Currently own a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 cc that I have had for 20 years. Once took me 120 miles on one cylinder at highway speed when one spark plug wire crapped out on a Sunday morning with no shops open. At almost 70 years old it has gotten too heavy to maneuver in and out of situations. Purchased a 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone at more than 100 pounds less wet weight. Absolutely love it. Will stay with Moto Guzzi for the rest of my riding life. I have owned BMW, Laverda, Ducati, Moto Morini, Triumph, BSA, Zundapp, Indian, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Cagiva and loved them all for different reasons, but the fact that I can physically handle the weight of a bike that will cruise (illegally) at 85-90 mph for as long as I need, looks good, is reliable and affordable and unique, why shop anywhere else?- -Mike Battle

Beautiful. Thoughtful. Enjoyable. I watch this review once/ week and it brings me so much joy. It’s a constant reminder of how much I love my Stone. For how big motorcycle culture is in SoCal, I’m astonished how few of them I see here (tends to be the land of Triumph around here). It’s a head turner to say the least. Happy I own one and hope the bike gives you years of joy. Keep making videos! Your pacing and tone feeds your wonderful storytelling.

I totally agree. I have had dozens of bikes over the years, and like the author, I was also a young two-stroke rev-head at one stage. But you grow up and your values change. More recently I started up a small motorcycle touring company here in Australia, and I was looking for the right bike. The 'right' bike had to be able to get around the twisties, be able to tour the straight bits in between, it had to be economical, reliable, have a good touring range, and most of all - it had to have a bit of 'cool'. I mean, who wants to ride a sewing machine, or do 300+kms a day on a hard-seated plastic enshrouded sports bike, or to try and look graceful doing a U-turn in a car park on 350kgs of American iron... not me. So after many test rides and much research I purchased my first V7. I now have six. Love-em. These are the most under-rated bike on the market. I feel like I am holding onto some news that should be shared. So here I am sharing...

The Royal Enfield Bullet-Classic has even more cool factor. Although it doesn't have the straight line speed it can U-turn inside one lane. Maintenance is more often but less complicated, it's easier to get right, e.g. hydraulic tappets that need no attention every service. Surprisingly perhaps it has more sophisticated suspension, progressive springs and dual rate damped forks, gas shocks at rear. Even greater range, almost 300 miles. Although on paper very similar weight to the V7, it is significantly lighter to shift about. Both bikes are very easy to ride but the Enfield needs less rider input, less concentration, so one can spend more time viewing the scenery.

Morning Jon, thanks for the comments and for watching. As for the unit of measure for fuel consumption, yes the stone does have this. I spent a slightly confusing 17 minutes getting it sorted. It’s in the manual page 44, but in order to edit the various functions, you have to be in “Odometer’ mode first, then press and hold the mode button for a few seconds until you are able to edit the various functions. Changing the odometer unit of measure is the 4th one. Once there you press the mode button quickly to toggle between miles and KM. It’s a bit hit and moderately frustrating - so suggest you do it on a wet Sunday evening...Good luck! Cheers, Phil.

Good morning - well, I don’t see why not. It does pretty much everything you could want - aside from extreme speed and two up touring capability, so if neither of those are required, then it’s spot on. While I’m lucky enough to have several bikes, the Guzzi is the one I’m intending to keep for many, many years and if it ends up being my only bike then I wouldn’t be too upset. There’s a sense of simple ruggedness about the bike, plus it’s one that I think will age really well. As I get older I value aspects of motorcycles that perhaps I didn’t before - such as ease of use and the Guzzi really delivers that. Cheers, Phil.

