I do like these

My local Guzzi dealer doesn't have a V7 850 demo yet, so sorry @chas I won't get to ride one this weekend, however I will go down to the showroom (they have 3 in) for a look and get some pics.

Neighbour collected his V85 TT today - only first few miles, but he's very happy with it.

He's coming from older BMWs and Guzzis, so he finds it plenty powerful enough.

I'll keep you posted - we're going out for a ride tomorrow.

After speaking to a salesman at Motorcycle World in Northampton on Thursday who told me that they had 3 V7 850s in the showroom, I went for a ride down this morning on the Street Triple. However when I got there the 3 Guzzis they had were V85 TTs (like Doc Strange's mate), and they were the only Guzzis the supposed Moto Guzzi dealer had in the showroom

They did have some other nice bikes though, MV Agusta anyone




So I went home, had a bit of lunch, and then got the Monster out for a trip over to Wheels Motorcycles in Peterborough.

They didn't have many Guzzis in ether, but did have two V7s (one inside, the other outside) however it was difficult to get a good look as they were both surrounded with other bikes.



Nice place though, with a large showroom and several marques represented. The pictures below are just part of one showroom, they have two separate buildings for Kawasaki and Honda.

Not a waste of time at all, especially as the ride to and from Peterborough was superb, I post about that in the "What have you done thread"
