Nice, sunny, crisp pics of the riding folks in the Alps. Who is the dude in the full-face helmet? 
My V7 experience was slightly different. I do recall your experience into the turns, but I guess I adapted well enough. What I recall most was the essence of running out of steam too quickly and this was on rolling back roads, so maybe 60 mph. I do understand power is limited to sub-50 hp for the earlier models, but I have ridden lesser bikes with more get-up and go. I really liked the bike, tons of character, but had wring it more than expected. It could also be me: I am likely too tall for the V7, and sometimes I think for the CB. But the CB rides much differently for sure.
