Moto Guzzi V7 Special // Winter Ride // -3° Celsius

[@irvinmartin9259]

It’s so nice to see the symmetrical twin clocks. I just can’t entirely accept the offset digital one on all the new MGs. It’s unfortunate that the bike you were following was so much louder than yours. I would have loved to hear that V-twin instead. Here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada it will be going down to -24c for the next few nights. So riding is at least a couple months away.

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

Nice ride. It was wryly very cold! I was riding at the end of December at +4*C and it was already too cold for me. The same as you I ride V7 without any windscreen. Hope you have good winter clothes!

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!

Nice video! I rode my v7 850 "silver stripe" two days ago at 2°C (35.6°F), like any ride on my baby since last year, just a pleasure!

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

Im switching my opion for my a2 Nike between this one and an mt-07, i know very different Models But i like the sportyness and the bully Look of the mt on the other Hand exactly Videos like this making my decision very Hard. The look, the Sound the feeling of the „entschleunigt“ riding is so Special about the v7. Is the Kardan ab big difference against a chain?

[@ScramTours]

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!
