@@bratcafe5632 yeah Guzzis are Not really the fastest Bikes. But surely among the most comfortable and relaxed to Ride. No Match for most Bikes when it off comes to Speed though!

Weather in our area usually stays below 10 till may and shitty till june. So its better to just get decent cloths than to not ride at all for months! Glad you're enjoying your Special. Ride Safe!

@@stefter4549 a bit more cinematic stuff coming soon! Thanks for watching!

I wasn't even sure KZbin would work with 360° Videos since i have never seen them so far on the platform. :D Thanks for watching!

@ Works flawlessly here sir!

@@hangarrat Thanks for the feedback! Guess ill upload the rest of the trip then as well. Beautiful landscapes but was pretty nervous since the rest of my riding group had to return because of an accident at the first day of the trip.

Actually drove by two! :D both at Minute 02:46 and 04:20 on the right side. One of them is sadly closed atm looking for new owners.

More to come soon!

We got Michelin Road 5s on our V7s. Pretty Good in the wet and on the Road but as soon as you leave the pavement or dirty roads in General can be sketchy. But i guess thats true for all Road tires to a certain extent. I would Trust them on UK roads. I rode through the Peak and Lake district in June and Had 5 degrees Celsius on Snake Pass - hows the Winter riding in the UK?

@@ScramTours I’ve got Bridgestone B45 and they’re great on tarmac. But sketchy on wet grass. Was thinking about something 80/20 or 50/50 for my camping trips and the gravelly Welsh roads. I don’t ride below 3 degrees in case of ice but 5 degrees upwards I try to get out. Just longing for some sun! It’s pretty grey in UK atm and short days. How old are your V7s?

​@@jackiewenden7657 We have a 23 and a 24 Model. Bought one for my old man as well who wanted an upgrade from his Honda Rebel 500. And what an upgrade it has been! I did not check yet but if they are available i will put some Heidenau K60 Scout on the Guzzi next. Those were the best tyres i ever had so far on a bike. Good on and offroad equally and the best millage i ever heard a bout on a motorcycle (around 20-25k) More of an adventure bike tyre but just what you might be looking for on welsh roads! Wales was one of the most beautiful countries i ever ridden through. Might be a bit touristy but the A5 around Betws-y-Coed had some breathtaking views!

@@ScramToursI went from a Rebel to a Nevada 😊 Love it 😊

@@jackiewenden7657 Quite upgrade as well. The Nevada is such a classy machine!

@@Ser_Noble Always wanted to Ride around Ireland by motorcycle! Maybe you can Share some routes? It didn't rain in weeks so i hoped the roads would be free by now. Guess you can never be too carefull riding below Zero! Ride Safe!

@ Ireland is a great country for motorcycle travel, come here in late spring or summer, autumn can be too rainy. There are many routes through picturesque places that stretch along the Atlantic Ocean. Be sure to visit the Kerry ring, and the entire Kerry area, this is the western part of the country. You can also choose the east coast if you arrive in the port of Dublin or Cork, visit cities such as Wexford and Waterford. It all depends on how long you plan your trip. Do not choose motorways for travel, they are created only to get you from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Good luck on the road and do not forget about left-hand traffic.

@Ser_Noble thank you so much! Noted and stored for our next Tour! We went all the way up to Scottland Last year so left hand Traffic and Bad weather should BE No Problem. Looking Forward to it!

​@ You are welcome!

@@kaguya16 you can get the 24 or 23 model at bargain prices at the Moment. Check your local Dealers!

We have several Videos up with just the V7 alone, if you want to check them out! We actually have two V7 Specials at the moment: one with a Zard exhaust and one stock so you can compare. Yeah that might be a bit too cold for riding no matter the clothing. :D

And there is no chain that can rust. ;D A better all year bike than most!

@@Oscar-ll7hm there is no Bad weather Just Bad clothing and as you can See in the Video Bad tires. ;D Hopefully the weather clears Up for you soon! Ride Safe!

and to take the time and mind to apreciate it. Ride Safe!

Man i wish. :D

There is no bad weather just bad clothing ;D Ride Safe!

@@ScramTours yeah, You are right! Thx and have good and save rides, too.