Evening Vincent, glad you enjoyed the review & thanks for your comments. Yes, like you I didn't want to ruin the look of the bike with a huge screen + the Guzzi one, over here in the UK, is like £170! It's a bit too big also. The one I've fitted is made by Dart Flyscreens www.dartflyscreens.co.uk and comes in at £80. It's real easy to fit and pretty good quality. It helps a little bit - obviously it does nothing for weather protection, but I find it helps with the wind pressure so that I can cruise easily at 85mph / 135KPH (on private roads only of course). I'd say it's gained me about another 10-12KPH cruising speed maybe? The only thing is, it directs the airflow to the bottom of my helmet - and while it doesn't cause buffeting it is noticeably louder, so earplugs have to be worn. I'm five foot ten for reference. Hope that helps. Guzzi's are the best! Cheers, Phil.

Hello David, not really - the bike runs nicely cool and even in hot weather it’s absolutely fine. Hope that helps, cheers, Phil.

The sensation of the front wheel not being connected to the road and being bounced off line is down to the Sport Demon tyres. I felt that immediately on my V7.ii and so swapped to Avon Roadriders. It now feels well connected and no hop, skip and jump; they don't wibble over road repair patches and they also grip in the wet. They're also considered an upgrade to the BT45s on Bonnies.

Afternoon Jeff, thanks for that. I’ve swapped to BT45’s now (luckily the Pirelli’s wore out really quickly) and the difference is incredible. Thing is when I went for a test ride (on a V7II) I thought “this handles alright” and on the basis of that bought the VIII. On the ride home I wondered what was going on! The front tyre felt like it was floating. I kinda got used to it but now realise the V7II must have something other than Pirelli’s on it. Still all is good now and I might just try the Avon’s next time around. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, cheers, Phil.

80:8 Photography & Design - I test rode the V7.iii and found the Sport Demons skittish. I test rode the V7.ii that I eventually bought with Sport Demons on and it wasn't so bad, the newer bike may have stiffer suspension. I actually preferred the ride on the V7.ii. However I had them change the tyres to Avon Roadrider, which I know. Although not a 'sport' tyre they do have a higher rating and do wear well. Myself, I have not ridden on Bridgestone for some years, so perhaps an unfair comment. Hope they work out well.

Hey Steve, elegant...Gosh, that’s some adjective. Perfect though for the Guzzi, as I think elegant is not what most motorcycle companies are looking for. For me elegant (especially the Italian take) is Vespa, Sophia Loren, washing hung over the narrow streets of Napoli, a good Ristretto and of course, Moto Guzzi. Thanks for watching, cheers, Phil.

Good evening! Well, I would say it's more about size rather than weight. I'm 5"10 and it's while it's OK for me, if my legs were any longer it might be a tight fit. Weight wise I'm around 160lb and the bike feels fine. The engine is torquey and free revving, so another 60lbs would be no problem, so I think it's more about fitting what is a quite small machine. Hope that helps and thanks for watching, cheers, Phil.

Good morning Lorenzo, many thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the review. There’s nothing like the feeling of waiting for a new Guzzi to arrive 😀 As for the windshield, it’s made by Dart Flyscreens and it’s very good quality. On a recent trip to The Alps, I was cruising at 130/140 kph and felt very little head / shoulder pressure or buffeting and while it’s difficult to tell, possibly that was the screen just taking the edge off the wind flow. Either way it looks pretty good! One thing it does do, compared to having no screen, is make the wind noise louder - so earplugs are a necessity. Hope that helps and all the best with your new arrival! Oh, the V7 touring review is coming soon, cheers, Phil.

I’ve just bought a v7 carbon. I’m loving it . Where did you get the fly screen from? And does it cut the air flow down? Great video

@80eightReviews

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks! The carbon looks fabulous! As for the fly screen it’s made by Dart Flyscreens - it’s exceptionally good quality, very thick polycarbonate and very easy to fit and at £80 lots cheaper than anything Guzzi do themselves. With respect to the airflow, it doesn’t so much cut it down as move it higher and smooths it out, so now it hits me in the chin bar of my helmet yet doesn’t shake my head about. It’s definitely taken some of strain off my shoulders when travelling at cruising speeds. I’d imagine the Guzzi one is better but from an aesthetic perspective, it just looks a bit too big to me. Hope that helps, thanks for watching, cheers, Phil.

