Moto Guzzi v7 III Test ride

[@shmac96]

Man you have a great mic! Picks up the sound of the bike wonderfully! Thank you sir!

[@jamesnickel4748]

Great ride! I'm about to pick my V7 III Anniversario up in 2 months when the weather warms up here in London. Can hardly wait. Your ride confirms I made the right choice. Thanks for sharing the video. Safe riding.

I've decided: come spring, I'm running an ad on my '67 BSA Thunderbolt so I can buy a used V-7 Racer. I like its' compactness, electric start, shaft drive, and its' looks. The riding position also appealed to me, perfect for the two-lane highways out here in Nebraska. With virtually no traffic cruising at 80 to 90 mph is a piece of cake. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

I just bough V7 iii 50th anni, this bike was fantastic. Easy to ride easy to maintenence with superb riding. I have done 2400km within 2 months while there were 6 months to achieved first 2000km on my previous bike.

[@johnn6681]

Congrats bigbird! The anniversario is a beaty. How would you rate the performance and handling?

[@NSixtyFour]

Love the way that thing looks

[@samsound8510]

Most useful video of a V7 III to date.

[@MrBluster09]

A suggestion: do a walk around on the bike, showing us details like the 90-degree opposed V-twin, gas tank volume, 6-gear shift, ABS and traction control, and shaft drive.

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

Excellent idea I was thinking of doing that on my next test ride

[@stevemiller7433]

beautiful sound

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

Thanks

[@WillBrequin]

Nice video. Maplewood seems to be a very cool district. Best regards from France.

[@roadkingjonesy4656]

That is a cool looking bike. Looks old school. Great motovlog. Keep them coming. Seen your in St. Louis. I'm in Evansville,In

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

+RoadKingJonesy thanks , were practically neighbors 😜 small world

[@mbcoll8154]

Great vid and bike. Music is not needed.

[@nunocristino3680]

Nice vid. Seen some videos saying the suspensions are a litle stifer. Would you agree? The riding position and seat seams to be confy.

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

I though the ride quality was good not to stiff for me

@@MotorcyclingwithBrian ah ok! Thanks! What was you fav/least fav thing about the V7? Pros outweigh the cons? Thanks for sharing?

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

@@shmac96 Honestly I don't remember, It's been awhile. It seemed like a really nice bike. You'll have to ride it and decide for yourself.

[@danielandrade1849]

Is is comfortable and enough space for a passenger? Also do you think is good for long distance trips?

[@rayerscarpensael2300]

shit was guessing the guitar bands all the time during the vid, next time give the play list , did i hear some doug aldrich?

[@alexanderkasady6839]

I hate city riding. A winding 2-lane blacktop in the remote countryside for me.

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

I agree, most of my rides take place on those two lane county roads. Happy 😃 riding

[@jamesmorrison745]

Here ARE some quick facts.

[@NicePantsLance]

Awesome video! Love the channel by the way. You've got a sub from me 👍 i wouldn't mind test riding one of these!

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

Thanks 😊 that was a fun ride

[@alecstahl2387]

The only reason why I did not buy the v7 is because it is clearly underpower, and so is the v9. I would love to have the same output on the v7-v9 as in the Kawasaki 900 rs. Then I would buy it in a microsecond because it is the best looking motorcycle there is.

[@Dave-sw2dm]

You miss the point of the V7.

[@alecstahl2387]

Don´t think so. The engine could deliver that much power, but it all comes to the new Euro4 requirement. Kawas do it with more weight, but Guzzis already have the cardan system so that is the compromise apparently.

[@HippoDrones]

I love my V7 it is very customised now though. It sounds ace with straight through pipes, have posted a ride by noise test video of it on my channel if it is of interest to you? :-)

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

+Hippo-Drones I’ll check it out

[@Shadseaweed]

I did it sounds great with those stubbies

[@prophetear6221]

You’d get a lot more views if you just kept the raw sound. That what people are here for, not your filmmaking skills.

[@MotorcyclingwithBrian]

I didn't have the equipment to get good sound back then. The sound strait from the GoPro sounds pretty bad.