Is it your first bike? If so there are several points i was not aware wheni started riding that ended with me going through a lot of bikes till i found the riding style i like. First of all - i hate chain maintance so id choose a bike with kardan every day of the week. Minor point for most but since i ride all year long its a big bonus that i dont have to worry about my chain rusting away because i forgot to spray it. Second is character. The MT07 is a good allrounder with good punch in the Revs where it matters - low to mid range. The CP2 Engine is almost indistructable and there are loads of options that will make it be customized to your needs. Sound can be quite narly as well with the propper exhaust. A good choice excpet maybe when you plan to go on longer tours. The lack of wind protection and awkward looking luggage options make it a bit hard to recommend. It's one of the best selling bikes in the A2 Market for a reason. Id suggest you have a look at the Suzuki GSX8s as well if you like the looks - the engine is even better low down and sometimes you get them even cheaper than the mt07. The Guzzi has something the naked bikes lack and its a drawn out phrase - character. The Sidewards shake from the Shaft drive the look sound and feel of the sideways mounted engine is something you can't get from almost any other bike on the market. Only a Guzzi rides like a Guzzi. I have never been talked more to from other bikers and random people on the street about the bike than on this one. Its straight up beautiful - the longer you look at it the more beautiful it gets. Analog dials are a big plus for me as well - just looks way cooler than modern TFTs to me. You can get quite sporty with the Guzzi as well - good punch mid range and gets even a bit rowdy in the higher revs. If you have the chance try to get a test ride on both or at least sit on them. The Guzzi has a super comfy seat, the MT07 is on the more sporty side. If you want a unique bike go for the Guzzi. If you want a every mans bike you cant go wrong with go for the MT07 or GSX8s. Ride safe and keep us updated!

@@NefariousTribe im quite comfy on them with 1.87cm. Try one out for Sure!

@ScramTours there is a Corsa for sale near me. I think I will! Have you tried a V9?

@NefariousTribe me and my old man tried both the v9 and the v85. The v7 has the Same huge Gas Tank as the v85 and is easier too handle and has better fuel efficency. At least in our area the v7s are way cheaper than both the v9 and v85s. Id suggest you try a v7 Special If you get the Chance. Those dual gauges are just beautiful. Be The 25 models will have Cruise Control and better Suspension - but no chance for analog dials. Ride Safe! Nothing quite Like a Guzzi on the Market right now. And old v7s are at bargain prices right now. You wont get a cheaper shaft Drive Bike new atm.

@ScramTours thanks! I'll check them out. Going to be a change from a Super Glide!

@@NefariousTribe Depending on where you live most likely a refreshing one! Here in the blackforest area of Germany the MGs are almost a perfect fit.

I got the Revit Potential Jacket and Trousers dirt cheap in a black friday sale - and gotta say they kept me quite warm without being too bulky. Highly recommended especially on sale! Ride Safe!

Getting some heated gloves soon - besides that if you make sure that not an inch of skin is out in the open the temperature wasnt too bad!

I sold a brand new Honda NX500 to get one of these. Nothing wrong with the Honda - but nothing really right either. I know its a drawn out phrase but the character of this bike is just something else. Even after 4k Miles i still giggle over the sidewards shake.

@@themarvelousvintage76 thats the Gear Shift indicator. Posps Up quite early at 4.5k RPM. You can turn it off though, its still on from the Break-In period. I think the LCD of the Stone has something similar but not bright flashing red. A nice reminder in the off season to Ride a bit more carefull. ;D

@ScramTours ah ok I change it at 7000rpm so doesn't flash often

@@matusknives great choice as a First Bike - Low maintenance, enough power to have fun and superb Handling. And Most of all - you can get the Special Models dirt cheap. 6k is a Steal for that Bike. Especially compares to the Rest of the field.

@ thank you! It really is a great bike even though the deals to be had here in Germany are not quite as big. I have some riding lessons to take in the spring (I had a license since I was 20, but never got a bike) and then it will be off to test rides.

This video was taken after the first service - so 1500 Miles. So im still a bit hesitant to rev it high out of habbit and the gear shift light coming on quite early on the v7. As far as the dealer said you don't need to remap for the zard exhaust with baffles. Says so on the manufacturers side as well.

@@ScramToursciao,la spia cambio( aquila) la puoi registrare tu, la mia v7 stone ha 13000km ho cambiato filtro aria e bucato scarichi originali, la moto va sempre meglio, comunque la tua suona bene,ciao

Bei meinem Baby hab ich die "max revs" auf 6000/min eingerichtet. So nach 20 km, wenn die Guzzi schön warm ist, drehe ich sie auch mal darüber, wow 😁 Habe mein Schätzchen nun über 7000 km am Laufen, V max lt. Tacho 196 km/h, dabei sehr stabil, 0-100 in 5,5 sec. Das sind wirklich tolle Werte finde ich, aber am Coolsten ist das entspannte Cruisen! Freue mich auf weitere Videos, die Linke zum Gruß!

