Moto Guzzi V7 Classic
Wow. Really digging this bike. Anyone seen one in person?

 this retro movement has it's drawbacks. a few years ago guzzi was looking to the sixties, and creating beautiful things like the centauro, and the rosa corsa. now they've moved on the the late seventies. and the results are ugly and boring.

I saw it at the show. It didn't do much for me. I like the V11 Sport series better. I had one of these for a while. Crude and relatively fast...

Not as cool as the original V7 sport (currently one of the more collectible guzzis IMHO). I've had a few of the older ones (1979 LeMans and a 1983 1000sp) and they are definitely agricultural. Not sure what has changed in that regard (probably not much).

Saw one at the Seattle motorcycle show. Not bad, but I think they should have redone the T3or better still, the LeMans2. Prefer the Ducati GT1000.

I like the model sitting on top of the bike, if that's any help.

I've had a soft spot for Moto Guzzi's since I saw a new 500cc Monza like this pic in a dealer as a kid. I thought it was the most beautiful bike I'd ever seen. A few years later I was riding one as a DD. It had a rough life so fortunately I worked at a MC repair shop so I could keep it running
