Named "V7 special" It seems to be a V85TT motor in a V7 chassis, and from what I know about V85TT - that power is just right for this new setup, wonder why haven't they done it before! I, for one, love it!

Yeah, agreed. I really like the looks of that machine. Hmm, ... grunt, snort.
Still only 52 hp?

Still only 52 hp? Well no, the 850cc mill in the V85TT hits 79hp, however from the information I found, this one has been tuned down to 63hp for whatever reason, although an extra 100cc will give a little more torque to an already grunty powerplant

Hi tod,
heck, this is indeed a beautiful bike. Is this a model one can find in a shop these days ? in which country, would you know ? I see V7 Special/s on the market, but not one looks like this photo, not one has more than 52 HP.
I also noticed that this bike really looks great in this color, while the more often seen green or blue are a little less attractive (my opinion).
Thanks for sharing !
@pb, they sell new for about 8-9k in Europe, certainly cheaper in the U.S.
