Fence Sitter no Longer!

The V7 is an excellent bike and I'm sure it would have given you a lot of grins. It was on my short list too, but with my inseam, the CB1100 was a better fit. I already had a MG Griso so a little diversity in the fleet was something to go for too. The V7 (or the new V9) would make a great second bike if that is something you could do.

And if you had bought the V7, after checking out the CB1100 and posted on the Guzzi thread; I'd give you the same answer. A lot of nice bikes out there, makes it hard to narrow it down.

Right! Except my second is a KLR650 and my third is a Yamaha xs650 and my fourth...well it WAS a little Honda CGL125 that I just sold in Costa Rica:

But really, I don't need 3-4 bikes, so the xs650 is for sale too, or will be soon once the weather gets better, oh, in about 2-3 years or whenever someone offers me enough. ; ) so it will be down to the KLR650 and the CB soon.

So true about hard to narrow down. When I bought my KLR650 it was the only bike of its type I was interested in, although now I would look hard at a dr650 or xl650 if I were buying that genre. Still, it was very fun comparing the bikes this time around and now I can have my late evenings back for sleeping instead of pouring over the different mc sites online.
