I fell in lust with Moto Guzzi while in college, sometime in 1968 or '69. It was a jet black Eldorado with just enough chrome to set the 'hook'. Love, marriage, children, life and numerous other bikes interrupted ownership until March 2023, when at 74 years old, I once again fell in love(lust?) with MotoGuzzi. I purchased a brand new 2022 V85TT. What an amazing brand and motorcycle. The dealer, Erico Motorsports in Denver, Colorado, had a number of V7's in stock, but the V85 spoke to my soul. The 850 motor is magical!! Ride one and you'll buy one!!
Great video presenting comparisons between all the Guzzi models. Very helpful. Personally I love the classic dual dials...the classic model but I would want tubeless tires with the touring package and bar risers with removable windshield
Love it! Down in Melbourne, Australia and we are beholden to one dealer for Moto Guzzi. Lucky to see more than one V7 on the floor at any time. I managed to pick up a low km V7 Special in the colour I wanted but would have been great to see all these models in person. Cheers for all your great Moto Guzzi content.
I have an '81 GL500 Silverwing that I've been riding for my first bike. 500cc transverse mounted V twin shaft drive....this seems like a natural progression from that. Cool bike! I like the looks of the Corza
I tested the v7 stone last month & loved it,I will be placing an order for the black,special edition next month,it will mark my return to motorcycling ,I last owned a bike in ,1996,I can't wait,I just hope we finally get a decent summer in the UK.
Guzzis are unique. I have had 3 of them and the current is a 2018 V7III limited edition Carbon Dark with Agostini exhausts. They are really reliable and fun.
Absolutely beautiful bikes. I'm taken by the classic Special, but then think the matte finish of the Stone is cool and then the Stone Special kinda grabs me with that beautiful paint job.. ahhhh decisions....Yeh... the Special.. ✌
My son has the matte black V7. It is a really fun bike to ride. I like the shiny black special edition version myself. Just needs a backrest for a passenger, some side bags, and maybe engine guards. Can these bikes be fitted with a center stand? comes in handy for maintenance or storage.
Great overview thanks. I wish you were my local Guzzi dealership! I noticed what looked like pannier racks on your stone special. Is there room to fit a pannier as those Arrows have more upsweep?
If I could get that touring model in San Francisco, I would buy it tomorrow. Hmm, how far is it to Ohio? Maybe go have them make me one and drive it back. ; )
Thanks for the video. Are the bar risers available from Moto Guzzi? How about saddle bags as well? Thanks Joe. I have a 2020 blacked out Stone that I love.
I really want a V7. But with the only dealer having two locations in my area ( both locations an hour and 40 min to 2 Hours away North and South) I opted not to purchase one. Still…..I want one
Buy second hand locally, it will be cheaper and you'll take it to any local shop for maintenance and repair. I did it with a V7 III and I'm quite happy.
I think a double disc on the new V7s would have helped sales. I have a G5 and a Convert and I’m looking for a newer Moto Guzzi . At 5’4 The V7 would work better for me.
These are the most lovely bikes. All of them knock it out of the park. I have a 2023 stone, and cannot get enough of it. Thanks.

My frst bike was a 2015 v7 II. Still own it and still love it!

These are really cool looking motorcycles. I really liked the yellowish one they made a year or so ago.
Love it straight to the point.... this video dare I say it. On point! All pubs intended 🎉

There all bloody gorgeous
Super helpful, especially before stopping by the shop to get my barings a bit as i find it a lot to take in and overwhelming while standing in a shop.
Love all of them. Have a Stone and close to pulling the trigger on the Stelvio.
Beautifully simple and simply beautiful.

I've got the chromed out 20th anniversary V7 III racer. LOVE IT!

Nice a job on the touring model. I like the anniversary one. Would love to have a Griso.
All great looking bikes difficulty is choosing one 😎
I love the classic but they need to design the spoke wheels so you don’t need a tube
My understanding is that the Stone Special has single digital clock and Arrow cans. The Special has spoked wheels and two analogue clocks.
My son has the matte black V7. It is a really fun bike to ride. I like the shiny black special edition version myself. Just needs a backrest for a passenger, some side bags, and maybe engine guards. Can these bikes be fitted with a center stand? comes in handy for maintenance or storage.

Moto Guzzi REALLY needs to bring back the dark glossy blue V7 Special!
Gee, the US spec rear light is a monster.
In the UK a Special Edition is what you call a Special. Your Classic is what we call a Special. Oh, and the stone is called… the stone! ☺️🇬🇧
Yep the names are the same here as in the UK.
@@throttlecompany 👍
I’ll take the one in my garage! 😊
Sei più fornito di tanti rivenditori italiani :D
Your tourer build looks awesome. What screen is that?
I tend to lean towards the Special but agree that touring setup looks fantastic.

Both are aftermarket

Amazing
Bravo🎉
Whats the dry clutch about?
It’s like most cars, just a different philosophy.
I do like your touring model. Pity Guzzi don't cater for that market themselves
Jesus, the Corsa. ❤

Dual disc brakes on a bike like this is just marketing. Completely unnecessary but some people are convinced they need it.
I don’t agree. At 67 and riding for 55 years I’ll decide for myself but hey to each his own.
@@throttlecompany you are 100% correct Dylan, having owned two V7’s the brakes are excellent, doesn’t need more.
The special i love crome..black is for the people who have not afford crome..
Chrome sucks.
my guzzi has a vtwin. it's not horizontally opposed. because it's a vtwin. it's transverse in the frame. but nothing is horizontal about it.
Congratulations!
Too much money!
