Be careful. Now three of us have mentioned the excessive turn-in of more than one model of newer Moto Guzzis. On my '14 California it was so severe it was an unsafe vehicle. I am not overstating it. It was that bad. Maybe some combination of the size, weight, rake, trail? I don't know.

What is "turn in"?
RE: 2017 Moto Guzzi V7iii - ClassicVW_imp - 02-14-2017
When making a turn or taking a long sweeping highway exit, the bike forcefully tried to keep turning more and more. Mine took A LOT of effort to keep it from turning more. There was never anything like a 'gentle turn', it was always a fight every time, everywhere. Very unsettling and dangerous especially after a long riding day when I was a bit tired. A fight until I got in the garage.

I had that "problem" when I put Road Pilot 3's on the CB. I'm used to it now.

I have owned a MG V7 Classic since 2009. I have never experienced any of the handling problems detailed here. The original OEM Metzelers were crap. Replacing them with Pirellis made a huge difference.
If anything the MG handling is a little slow compared to my BMW and Honda.

The V7III should be at the U.S. dealerships next week (according to my local dealers here in So. Cal).
It has a slightly different rake angle and a couple other small geometric differences that could change the steering. Not sure what tire could improve the turn-in issue. I think they come with Pirelli Demons, which have grip, but not son good on longevity.
Also a couple more hp.

Looking forward to the revised V9 Roamer (pegs set farther back and different seat)

In addition to the blue, Guzzi is now showing a V7 iii Special in black with a green stripe. I really like it!

Just went to their website. The new California touring with bags and Trunk looks great as does the Norge Touring with trunk in the video

I'll have to look. I don't do long rides and not really interested in a bug screen but covering the instrument cluster soul be pretty clean.
Nice looking bikes.
