Last Saturday I and a bud took a tootle over to Orange Co. Cycle to check out the Guzzi and see if I wanted to become a Guzzista. I rode the blue and white V7, with the chrome pipes. The bike is absolutely gorgeous, with a great dash, beautiful chrome work, and rich paint. However, I was not impressed with it. It was kind of slow and clunky, with a difficult-to-shift tranny, but that might just need the shifter adjusted, but as I was riding it in an industrial park on a weekend, it kept bouncing off the rev limiter and then it started missing and stalling. I had to restart it several times so I started heading back to the dealer and then it stalled and failed to start, so I just coasted it into their parking lot. I have to say I like my CB a lot better. My bud has a Stelvio 1200 that he loves, but I have not ridden it.
