New to me bike day

[ThreadKiller]

Sold my Tuono 660 as was wasted on me.
Always fancied a Guzzi, so now scratching that itch.

Wasted why?
Still getting to know mine

Tuono was a fab bike. But I just plodded around and it didn’t really suit how I ride now.

Lovely. Always fancied a MG (specifically the V85 TT) and if I could have a 2nd bike to go alongside the KTM SAS (or rather SWMBO permitted it) I'd get a one of these.

Very nice. Life’s too short not to scratch that itch! Enjoy.

Lovely! I've been half-thinking of getting back into biking, and the Guzzi V7 Special really appeals to me.

How you getting on with it? Seen a few of them about and they always look great

I love the Guzzi engine - huge character, just makes me smile when it rocks at idle

[black-k1]

Nice bike! I hope you have many happy miles together.

Not managed to have a ride yet! Hopefully will get out this weekend and provide an update.

Had first ride out today. Ended up at Monyash in Derbyshire and had a very nice stilton salad with cup of tea.
Met a nice gentleman called Clifford (V85TT) who told me about the local Guzzi owners meet at a nice pub on the A6.
And was pleased with the V7. Quite a visceral experience. Handled nicely. Nice torque. And comfy. Rev limit is quite a lot lower than I’m used to so bounced off the rev limiter more than once and brakes not as sharp as by ex-Tuono.
Overall very pleased with it. Looks great and suits my current riding style very well.
