[@mrsilbo6499]

It gorgeous & bang on the money. Guzzis aren't about quickshifters & max bhp. Like fine food & wine, they require a different appreciation.

[@leewatkeys9065]

Sold my 7 month old V7 as I couldn’t stand the character “shall I start or not this time”, dealer was crap and hadn’t got a clue. Nice bike no doubt but I’d traded a 20 year old Triumph to avoid reliability issues. Yes warranted but who wants to spend spare weekends in a dealership.

[@Bryan11210]

​@@leewatkeys9065what replaced it?

[@leewatkeys9065]

[@hanxxxs]

My V7 self destroyed its engine in less than a year. Never again a Moto Guzzi for me.

[@josegaut]

​@@leewatkeys9065 I have a V85TT since four years, never missed a beat. Fantastic bike. I also own à Triumph, which I like a lot, but nothing you can compare to the Guzzi

[@CriticalRider]

I love my 2022 V7 Stone Special Edition (the one with the red shocks and Arrow exhausts)!

[@gregleingang9409]

MG has been on a roll. I think they are making the best looking bikes right now and finally have some good specs and tech to go with the looks. They are tempting me on multiple fronts!

[@fderbar1]

Royal Enfield looks better. Because I own one😂

[@MrEricmopar]

@@fderbar1 booooo lol

[@davidspin5353]

The V85TT and the new V100 platform has taken the motorcycle industry by storm.

[@paulcooper5610]

You are correct it does need twin clocks, spoked wheels and high rise clip ons to make it look better, it also needs the same bhp as the 85tt (80bhp) and then it would be a real contender. Failing that Moto Guzzi should just make a mk1 LeMans replica / resto mod, what ever we call them. One day they will do it, hopefully while us 60 plus group still want one.

[@davidphillips7255]

My V7 Stone is my 20th motorcycle in over 50 years of riding and the most enjoyable. Superb in the twisties or the highway with a wonderfully comfortable seat ; with torque that is pure pleasure for effortless travel. The single plate clutch and air cooling are old school; but it's been carefully refined. I'm thrilled.

[@61js]

Wish they'd make a replica, with modern bits, of the 850 Le Mans.

[@daveslastchance]

hey Guzzi... twin gauges are so much more appealing. At least why not give us an option? How difficult can it be to swap out the single cluster with the dual cluster like on the V7 Special???

[@not-fishing4730]

I'm still waiting for a new V7 Racer with ohlins, twin clocks, setback pegs and clipons. Also a 1/2 fairing would be nice.

[@billmarsh3767]

Why don't they use the engine from the 85TT----20 hp more

[@davidforsdike4343]

My V7ii cruises at 75 they make useable power. Why do people keep moaning about power. I don't ever want to do track days or lose my driving license.

[@mrsilbo6499]

Possibly because they all think can use the extra power? On the road, 70-80 mph on your V7 is the same as 70-80 mph on my Griso 1200 SE or an R1. And you wouldn't get me on track either!

[@tripeee58]

I love it!!! I have always loved the Moto Guzzi tank shape which no one comes close to replicating save for Norton. Add in the transverse twin and instant icon! I've always thought of Moto Guzzi as the Alfa Romeo of motorcycles.

[@ragerider6283]

Great vid. A beautiful bike, I really like it. Flat bars over clip -ons is definitely a better choice imo but it should have had the exhaust too. Although it would've been up near 10k so possibly off putting.

[@bronzestarvue]

I've owned numerous Guzzis over the past 40 years, oldest was a '73 Eldorado LAPD. I like this Corsa, looks great. If it had dual discs up front, and dual gauges like you mentioned, I'd be interested in getting one. But with several bikes already in the stable, I'll have to pass (for now!). If they made a Corsa in green with a red frame though...

I think Moto Guzzi is priced very competitively. I really like mine.

[@Butts0hboi]

Good first bike?

[@brentharrington9235]

@@Butts0hboi Used, yes.

[@UncleWally3]

It’s nice that Guzzi tried to hide the cheap looking pinch-weld under the fuel tank but, compared to “classics” of the past, why have pinch-welded tanks in the first place? To save a few dollars, not all manufacturers succumb to that mode of manufacturing fuel tanks. That aside, good on MG for making interesting smaller bikes - less cost, more fun!

[@verlinswarey507]

Nobody is stopping you from throwing some more weld on the tank if you get one!

[@BigMoeFo]

I’m a Guzzi owner and this is old hat for Guzzi. Take the V7 make cosmetic changes and sell it as something new. Instead of doing this take the new V100 engine and put that in a new cruiser. But I do appreciate mentioning Guzzi one of the most underrated bikes out there!