@@stefter4549 mia moglie mi ha tradotto un po’,una gran moto👍🏻 quando ho tempo vado da un meccanico mio amico e vediamo se agisce un po’ sulla centralina originale, come aveva fatto sulla California 1100

@stefter4549 ja die Revs sollten wir mal hochsetzen. :D insgesamt kaum ein Motorrad gefahren das sich so stabil anfühlt beim fahren egal in welcher Geschwindigkeit. Und genau das macht halt die Guzzis aus - gibt nicht was wirklich vergleichbares. Sind einige Videos in der Pipeline und im Frühling geht's mit der Kiste bis nach Schottland! Vielen Dank für den Kommentar und gute Fahrt!

Not on all models but yeah. Kinda wierd i doubt if they ask their customers it would end up this way.

@@Davidlouis3 sketchy conditions and being new to offroading at the time might not be interesting for everyone. ;) I would suggest Onthebackwheel s Videos on the vstrom If you want to see the bike be used by an offroad capable rider! :)

@@SouthWest-jj8yu yeah in Germany Most Sold are 125s because of the restrictions of the drivers license. Apperrently this specific model seems to be quite rare. We had to weld in new threads for the sparkplugs spark plugs because they were blown out of the engine block. Quite amazing that that bike runs at all to be honest. Those old Hondas really are something else.

@@ScramToursyeah in the UK it’s 125 now but back in the 70’s it was 250 so they were most popular, and mostly two strokes that tended to be faster although they were on poor tyres and weren’t so good in corners.

@@SouthWest-jj8yu Must have been quite the adventure on english roads back then. Or were they better Back in the day? Our tour this year through the Peak district to Wales was more adventure than we bargained for :D

@@ScramToursI can’t remember what the roads were like back then but they were quieter much less traffic. I was in rural Scotland and used to commute to Edinburgh for work where I could park in the city centre. I had a few 250’s before moving to 400’s anything bigger than that was considered a big bike so the middleweights of today were the big bikes of the past. My first 250 was a Yamaha RD250E it had a race modified engine with carb mods and expansion chamber exhausts. For the time was very fast but like many bikes back then straight line speed but no brake or suspension changes. Tyres were awful they seemed to have been made in a square shape from hard plastic, they could cope in the dry but terrible in the wet and as I biked all year round often in snow could lead to scary times.

@@SouthWest-jj8yu To be fair - english tyres seem to be pretty messed up even these days. Never seen that many broken tyres on the side of the road anywhere else. But your bike must have sounded amazing back in the day! I somehow expected that england figured out tyres for rain faster than most other countries. :D Must have been amazing to ride back in the day non the less. Especially in the more rural areas of Scottland a few less cars and especially busses would have made a few corners a bit less sketchy. :D

@@jonathantodd6953 without baffles. We have another Video Up with a direct Sound comparisson on our Channel with Stock and zard If you are interested!

We tried to keep this one as stock as possible - germans regulations are quite strict when it comes to changing anything from original manufacturers parts. And those are hard to come by on a bike that old. But sooner or later we'll take the time and upgrade a few things - the bike deserves it!

Sounds quite entertaining to ride at least! :D We tried measuring this one with GPS and another bike. Respectable 108 Kmh. Not too bad!

@@AbeMohamed-vw6xp If you know your way around the "old" Tech a clear yes!

My heart beats faster...😊 But the same problem with the speedometer as with my CB 500 four: the inner cup is rubbing against the pointer roller. Can be fixed but adjusting the Cup a bit...

@@tuncerkose2414 homologated! We have pretty frequent Police checks in our area. (Blackforest Germany) Wouldn't be worth the trouble and as you said - Sounds pretty neat for a street legal Pipe.

@@ScramToursNormally, I ordered a race because there is no sound from homologated snow, I haven't received it yet, but I regret it very much, the open ace is very sound

thanks! Still trying to improve the sound quality for the engine for future videos!

@@davidbodden8435 Blackforest Germany near Ettenheim.

I agree - a lower exhaust system would have a lot of benefits. But wouldnt that basicly be a t120 Bonneville? You would loose ground clearance - the main reason for the wierd side exhaust. The XC has good ground clearence without having a high seat height. And now something that applies only if you ride often in cold climates: I actually liked the additional warmth. The aftermarket exhaust made sure it didn't get as hot as the stock exhaust but it kept me warm through rainy scottland and wales. You can get some bargain deals on the XC at the moment. Oehlins suspension and cruise control is usually something reserved for much more expensive bikes. So i would still recommend it even with the quirky exhaust. You won't get a more beautiful, characterful motorcycle for that price in my opinion!

