Moto Guzzi V7 Stone - Lasting Impressions- Mototechniks - Black Knight or Blackadder ? 

Marvellous, nice to hear from the lowland’s. Thank you 😊

So good it makes long red lights enjoyable

Thanks Mike, that’s quite a collection of bikes you’ve had, especially the wankel 😊 I find being able to connect with a bike is the top requirement 😊 some bikes are just too smooth😊 Moto Guzzis are definitely marvellous bikes that retain just enough of the required course essentials 😊

And brilliant for winter, not something that can be said for others in the same class 😁 thanks MP 😁

Thanks Mal 😁 I understand why they steered you to the RE 😁 they are such good value 😁 but the v7 when there is a deal to be had are exceptional value too 😁 two marvellous bikes for sure 😁

They are , that is very descriptive 😊 thank you

😂😂 it is a marvellous thing😊

Absolutely 😊

A very good testimony 😊 thank you

Thanks Neil 😁 a marvellous bike with real character 😁

Yes, a very special bike 😁 love them 😁 thanks Mal 😁

Thank you 😊

I'll bet you'd become a fan if you had one of these!

Thanks GH 😁 I shall try and see if I can get hold of one for an evening ride. Coming into winter it is an important factor but one which is hard to demonstrate on video, but I shall try. 😁

What about the Corsa 😁 the chrome is just marvellous though 😁 Thanks DCG 😁

Thank you, very jealous 😊

Yes, dealers are so critical in the decision making process and if you have doubts always better to go elsewhere 😁 thanks SB 😁

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊 It is a splendiferous motorcycle 😊

😊 marvellous

I was thinking along the lines of Fabrizio del Carretto 😂😂😂 or just Fab for short 😂😂😂

@@TAYM 🙄😂

Despite the problems I had I still like em. I was very unlucky. Think my v7 must have been by someone with a grudge against the company😱

@@zedcharlie 😂😂😂

😂😂 re chains, it’s mainly getting harder because manufacturers seem to be omitting centre stands 🤬😡 why? 😂😂😂

I guess they want the work themselves at v.large hourly rates or for you to buy accessories (if the do them).

@@jamesthomson9843 possibly, but even basic chain maintenance can be a drag without one 😕

It is a lovely bike to ride 😊

I believe the Moto Guzzis are easier in many ways to home service due to the configuration of the engine 😁 they are distinct but have been made that way for over 100 years 😁 thanks T 😁 I don’t know of any special equipment needed though 🤔

@@TAYM Thanks for the comment friend! There are no problems in the technical part, the problem may arise with the software.

They are a lovely authentic bike to ride for sure 😁 love it 😁 thanks GH 😁

Thank you 😊 It is a nice introduction to big bikes but not sure i would class it as a beginner bike, all depends on the beginner I would say. 😊

Thank you 😊

Hmmm, the BSA, what will become of the BSA? 🤔😂😂😂

The Guzzi is a real genuine brand. BSA is a name only remark.

@@kevinnielsen1356 very true

Both very good bikes. A tough decision if you can only have one 🤔 thanks KJ 😊 I am sure you wouldn’t be disappointed which ever decision you made 😊

Thank you 😊 easy with a marvellous bike 😊

Exactly 😁 thanks W😁

She shouldn’t be, 110% reliable, never going to run off with anyone else. Who would trust an Italian stallion 😂😂😂

@@TAYM . You can't trust an Italian Stallion in the same garage as a Gorgeous Geisha . You'd end up with a litter of Motosakis or would they be Kawaguzzis ?

@@dungspreader 😂😂😂😂

Thanks GH 😁

Grazie, è davvero una splendida moto 😊

Marvellous, i never knew that. Will have to take a peak 😊

Exciting 😆😆😆

Clean the grounds

Me too😊

Thank you 😁

Oh dear, that’s not good. Is it possible that as a test bike it might have been abused by some ham fisted hooligans prior or is it the ghost of Guzzi’s past? 😂 The one I rode seemed perfect 😂

@@TAYM Yes you are probably right that's why I would never buy a x demo bike or x demo anything. But I must admit I did have a big grin on my face while riding the guzzi . But as I keep saying Royal Enfield meteor is half the price. And I have just as big a grin while riding mine .But if someone did offered me a free Guzzi I would bite there hand off 😉

@@Paul-pb3vq and that’s why RE are special. They have a magic spell they cast on all their bikes. I think Moto Guzzi do the same but in their own Italian way (a bit hit and miss) 😂😂😂😂

I've had similar troubles with Japanese machines. So what, fix the switch and move on.

