The 1100 got a new friend or Deb goes Retro

[hondahoarder_imp]

Most of you know we collect old Honda's and Deb's love of the CX500 genre, this has had her wanting a real Moto Guzzi for awhile and when the new 2014 V7 Special came out she had to have it. So meet the newest member of the family. She's a beauty!

Wow when you say welcome home you really mean it.

Did Deb keep the Bolt or trade it in?

Congrats, beautiful motorcycle.

Nice!

I know I don't know y'all, ....but somehow the Moto Guzzi by the fireplace doesn't seem out of place.

 

[the Ferret]

You know Rboe is going to become your new best friend right ? :rofl:

Where did the Virago come from? Never seen that in your garage before.

 

[hondahoarder_imp]

We see them as art as well as rides LOL

Wow! Great looking Guzzi!! (The rest of yer heard looks mighty fine too!) I'm kinda partial to that California 1400 Custom, myself.

 

[hondahoarder_imp]

Yep agreed, left there picking her's up and lusting after the white California Tourer for myself.

Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!

 

[Guth_imp]

To my eye, the V7 Special is by far the best looking bike the Moto Guzzi makes. Nicely done! That white California Tourer is also probably one of the most attractive bikes in its class.

[Cormanus]

Okay, I'm moving into YOUR house!!! Awesome.


And yeah, if my wife ever complains about my four bikes (in the garage), I'm showing her these pictures!

 

[hondahoarder_imp]

Thanks Guth!

Pleased to have a woman that is as obsessed as I am, although it makes it so there is no filter on judgment over passion. The kids say we need an intervention LOL

We picked that up just before it got cold 1995 1100, Virago was Deb's 1st street bike.

There aren't too many Guzzi's that i don't like the look of, be it a V11, California Police, or V7. I was leaning to the V7 but have no closer that a 1.5 hr drive away and had heard they might be a bit small for me (230lb 6") so was happy to find the Honda. The exhaust note of the v twin is sweet though. I have seen video of a 2014 V7 special in grey with matching panniers and the leather accent on the top of the tank similar to the V7 racer. That is one hell of a pretty bike. Congrats to your wife on a great bike purchase and happy riding.

 

[hondahoarder_imp]

Thanks she loved it as do I but would be to small for me as a daily rider.

Oh man, now you did it. That V7 is a very nice bike. Tad small for me but I keep thinking about trading in the Griso on one. Or the 1400. That is one heck of a touring bike.

But the thing with Guzzi's, once you start riding them it's tough to get them out of your blood.

 

[hondahoarder_imp]

Haa so I'm told..we already have self control issues LOL
