It doesnt have an actual fuel gauge level, but it does have miles to empty indicator. which is essentially a fuel gauge.

The Agostini pipes on my stone S are amazing. Highly recommend. They're pricy but well worth it and all made in Italy where the bikes are made which is cool.

I absolutely agree with you in most points. I fitted Bitubo rear shocks with adjustable preload and rebound to tune them to my taste and black adjustable levers. And bar-end mirrors, are just a bit more beautiful.
Get the bike, spend some cash on upgrades and it’s the best it can be.

I actually think the bike being quiet is an asset!

[aridragonbeard]

If those rough roads are making you feel like you're gonna get launched off the seat, add some preload to the rear shocks. I was having the same problem with my V7 III and adding some preload made a HUGE difference for me. I weigh about 250 lbs and gave it about 8 turns. Also, those rough roads, at least from what can be seen in the video, look pretty typical of New England back roads.

Planning to get this as my first bike. Really like how quiet the exhaust is because I absolutely hate my dumbass neighbors with their stupid ass loud pipes all the time.

I don't like that it doesn't have a gas gauge. Not a deal breaker, but I can never remember to reset a tripmeter at the gas station.
The Guzzis seem to be selling pretty well in my area. They deserve to. Piaggio has done a great job with them.

[billycaspersghost]

I ride a V7 III and one of the reasons is it is just an old time type roadster bike. Not a cruiser, ADV, dirt bike or sports bike that dominate the market now.

Once nearly all bikes were like this before the split into different styles.

This thing is fast enough for me, is lighter than a Harley and it has a huge tank.
I put a screen on mine and it makes a great all round little tourer.
Not great for the desert or high speed freeway. But 95% of everything else it does very well and very, very enjoyably.

This is really the bottom line, I can`t explain scientifically or technically why, but I ride this thing more than any bike I have had in years.

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 😅

My Kawasaki W800 has a positive neutral. When you come to a stop it can't go from first to second. It goes only into neutral with no drama and it comes standard with a center stand. I do, however, have an interest in the V7 and really need to find one I can take for a ride. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Cheers: BJ

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

[Daccio]

I got the V9 MY2021, so in fact same engine of the V7 2021, and even if I'm happy AF about my choice and I couldn't have take a better moto for my tastes, I've to say the sound is really shit on mine as well.
Unfortunately is not all Moto Guzzi's fault, with the new EURO 5 laws we've got in Europe, every new bike that is E5, has a terrible sound. So I'm considering the extra expense for the Agostini, Mistral or Zard pipes.
It's a shame because they're not cheap bikes, and bying new exhausts wasn't on program. Beside that, they're amazing bikes.

[markmcintosh]

I love mine and have the v85tt also. I've had just about every bike made and the Guzzis is my favorite.

[cubbysue]

New pipes, fixes #2 and #4. Sounds like a win, win.

[randallsguaranteedsold]

Good review, or update…. Thinking this might be my next bike (when they are available)

[genegoodwin]

I own a $37, 000 Harley and the gear indicator acts the same. A lot of it is in the operator, it will not show which gear you just shifted to unto the clutch is fully engaged.
As far as the exhaust, all manufactures had to quiet their exhaust in order to sell in certain market areas.
You Kawasaki has forward controls so that's an unfair comparison.
It's a GUZZI be glad and enjoy it.

[FacesofEvil]

The fact that this is a niche bike makes it all the more appealing to me. I wouldn't want to see them everywhere like Japanese bikes. Think Apple products in the 80s and 90s. Now every man and his dog has an iPhone.

[Theophilus]

Is it jarring your back on the bad bumps? Thanks for the vid.

[dustytriumph]

Looks great in that black you have. Been thinking about this as my second bike. Surprising that this bike has a when to shift indicator but no fuel gauge or LED turn signals. ATM I'm thinking this or the Indian Scout Sixty. Beautiful country where you ride. Curious where?

[lalbertogm]

About the indicators, in Europe it has much nicer LED ones. Tail light and indicators in the US are hideous. Probably to do with regulations