@@kevinnielsen1356exactly what I thought…

Very very jealous, splendid choice 😊

Do much moto camping on Biggles the Tiger 🐅?

@@ruahinesrider sadly no, Mrs TAYM prefers at least 4 walls, a roof and room service 😂😂😂

@@TAYM Maybe Biggles be traded in for Mario V7 special or is Biggles the pillion bike. Probably be the best pillion bike from your bikes but I guess Buddy do a fairly good pillion job too.

@@ruahinesrider Biggles is the equivalent of my car, long distance, quick pace on motorways, A roads, B roads, back roads and no roads, two up or solo, get a ton of stuff in the panniers and top box, great in all weathers. And so on and so on 😊😂😂

😂😂

😂😂 thanks PB 😁

Marvellous, never thought of that. 😊

I loved the bike and don’t know of any specific issues with it. I found it fantastic to ride and loved the feel and look of it. I personally would go for the special if you have the money but that’s just because I like the twin clocks. An expensive like😂😂 the sound is great and with a pipe on sound absolutely fantastic 😁 Thanks Victor 😁

@@TAYM agree with you nothing beats the classic look. But I don't like cleaning spokes or tubed tires. Also I tested the normal version today and the digital gauge is not bad at all...

@@Victor-vf1fi on any account I don’t think the clocks, whichever, would put me off😁 a marvellous bike to ride and that vibe is just wonderful 😁

😂😂😂

Yes, me too 😁 thanks JLA😁

Wendy is safe and having a service and her hooter done this Saturday 😊 re advert, I have had random ones appear for a while. If they become too intrusive I shall do something about them.

Very true😊

Just tested a V7 Stone and it was the best bike I've ever ridden. Nothing like it. What did you get in the end?

😁 indeed 😁 thanks FT 😁

Agostini slip on's.Yeah they rock side to side & my mate rode a old one & said that it pulls you down on the left corners & pull you up on right corners.I wonder if theses new one's like easy to work on they reckon. Dylan from "In the Loop" rode this bike from a friend & HE had a Royal Enfield Dealership & liked so much HE became a dealer of them 😆😂🤣.

Marvellous

Triggered me off 😂🤣👍 I love the V7 & the V9 but V9 has a 15-16L tank & rear cans are straight & scrape if you push it & same motor & HP.The V7 Rough 750 53hp model from 2015-2020 sounds better being a Euro 4 model.The 750 Rough with Headers & slip on's is about 63bhp with out the Euro 5 constraints & sounds even better.I've been looking for a second hand V7 750 2016-20 model to put headers & slip on's but in NZ don't come up to often & hold their value here compared to Ausie.My mate in Ausie showed me a 2017 750 for sale for 11k o.n.o 6000km headers slip on's but he broke.I would of been running to have a look & HE showed me a 2016 V9 850 7000km for 10k o.n.o The best I seen here was a 2020 750 3000km with Agostini slip on's (worth- $1800nz) for 13k & a new V7 850 is 16k & special 17k & a Triumph T100 is $18k. My Harley Mates keep hassling me to get a HD Vtwin & would love to tell them "I got one I got a Vtwin" & they'll be thinking HD & I'll turn up on Motoguzzi 😂🤣 I'd love to see there faces😁😆😂🤣

@@ruahinesrider 😂😂😂 hilarious 😂

@@TAYM They'd be gutted but I'd rather have a smooth V7 than a vibrating hunk of steel😂🤣Only HD I'd have is a 1200 rest to big & long.Be bloody hilarious all right.

😁 thanks ZF😁

Not sure, it is from the GoPro Quik royalty free library 😊

It carries a lot with 21 litres but only does 60 mpg😞

It will get 70mpg if you just putt around. I get 55 to 60 mixed fast riding

@@kevinnielsen1356 marvellous, it does sound like you should get a lot , if you know what I mean 😊

A good move 😁 I had to do similar 😁 though the stone has a certain amount of pace about it 😁 thanks GD 😁

😂😂😂 😊

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 I know right 😂😂 thanks Richard 😁

I wouldn’t mind a hoover that sounds like it 😂😂

@@TAYM I got one it’s a Dyson

@@Lostoldman 😂😂

🤔 not sure what you mean by ‘proper’ English 🤔 there are around 160 dialects and that’s not including English as a second or third language 🤔 so if you could explain precisely which ‘English you would like, I shall do my upmost to achieve your desired version😁 thanks FJB 😁

Fantabulous once more, what more can I say? 😊 😂😂😂

Indeed it is 😊
