Despite being a dyed-in-the-wool Ducati owner, I'd happily have that Guzzi in my garage (alongside the Monster, not instead of!). Moto Guzzi seem to have really stepped up their game over the last few years. Nice to see Piaggio giving this 100 year-old brand a new lease of life.
Beautiful machine, even better review! Made me laugh but I actually agree on everything you said. I already have a V7 Racer but wouldn't mind the Corsa!
I put a deposit down on a '24 V7 Stone Corsa, already ordered the Ago reverse megaphone mufflers / airbox elimination kit / UPMAP programming gizmo. I currently have an '07 BMW K1200S and an '02 MV Agusta F4, along with a couple of other bikes. My plan is to have only the Corsa when I retire in a couple of years. I'm sure this bike will be plenty fast for me, and what a great looking bike as well. Not being water-cooled means not having to check the coolant level, and not having all the added weight and complexity (radiator, hoses, t-stat, water pump, etc). I upgraded the cooling system on the F4 (water pump, Engine Ice coolant, metal radiator fan blades, manual bypass switch) and that was something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I've owned numerous Guzzis over the years ('74 Eldo LAPD, '78 V50, '95 Sport 1100, V11, Jackal), so the Corsa is one worth getting back into the fold for.
I loved my V7 Carbon Dark. It just didn't have enough power. I always felt like they needed a bit more, but I'm surprised they're only getting 65 out of 850ccs. These would be perfect with about 70-75. They're fun cruisers, and don't need a lot of power to be enjoyable.
I would bet this could be tuned for a bit more power. There's a guy in California I bought a tuning kit from for the Carbon Dark. He used to make a big bore kit for the V7's. But now that they're higher displacement, hopefully he can squeeze more out of them without messing with the engine.
There are a few things i want to change on this bike. Mostly the headlamp and the instrument guage. Is there a way to switch them out for the v7 special? I rather have a 2 guage analog tachs and i want to put on a early to mid 70s half faring and i cant to that with the weird headlight.
Are you sure on the headlamp? I love the Moto Guzzi eagle on it. Yes you can replace it though. I was considering replacing my 2018 V7 Carbon Dark headlamp with one of those fancy aftermarket LED ones before. I believe there are also aftermarket gauges but what don't you like about the gauge?
@DucatiDiaries yeah I'm sure...I want to put together a 70s old school looking racer with a half faring. The headlamp is a wonky shape and would not fit a round slot. It's just something I have in my minds eye of look and shape for the bike. As for the guages, I want that analog feel. Again, it's the theme I have in mind. Not saying it ruins the bike, but it's something that would bug me during my ownership. But having official MG guages and headlamp would make it proper.
That's really nice I like it! Speaking of bikes and speed and performance this MotoGP season is getting very very intesting, will Marquez leave Honda ( I believe so ) Can Bagnaia hold off Martin?...IDK Might be a reapeat of when Bagnaia slowly chipped away at Quatararo's lead last season after the mid season break only to take the title at the end. But its not the same, Quatararo cracked and fell apart at the end of the season as Bagnaia is suffering from injury but seeing his point lead shrink and ability on track lessen is a lot of pressure. So much drama and very exciting!!
It’s got character. Not sure I’d buy one but like that it exists. But if you’re talking “cool” then I’ll mention my next purchase will be a Monkey. Waiting for a 24MY. Might even stretch to a Yoshi exhaust.
LMAO i was actuality looking at Monkeys the other day and thinking I could teach myself to wheelie better on one. I saw the exhausts too. 🤣 maybe I'll get one for the channel!
They're slow, with weak brakes and an agricultural gearbox. I love mine...
😂😂

Thanks brother and fully agree. Great looking bike for a great price!
It should have the twin analog gauges like the special has.
Thank you for the Isiah 41:10 scripture. I’m going to make it a memory verse. Just what I needed for this time in my life.
God bless you. Let me know if you have anything you want me to pray for.
This is going to be my next bike. Exhaust mod is all it really needs.
Beautiful bike! It’s on my list.
I NEED one! Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching.
The excitement in your voice tells it all for this outstanding V7 stone it's like cocaine bear fired up ready to go.
Great vid. I love my V85TT. Hi from Seattle.
Thanks brother. Stay tuned for more bike vids. We got some exotics coming up!
Looks very nice I like that colour scheme. Thanks for sharing it's a beauty 🏍🏁
Thanks brother. Hey remind me what state you're in when you get a chance.

I wish GUZZI would go back to the separate Tach and Speedo. The single gauge just doesn't cut it if you're trying for a retro look.
Or atleast have the option to add them along with the wonky headlamp are my 2 main reasons I'm hesitant in pulling the trigger.
Love my v7 special 850 beautiful bike 😊❤Pete
I actually wanted second hand v7 racer II or III for next year, but now I'm unsure...wondering if racer IV might still be coming!
Indeed! Same here! But there is a Owners Group Anni. design comming in April. Looks ok. It's basically a different paint scheme.

$10k for it ? That’s a bargain!!! Considering a small little Honda grom cost $3,400
Yeah I love Moto Guzzi for that. Unlike those greedy Mustang dealers with the markup! 😄

I don't follow moto GP but it sounds like I need to start!
@@DucatiDiaries best sport on the planet!
@@Lethal_Venom We need to you on two wheels!
@@DucatiDiaries I’ve thought about buying a bicycle 😂

Thanks for watching! :)
Whats up😀
I hope you had a great summer and got in a lot of rides. I didn't ride enough at all. :o/
Tail tidy?? 😂
I started to watch this for a review of the bike but all I got was a rehash of Moto Guzzi advertising. Why call it a review when it isn't ?
I reviewed the design because that's what's new. The V7 platform has been around for years.
@@DucatiDiaries Yes same sheep in different wolf's clothing 🙂
❤guzz😊
Best looking bikes on planet at moment. Classic is stunning.
I'll stick with four wheels thank you LOL.... "Climate change science is real" ... "no human being is illegal" ... 🥸
I hope that global warming hurries up so I can ride all year! 🤣
