Comment on Moto Guzzi V7 Classic — 2500 mi Review by Danilo

Thanks. I’ve just crossed 3500 miles since I bought it in August. The longest I’ve had it at 80-85 is about 50 minutes at one stretch — I did a 500 mile day in 9 hours in September, including stops for lunch and gas. I “might” have seen triple digits during that ride once or twice, but I’m more of the sustained speed type — 75-80 here.

Dan, I’ve been reading with great interest your reports on the lovely V7. I’m in the UK and plan to buy a black & gold one next year… It’ll be used for sunny rides on a Sunday and also tours into Europe which I tend to do each year.
As it happens I have a good Guzzi/Morini/MV/Benelli dealer 3 miles from me…

I’ve had a test ride on one, although very brief, and loved it. I didn’t have the time to test it’s ability on the motorway and to see how it could sustain touring speeds in Europe of say, 80-85mph, but I plan on a more thorough test come purchase time to confirm.

I know many reviews always compare it to the more powerfull (and cheaper), Bonneville, and that too is a lovely bike. But I’m sorry, on looks alone this V7 wins.

Please keep updating your ownership reports on the V7, it is excellent.

Cheers, Andy.

Hey Danilo,
I am enjoying your articles!. Great Stuff!- I’m sorry my vocabulary is not as Orwellian (Orson Wells), but I think it gets the point across- “We never sell a wine before it’s time”- an Orson Wells moment!
