Enjoy the views but keep your eye on the road!

    Nice video - I do like down the ayrshire coast - both on the bicycle, and more recently on the motorbike. I'll be using the bike to commute for as much as I can over the winter, but will swap to the car and/or bus if it gets really nasty weather. I do need to keep my practise up though, so I can hopefully go through my DAS next year.

    Opinions! Always diverse. I purchased a V7 850 stone 18m ago. At first I thought 'what have I done!' The steering seemed over light and the gear box clunked agriculturally through the first 3 gears, wasn't sure about the offset instruments or the matt paint finish. However after about 700 miles it all clicked. A small dart screen takes all the wind pressure of your chest, the offset on the instruments allows your phone to be mounted on the right without obscuring anything, practice with the shift makes it silent 'mostly' and the finish is of good quality. Judicious use of ACF50 means she comes up like brand new after 7000 miles and two European tours. I own a Ducati sports bike, which I love in small doses... guess which bike gets used the most! A neo retro real world motorcycle for modern times.

      If you intend to use the V35 panniers, which are apparently longer than some of the aluminum ones, you’ll need to move the turn signals. Being used to vintage bikes I’ve found turn signal mounts are one of the items that modern design has made more complex and fiddley to extricate. There is at least one UA-cam vid that demonstrates the procedure. My installation is on a new NX500, which I am loving. Same as the CB500x from headstock back.

It is £8200 but it is an 850 not a 650 , it does give you 65 bhp not 47 and it is a shaft drive bike. it also is an very characterful bike as opposed to something that has the personality of a Honda 400 Superdream ie the Enfield.

    It's not the Chineseness of the bike I would be worried about; more the KTMness. I would have no problem with a Chinese Honda. If I was going to buy one of those CF Moto's; frequent oil changes (say every 5000km) would be in order to help make up for any possible topend weakness. Engineer brother and 890 owner agrees. His KTM is in excellent condition . No camshaft problems whatsoever. KTM's are very high compression, more highly stressed engines.

    “It’s Alive!” I’m back to riding after a 25+ year break and the bike I chose to buy was the Moto Guzzi V7 850 Stone in black. A elegant, tech-light, characterful, V twin, shaft-driven thing of beauty. Feel that rumble! 😃

      Thanks for watching. I’m glad you’re happy with your buy. The shaft drive is a big bonus! Ride safe!

    I had an 80's BMW RT 80 for 10 years, so I bonded with the V7 immediately; it's everything I liked about my old BMW, except better in every way. More power, more comfort, vastly better handling; it's just a joy to ride especially in the tight mountain twisties on the Gold River Road here on Vancouver Island. Fifth gear is just perfection on a mountain highway. Perfect power and compression braking for maximum effortless control. My 71 year old knees also love that shaft drive!

      Thanks for watching. It sound like the bike is perfect for you. I’m away to google Gold River Road. Ride safe.

      Absolutely true. If you compare it to a 1970 /5 or later /6 BMW you have the experience of a modern Moto Guzzi. Except the M-G is better, as you would expect after 50 years of developments, than the BMW. New BMWs just are not like this anymore.
