Heh, heh...it has never happened in my moto life to test ride a motorcycle before buying*...I just have an internal feeling/intuitions and sniffed out that it will be a good lump for me, and I have never been disappointed....identical story with both CBs*

* '13 CB was bought in January when -20*C/-4*F and snowing, '14 one was tested but it was just formality as I already had my '13...and with the red DLX, I was in such a hurry that I never check anything, including documents, VIN...etc, just relaying on forum member/Alain Lee opinion and talking/texting to the previous DLX owner.

I already know and accepted that V7 is a totally different animal then CB.

Spring, please come sooner this year

You'll definitely want to test ride a V7 before putting down the stash.

Booking opportunities should be good right now. Roads are dry and nobody is riding with -30C windchill [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB. You should have the V7 for one to two hours all to yourself.

This is good thinking GO...Wednesday will be around 0*C

That would be a very cool excursion.

Ensure to check back in with the CB1100 Forum with a full report on what's happening with the 2022 Moto Guzzi V7*. Itchin' folks may wish to know.


Warning: Don't look at other Guzzis while there.
