That being said at 6 foot in my socks I'm at the high end of what will fit comfortably on the MGV7R. Lots of folks consider the Guzzi V7 a small bike from the git-go. I'd be real interested to hear your take on the fit of the Thruxton after you ride it.Yep. I had a V7 Cafe Classic for a few months and found it too cramped for the type of riding I enjoy. Its cafe seat and low bars were similar to your V7R, but it had mid-mount pegs, not rear-sets, so I was really folded up on it. I replaced it with a standard V7 Classic, which fit me better. The V7C was ultimately replaced with the CB1100, which is better yet. We'll see if/how the Thruxton fits and go from there.
