Beautiful Other Bikes! Stock

[tod.branko_imp]

I know we all have a soft spot for air-cooled classically styled bikes, so I wanted to share this, it was just today teased on MGs instagram with a caption "the legend continues, stay tuned"

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!

Oh Boy, I love it!!! That 10 extra hp is exactly what the V7 needs!!

(although I am still waiting for a new Guzzi road bike that can replace my aging Griso... )

(although I am still waiting for a new Guzzi road bike that can replace my aging Griso... ) There is a solution to your problem. Contact Guzzitech, send them your Grid so and they'll build you a GTM. 1400cc 140+hp naked piece of air-cooled art on wheels

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.

@pb, they sell new for about 8-9k in Europe, certainly cheaper in the U.S. It's a 2021 model, just unveiled, expect to see it in showrooms probably in a few months. Both the new V7 Special and V7 stone are now 850cc. I suspect they wanted to make it more competitive with the likes of Triumph Street Twin. I don't know if it means the death of the 750, but it's possible that euro5 requirements are too high for it

Reduced from 79 hp to 63? Why?

What a shame. Good looking bike.

For the life of me I don't understand why the detuning, 79hp would work really well in that chassis.

And no, we are not swapping CB1100 for the GTMs, at least I'm not