Hello Phil , a little utdate: I’ve had 5 driving lessons , each 1.5 hour long. The schools bike is a 2 cyl. Yamaha with 700 cc engine . I must admit , I am not the perfect mc rider, being stiff and unrelaxed, but it is getting better! Have used my V7 on an unused gravel field , trying to learn the basics, and how to drive at walking pace. I knew mc riding would not come easy , it was the same when I started with both cars and lorries, lots of trying and failing….. But there Are some good news too , I completed the theoretical test at Statens Vegvesen , witch is the authorities who is in control of the driving tests and licences. Had hoped being able to drive the bike on a holiday this year , but I do not think it is possible , new plan must be to Get the driving licence this year. I am a member of the Norwegian Moto Guzzi Club, and they have a Local branch very close to where I live. We meet once a month , with different activities each time. Average age about 60 , grey hairs , and lot of smiles. They Are more into older Moto Guzzi’s, and it is not uncommon to have more than one bike. May all good people have a nice summer!

Hey William - is that the bike or tyres? The bike is fine, I mean there’s no protection of course but wear the right gear and you’ll be fine. The bike behaves itself in wet conditions and I’ve never had any problems with it. The original Pirelli tyres are dreadful in the dry and I swapped mine to Bridgestone BT-45 followed by Avon’s. Both great tyres and no concerns in the wet at all. It’s worth turning the traction control off though as it’s very sensitive. Aside from that all is good. Hope that helps and thanks for watching, cheers, Phil.

Hi there.I'm not sure if you see comments from older videos. If not, I might leave this on one of the more recent ones, anyway......I love the film quote that this starts with and with that in mind I wonder what you consider is the modern motorcycle that is most equivalent in style, and culturally, to the Brough Superior. Maybe you think the V7 is that bike, but I'd be interested to know your opinion. All the best.

@80eightReviews

Afternoon Tom...Hmm...Interesting question! I guess in terms of ethos, the Ariel Ace could be considered the modern day equivalent? After all it's someone else's engine in a bespoke chassis with lots of different engineering solutions applied together with being produced in small volumes on a bespoke basis. It's possibly rather quick also :-) Though not as pretty perhaps? I could sort of imagine TE Lawrence nailing one around the lanes of Dorset. The V7 is too utilitarian I think - however, what made me think of the opening sequence of Lawrence was on one of my first rides on the V7 - I found myself on a little leafy B-Road, sort of leaning forward into the wind and feeling a machine very much alive underneath me. Just like the front shot of Lawrence on his ride. Except I'm like a million times less cool / stylish than Peter O'Toole :-) Anyway, thanks for watching, cheers, Phil.

Good morning Alen, hope you’re doing well. The V7 would make a fine first bike I think - it’s easy to ride, not too powerful yet is still a proper motorbike. Compared to Japanese bikes it’s somewhat idiosyncratic - in that it’s lumpy, the suspension is basic and the handling a little bit old school (say compared to a CB500) but hey! That’s the Guzzi experience! And of course it’s way cooler than a CB! As for touring, absolutely - it’s a perfect little tourer - you’ve got a big tank range, shaft drive, comfort and enough speed to cover plenty of miles. I took mine around Europe a few years back and covers around 3000 miles and it was great. Hope that helps and thanks for stopping by, cheers, Phil.

I own a V7 III as well, and i drove it now for about 6k kilometers. Absolutely love it. However, i hear nobody about the quite stupid design flaw, which is the side stand. Even when I am not driving the guzzi at Rossi moto gp speeds, the sidestand is scraping tarmac all the way trough corners. This is particulary strange since the left footpeg is not touching the road. I was wondering if you might have experienced similar problems?

I’ve not had the side stand scrape although my toes have touched the ground on a couple of occasions and I’ve had the bike virtually off the side of the tyres.

My rear shocks are quite hard / lots of pre-load so perhaps that could account for the difference...I’ll do lots of testing over the weekend and report back if I have any issues. Cheers, Phil.
