annoying If I had a feeling of hatred for my bikes 😅

1. Why dont you just put a thick clip-on enlagement pod on the sidestand? 2. ageed, the cheap dash comes directly from the 401. What can you expect? hope someone comes up with a better aftermarket piece. rev limit? just try, it has a rev limiter, you’ll see how far it goes. and if it does weird things, there has been a recall. 3. that’s a 2018? the clutch cylinder has been a recall as well! 4. allways keep the battery fully charged. these electronics are pissy with mediocre charging. heating grips and additional lights might be too much already.

Most bikes like a Kawasaki 650 are easier to ride at a steady speed on backroads in 5th rather than 6th. The 850 is different. At 50 mph on roads like that the V7 will be easier to ride in sixth. The bike will just roll along at a steady speed more effortlessly at a lower rpm. It is the ultimate cruiser.

At last, somebody who gets it. It's funny, I've watched alot of videos on this bike; mostly younger folk and they just don't have a clue. One guy was ranting about the terrible transmission and mushy shifting. Mushy shifting????? The only mush is between his ears. After 55 years of riding this is the most enjoyable bike I've ever owned: The comfort, the handling, the sheer mechanicalness of it. Effortless torque, great gas milage and fatigue free ease of riding over distance are just a bonus. And the shaft drive!!!!! What a bike! Also I'm six-four and I'm a happy camper. Normally I sit at the back in the rider section of the seat for comfort, but there is room to shift more toward the front of the seat for awesome handling in the twisties. Serious fun.

The bike has an engine. The words engine and motor are not interchangeable. Engines are completely different than motors. Please learn the difference.

She's a beauty ❤

Wow. Are you not aware that we have a federal government? The stupid turn signals are mandated by the DOT. Our outdated specs are based on square inches, not the light volume. Same with the taillight. Look at the European version of this bike and you’ll see how it was designed to be. As for the gear indicator, it is not a switch and contact affair like some bikes have. It CALCULATES the gear based on math. It uses rpm vs speed to figure it out. Of course it can’t calculate anything with the clutch pulled because you are not “in any gear” as far as the bike can tell. Dragging your foot is because you point your toes at the ground. Learn to ride like an Italian, or any racer. Put the ball of your foot on the peg, not the arch. The government also mandates the sound. So none of your complaints are caused by Moto Guzzi. I know this is an old video so I hope you have learned how to pronounce it.

Great looking bike but this motor is trash imo

Goot-zee not guz, cuz. You don’t call it piz-uh you say peet-sah. 🍕

49(almost) 50 here. I just got a 2019 Vulcan S used. When you mentioned the dent in your tank, I totally relate. I dumped my bike in the parking lot of the dealer when I picked it up. I was so embarrased. This video was very helpful! Thank you!

Hello really appreciate your effort for showing your v7, I just went to check it out yesterday and immediately fell in love with it. Just wondering if you have Any reliability issue with it.... thanks

I love those mirrors over the stock bricks, I don't see anything like those on Revzilla or Cycle Gear.. Where did you get them.

hey seem backwards to me. the reflectors should be towards the rear

At your video the black appears surprisingly beautiful. I got myself this year a Centenario unsold since 2021, so a new bike in 2024. I love it profoundly, did already 3000 kms plus since late February. If I'd buy the bike today, I'd go for Verde Camo, it's spectacularly beautiful in it's bareness and simplicity.

What’s your impression of the wind protection with that fairing?

What do you recommend for switching out to LED headlight?

I had my course on this bike which they provided, now i regret not buying it😢

The vulcan its not really faster you did only 1 and 2 gear later you slow down.......i garante 100% a soon you put 3 and 4 v 85tt pass in front of vulcan........i top out my v7 at 120mph 194km/h

Game changer moment was popping off that little triangle cover. I was looking at my bike today, followed the sensor wire into that corner and said to myself - no way. Going to be a much easier job after your video.

Don’t take it the wrong way, because it really isn’t a bad take: it’s quite funny to hear such a southern accent lad talk with such love of his cafe racer bike 😂. It’s as if a Québecer like me was making a whole video about his gun collection 😅. Great video. I love my Guzzi as well, same spec but a 2022. As for your slip-ons (we’re quite some time later and I didn’t watch your other videos), what did you end up doing? I went with Zard slip-ons. Absolutely no mods to do once they’re out of the box, no dB killers shenanigans.

GOOTZEE, not guzzy

Why destructed nice retro motorbike with terrible modern parts 😢 this is not racing tool. This is nice retro bike with only 65hp for nice trip to nature… anyway colour of mat black is not coresponding with new clutch and break. Result is realy said. 😮

Guuuuuuuuzzi

❣️🦅❣️

This is a video you didnt think you needed until you watched it. As an older guy ( 60 ) looking to get my first bike i would have thought all clutches were thw same.

Excellent review! Do you still have this bike? I happened to see this video because I am looking to see what people think of this bike now. I agree with you 100%! I have a 701 2020 with the spoke wheels and love it! One of the best bikes I have ever had. Oddly this single cylinder has a lot of power and this is not a beginners bike. Fast and it a bit wild. This bike is one of the best looking and most unique bikes on the market even in 2024. This bike stock is good to go. The only thing I changed was the mirrors, I put bar end mirrors on my bike. The stock exhausts sounds and looks good to me. Photos and videos do not do the looks and sound of the bike any justice. I like to know if you still have the bike and if not why and have you had any issues. Thanks

You’d have to abuse the clutch a lot more off the line to achieve published 0-60 of 5.5 seconds. That’s something you don’t want to do as burning up a MG clutch is a lot of work to replace.

Everybody talks about "character" when they ride a cruiser. What they really mean is the chug chug chug of a V-Twin. I've had my share of Japanese V-twins and four Harleys (never again). I think I would like the smoothest of the Vulcan S. If I ever buy one I might change the rear spocket to a smaller one which would lower the rpm at highway speeds, and help the throttle not feel "jerky". It would lose a little bit of the quick response, but I don't plan to go racing anyway.

That's nice

Does this bike not show the gear you’re in on the stock display? Looks like you added your own

whats the green spring on your bike

Is the clutch easy to adjust? I've heard they can be a pain.
