Heh, heh...it has never happened in my moto life to test ride a motorcycle before buying*...I just have an internal feeling/intuitions and sniffed out that it will be a good lump for me, and I have never been disappointed....identical story with both CBs*
* '13 CB was bought in January when -20*C/-4*F and snowing, '14 one was tested but it was just formality as I already had my '13...and with the red DLX, I was in such a hurry that I never check anything, including documents, VIN...etc, just relaying on forum member/Alain Lee opinion and talking/texting to the previous DLX owner.
I already know and accepted that V7 is a totally different animal then CB.

Spring, please come sooner this year 
You'll definitely want to test ride a V7 before putting down the stash.
Booking opportunities should be good right now. Roads are dry and nobody is riding with -30C windchill [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB. You should have the V7 for one to two hours all to yourself.
This is good thinking GO...Wednesday will be around 0*C
Tomorrow, I may go to a different dealer, as I want to check out tubeless spoked wheels and different color forks...if these fit V7 Special from a different Guzzi model????... and how much 
That would be a very cool excursion.
Ensure to check back in with the CB1100 Forum with a full report on what's happening with the 2022 Moto Guzzi V7*. Itchin' folks may wish to know.
Warning: Don't look at other Guzzis while there.

Yesterday, I sent a request to Guzzi Canada about the blue, 2022 V7 Special arrival...no words yet..
That sounds like a Mothership Piaggio customer service problem.
Hmm, same as back 12 years ago?

I’m surprised Piaggio NA didn’t import blue ones to Canada. We have ‘em down here

(+1) Totally agree.
In Vaughan, ON go to Corsa Mec and be really friendly to them.
Just for your information (in case you were not aware): Corsa Meccanica is no longer an official Piaggio dealer.
Having said that; they have always been extremely helpful to me whenever I needed them for parts.

The blue ones are in Canada as well. At least in Vancouver: [url=https://www.internationalmotorsports.com/inventory/2021-moto-guzzi-v7-special-850-vancouver-bc-v5y-1c8-11024309i]link.

Thanks for that info, I was told that the blue one has not arrived yet, as this is '22 model...hmm 
Going to Corsa Meccanica tomorrow!...but I already check their stock and only the 2020 models ...and haven't replied to my email since Saturday...

Ah, good to know - and very smart of them. In that case, a true Moto Guzzi dealer.
Thanks bioman.

So [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB, any update today?
Did you manage a morning test demo ride? (any model year V7 will do)

Just came back from Corsa Mecc....as Bioman said, they dropped dealership a year ago, so 2020 is the newest they have.
Very sad look inside, showroom has dim lights despite nice bikes sitting inside...no traffic at all. A beautiful white California, with lots of chrome..but not what I want.
A guy inside was nice, so I just wandered around for 5 min a left.......do Guelph.
More to come
