I was at the Toronto Motorcycle show on the weekend and just have to say I love the look of the Moto Guzzi V7 Racer. It is priced right at $10,200 and I am shore it will be going up with the Thruxton in 2013 Have any of you seen it, your thought..
Beautiful bike like almost everyone agrees, but it is underpowered, I saw one in person and it it stunning but I feel personally that it is almost trying to hard. I want to ride one though, but for the price... It's a bike for Leno that he can store in his shop and choose to ride his Velocette Thruxton instead.
Ive already said this before on here, but in the flesh the bike is stunning, with the exception of the moulded number plates. The pictures really do not do it justice
Down at the Ace Cafe meet in Brighton this year the one on the trade stand was attracting huge crowds. The parts on the bike look amazing and it really works as a whole package. It makes the bonnie look like its been stocked with bargain basement parts from China. The weight difference between the two is huge too, it feels like you are sitting on a CBR600.
And as for the sound not being as good as a Thrux... have you heard these things? theyre brutal!
Holy crap that sounds so awesome....I want one now just for the sound! I wonder what cans he is using. THe new V7 Matte Stone is gorgeous. If they sound that good it may become higher on the priority list.
enfield is on the edge of being too slow for modern traffic, nonetheless its fun in its own "i-dont-care-about-your-fancy-300hp-superbike"-way, the v7 I think has more power and I think will be a better investement on long term
Owned a V7. A cool cruiser, a runabout, not much else.
Don't care for the Racer one bit....overdone, not for me.
The sound clip on the previous page...Mistral pipes....had them on mine (amongst other mods).
Looked at a new Thruxton today...Brookland Green...good looking bike, not contrived.