I doubt yo need that much ground clearance,, I ride a RE Himalayan and it has a low pipe without issues,,,That high exhaust really is just a styling thing,ok for local rides,but crap for touring ,,,anyway just my opinion(like a*****holes we all have one) yeah there are some bargins onthe market,,trouble is I just bought a BSA mucho cheapo !!! cheers

​@@lipsee100 It came in handy several times in England. English roads are pretty shitty and my Nav took me down some dirt roads with some nasty holes. Especially with the luggage it could have been gone quite badly. Sure you don't need it in regular situations but it's nice to have without many of the downsides that come along with long travel suspensions. Its a bit hard to compare a Himalayan with a small displacement engine against a 1200cc. The Engine takes up a lot more space. An underslung exhaust system would lower the bike by 3-4 Centimeters and bashplates wouldnt fit anymore. But yeah the Exhaust would be pretty annoying when i would tour in the summer in Spain for sure. But at least you wouldn't have to pack a BBQ!

@@ScramTours Just regarding my Him,,it took me down the Spain(Gib) and then on to Romania /Moldova this summer 30 days..Great trip,, Am confident about taking it on the rough fully loaded..Being 68 I have to have a bike I can pick up ,,I doubt I could pickup a Scram..but if it was just for road work cor lovely bike,,,I never liked the T120 ,,looks too porky to my eye... Iv just come back from a ride out ,,and we,ve had a storm the last few days (Lincolnshire) so I went my usual off road route,, it was well soggy and the path was blocked by a fallen tree..hehe anny excuse to go really off track,,so I rode into the wood ,,well before I knew it I was into a swamp (ok but it was damp)and the going was very soft ,really had to blast though..If I had dropped there ,no way could I ave picked up,,all good fun...cheers

@@lipsee100 Yeah the Scrambler is not fun to pick up at all. Man you should pick up a cam yourself and film your adventures. An english gentleman hitting the backcountry offroad sounds like quite the adventure. Ride Safe!

@@colinjarvis2739 we did. still salty that zippers on bags that expensive are that shitty.

Yeah - Im not sure what makes the V7 Special Special anymore.

@@anthonymolinaro9494 nope

Depends on what you expect from the Windshield. Had to check freedom units - Im 6.13 ft tall. The Windshield mostly keeps the wind off my chest but i need to sit like a shrimp to completely get rid of any wind noise. I didn't have any buffeting, seems to be well thought out when it comes to channeling the wind. Heads Up though: Like all Unit Garage Parts: it's a pretty annoying to attach it. If you intend to crunch some miles at highway speeds i'd highly recommend it. Did a good Job on my Trip from Germany to Scottland and back.

We prefer the classic headlight of the old special. The engine would be fine for a cheaper price point. Over 10k for the new model puts you almost in Range of the Triumph Tiger 800 or the 660 Lineup with 85 HP. The Shaft Drive and riding characteristics are awesome but the value for money becomes more questionable with each generation.

We doubt they do. It feels like MG does not understand the customer base of the V7 at all. The new model range lost its classic charm and is pretty bad value for money.

@@silverido yep! Heat Generation was fine though.

@@VICScrambler seems to be welded onto the exhaust itself.

To be honest - the clunky transmission is one of the reasons me and my dad both got us some discounted v7 Specials. Having a satisfying clonk on the shifts is something i adore about the bike. But most of all the handling and engine response! Such a cool bike.

You can't have much more fun on a street motorcycle! would you mind sharing the specific velocity stack upgrade? Maybe its something for our bikes as well! Thanks and ride safe!

Define close? :D that was quite close to Basel. But the area looks quite similar!

@@Chris80 my Point exactly. This Generation will have a hard time to compete with basilcly every other Brand. Guzzis are more expensive, have arguably worse components besides the shaft drive for a price almost 2k more or even 5k compared to RE. I Love Guzzis, the Shake and the Handling. But i have concerns they will get far with an approach Like this.

From my point of view today the most beautiful v7 Special was the blue one from 2021 with its white pin stripes. Year after year the design became worse and the digital cockpit in 2025 is the worst point of all.

Definitely was a selling point for my '21 Special!

I talked with a Guy from MG at Eicma - He said media functionality is optionally available. I guess that means the MIA will be available for it!