[@bigjoe4020]

I think the V100 Mandello is hard to beat it terms of looks / class and is still my fav Guzzi

[@Dreddingbath]

Hey Bob, I'm still enjoying every ride on my V7 Stone Centenario two years on from your review of my bike, it still feels special. Corsa looks nice but a little disappointed only visual changes, would be nice to see some engine or parts upgrades, or as you point out, the Special's twin clocks would look great here.

[@PaydayGabeBCNV]

❤ Right there w/you Bobby. 65+hp; 5.5gal tank; Stunning Paint scheme. So much to love and very very few items to not. I want that exhaust as standard as well. Under 10k is a banging sweet deal for what it's worth. But!! 💥Has Guzzi resolved its infamous reliably issues. God I hope so 🙏🏻. Cheers 🍻, G. In beautiful Boulder City Nv. USA 🇺🇲

[@robedmunds7163]

About time they did a proper Le Mans

[@neilalgar360]

love the look and the flat bars make it for me

[@kondormotorides]

Strange that it doesn't come stock with the Arrow exhausts and that it doesn't have the red cylinder covers 🤷‍♂

[@markallen2984]

Nobody styles anything better than the Italians. This is an especially beautiful V7 variant

[@MrLeslloyd]

Bring back a Vintage special,based on 1978 T3,TT forks perhaps 850 cyl grafted onto big block crankcase,be a huge seller in touring market.

[@timothybrockbank7474]

Looks stunning

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Beautiful retro bike. I’m seriously considering buying one.

[@captricharddee3634]

I'd like to see Moto Guzzi bring back the 350 and 500. Not everyone needs a 750-1000cc.

[@thebrowns5337]

More choice would be great

[@oliverleifadams2003]

Oozes soul & style. Needs double analogue clocks & the engine from the V100 & it would sell like hot pizza!

[@MrLeslloyd]

but go back to the rounded cyl fins for a change.

[@daverieder8810]

Just placed an order for my own Corsa 😊

[@blondiejoe]

As a V7 owner, I like this, but I wish they would come out with actual performance mods instead of just aesthetic packages. Like give me a proper scrambler with suspension upgrades or a real sporty version to go up against the speed twin. Also everyone likes the dual clocks and not everyone wants to have a chromed out Special. No more single clock.

[@bfarm44]

Aside from an exhaust change I think I’d like the valve covers in red with the center covers to remain black and a seat change for the missus because

[@jeremybyth7991]

If they could give it the power and handling of the Speed Twin 1200 it would be my go to I reckon

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

A naked version of their new, liquid-cooled V100 Mandello would do the trick, but it would not look like a "classic" MG. I doubt that they have the manufacturing capacity to build it either.

[@thebrowns5337]

I absolutely love the look and spec of the V7. I don't own one but it's something to aspire to. Jst feels like it's made for me.

[@Ian-bq7gp]

The new 961 commando may well be sorted and far better than any old parellel twin even costing a lot.

[@1AverageGamer]

I hate that Enfield dont make more powerful bikes. Give me a 650 with 65HP and i am sold

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

Nice advert for the Moto Guzzi V7 lineup! This bike is a cosmetic upgrade, but I do not doubt that MG will sell them all, and at a premium here in the US.

[@zuhair6661]

Italian flair is at another level.

[@user-zc1ji1jd3q]

I wish they would put the V85tt engine and tune into it and call it the Le Mans then I'd be very tempted.

[@SteveBlancoMusicianWarrior]

Beautiful bike! Would've loved to see some analog clocks on it though. Specs don't mean that much on paper. The ride experience is everything.

I want the little fairing in giallo Metallica for my '22 stone. Not done with break in miles yet but she can dance.

[@therealunclevanya]

I really wanted the v7, but test rode a V85TT at the same time, smoother and more powerful, I bought the TT. You have been able to buy a fairing that fits the headlight for a while from Guareschimoto who do the support for the V7 racing series

[@VincentComet]

Definitely should have the twin clocks

[@davidspin5353]

This bike makes me wanna trade in my V85TT.

[@matthatter93]

Guzzi life! Maybe one day they will either beef but the 850 motor to maybe even a 900 or 950 seeing how the overall displacement of the block is a 1058 cc. Either that or maybe giving a liquid cooled version of the 85 and the V7’s with the v100 motor

[@stewy62]

Big fan of the channel but for the umpteenth time it’s a transversely mounted engine (I think you got it right in your last Guzzi video). And I think it’s a bit crazy suggesting that any 850cc bike needs a 6th gear to cruise comfortably at 70mph 🇬🇧

[@t.s.racing]

Crankshaft to frame relationship is longitudinal. The wording is correct.

