I just sat on one of these at the dealer, and something snapped in my brain. The thought of this bike is consuming me. A gorgeous, light 750 V that doesn't give you backaches and carpal tunnel. Not to mention hardly anyone has one. The dealer still hasn't sold a single one. Are people crazy, or am I for thinking this is a deal for $9.5K CDN?

I feel your guzzi luv. I'm torn between the Griso and the California. I've seen great reviews on the new 8V Griso.

The MSRP for the V7 is $8,490.00 American. Converts to $10,314 Canadian.

I don't know if that's a great deal or not, all depends on your threshold.

Of course, I'm sticking to the SV for a while. Perhaps in a couple of years....

A friend of mine owned a Moto Guzzi Breva 750 for about 6 months then he got rid of it and bought a BMW R1150R used. He liked the Guzzi but just felt that it was underpowered.

I spent several hours of my life going through the two-stroke/cool bike/single thread. Noticed quite a few Guzzi in there. I will be noticing them more often now, I think...

One recurring but not consistent odd criticism about Guzzis: some riders' knees whack into the cylinder heads. That can't be fun.
But generally, yeah. I think the Guzzis are SWEET

Totally with you. Sometimes I really wish I had the V7 instead of the SV. It's such a clean, cool looking bike, even if it isn't as powerful as the SV. It would be a lot more comfortable for riding around town with my GF.

Mmmmm. Makes me wanna change spark plugs

The V7 Classic is definitely one of those "you either get it....or you don't" products. I was down in AZ visiting my brother back in January, and we spent a day drooling over motorcycles at a variety of shops.

The Guzzi dealer we stopped at also sold Ducatis and Triumphs, and it was very telling to watch folks stroll in and look around. A clean white V7 Classic was right in the middle of the floor, and I thought it was drop-dead gorgeous. But unlike seemingly everyone else that visited the dealer that day, I tend to gravitate towards the understated.

"I want people to look at me...." doesn't enter into my vehicular purchasing decisions at all.



I dig it.

My legs are too long for a Guzzi, those heads hurt.

Not to mention, they are slugs compared to an SV. You really have to like to ride a slow bike fast.

They look very cool, though!

i loves guzzi's and think they look amazing. but ride it first.

I love the V7 Classic. But I'm holding out for a new Daytona.

That new V7 Classic is the perfect platform for a modern, retro style cafe project.

I look forward to seeing what enthusiasts do with these handsome machines!

Something like this perhaps?
