I have an opportunity to get a 2012 Red Thruxton at a pretty good price. Went to my local dealer to sit on one. They only had the green. (I'll keep opinions on that to myself) but it was good enough to sit on.
I am 6'2" 230lbs so fit is important. I haven't test driven the bike yet. I currently have a 2011 Speed Triple and want to add another bike to my garage. So while I was sitting on the Thrux I noticed to my left a Moto Guzzi. I typically never look at em as for some reason I consider them unreliable and over priced plus I am loyal to the Triumph brand, maybe until now.
I saw this exact bike. Pics from the article:

It fit well, better than the Thrux, perhaps more like a Bonnie but I don't like the Bonnies for whatever reason. They just don't do it for me but thie MG does.
Anyone ride the latest V7? I have read a few topics on here and across the interwebs, trying to get some info. They also have a demo black which I think I'll have to test drive. I am concerned to the lack of power over the Thrux but the seating position and the tank size may win me over.