[@stewy62]

@@t.s.racing that convention is not used for V-twin and flat twin motorcycles, hence Ducati’s and Harleys are longitudinal and Guzzi’s transverse. This is explained in Wikipedia but as far as I know has been the convention for at least fifty years. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_engine#:~:text=Motorcycles%20with%20a%20V%2Dtwin,twin%20mounted%20with%20its%20crankshaft

I love my 2022 V7 Special. Let's embrace these fine machines while they're still around. Future emission standards will probably bring an end to the air cooled transverse V's in the not too distant future.

[@papercut1987]

racer, corsa, special....I feel V7 is about to get a major refresh (maybe with a shrink down version of the new v100 engine?)

[@GIGABACHI]

They need to revisit the Griso, Daytona and Centauro.

[@kaveiros75]

100% with you! I truly greatly loved V100 Mandello when I test rode one, but I would buy a new Griso V100... yesterday!

[@larrynorsworthy8582]

My friend just texted me saying moto guzzi is developing a parallel twin for entry level. Secretly. Any links?

[@operamatthew]

just needs the analogue gauges & wire wheels

They need to do a Racer version with the little fairing

Awesome love moto guzzi 😊😊

[@pggp273]

The Royal Enfield continental GT is underpowered. 😴 yes of course it is. Anything less than 185bhp is underpowered. I sense small willy syndrome

[@currentaf8455]

I mean i love re but for a 650twin it puts out the least power and at one of the highest weights. It’s an awesome retro bike but not for performance reasons.

[@bfarm44]

Great bike for me as I’m past my hair on fire years. A few aftermarket tweaks would put it right in my Goldilocks zone

[@NBDJust_Dave]

Everything except that headlight, beautiful.

[@davidyendoll5903]

And the off set single clock , why ? Two disks up front , better rear suspension , tuneable front suspension and Jota adjustable bar s , would make this bike better again . I would consider this if I could afford a flat full length seat .

[@akula1055]

@@davidyendoll5903 So, you want all these additional things which will increase the price and you cannot afford a seat? This is why manufacturers can't listen to the mass.

I am old and got rid of my CB1100ex and my BMW R NineT as too big, heavy and clumsy slow handling. My Guzzi Roamer is much lighter and handles well.

Ah yes bigger bikes that newer riders cannot use, that's what the market needs right now, more gatekeeper bikes

I'm 6ft and my v7's fine. Easier to wheel out of the garage too...

Could you please add text of the conversion from metric to standard for us fan in th U.S.

[@roadgent7921]

Flatter seat, clip ons and spoked wheels. Then...😊

[@davidyendoll5903]

The spooked wheels on the Special are prone to corrosion according to the youtuber from north England who lives in Germany and owns the beautiful blue version ( can''t remember his channel name sorry ) . I could live with alloy wheels for cleaning ease , so long as they are tasteful to look at . Better suspension would be my up grade and two clocks .

Nice, but still feels missing in the styling.. can do more. Still Telescopic front forks? mmm

What I want to know, is if Guzzi is going to offer that fairing as an accessory for the other 850 E5 V7s?

[@justlookingaround9834]

It would seem a no brainier, but it’s not being offered.

[@Lemmingadventures]

I don't care it is the year 4000. A modern retro bike should have analog gauges. Moto Guzzi always falls just a little short for me to spend my money on one. Also needs the same spoked wheels from the special. And why can't MG paint the rear fender the same color as the front fender and tank?

[@LannyGood]

Would probably get this if I didn’t hate the paint job on it

[@jawoapollon6019]

why there's only one disc brake at the front

[@garyblagg]

My Jackal has the same single disc and has stopped fine for the last 90,000 miles. And it's heavier.

i don't have any nostalgia for guzzis, and im not really in love with this design, to me it looks kind of.. cheap? I like the variant with the spoked wheels, but the headlight, wheels, and screen all just look kind of tacky 😮‍💨 it's never going to be my kind of bike though so I'm not the target demographic, always good to see bikes at this pricepoint still manufactured in italy!

With low down useable torque . Try it and you might change your idea . I understand the high revving sports machines , I had a Gixxer 7 Srad , but I got fed up with having a beast I had to hold back for most of my ride due to paranoia of losing my licence . Let us be honest ... there are bikes that are good on a race track and others that are best for road use .

i own a v7 850 and i have done 60'000km on it since november 2021. I only know one guy who rode his as much as i did mine, which has been almost everywhere in Europe, including the north cape. Do not get yourself fooled, this bike is heavily overpriced. It is mediocre at everything, except for pricing, which is too high, especially maintenance with its pricey 10'000km services and most parts, even if replaced under warranty, taking 2-6months to arrive anywhere in europe ( i ve been to mandello 4 times now in 2 years). If You love the look and maintain it yourself, go for it, otherwise, this Italian has nothing on the japanese, not even performance.

[@RoellieV96]

I would really want to see a v7 with a liquid cooled engine and Aprilia upside down fork, like the mandello, instead of these same old bikes with new looks.
