Hello To All
I'm currently contemplating between buying a V7 or a V7II. the problem's are as follows.
first i noticed that from the first modern V7 up to the current V7III it seems that the seat height's were getting lower. I'm not a very tall guy (31 inch inseam)and the dealer ( Which we have only one) doesn't have and V7's in stock. I'm not in the intent to buy new as here they cost a lot but i'm finding good deals on old V7 and just a bit out of my budget for a good V7ii.
What i'm worried about is that to my eye it seems that these guzzi's have a bit of a wide seat, so with my 31 inch inseam i wont get both my feet on the ground on the older ones but maybe on the version II, but still I'm not sure. I had a look on several review's and the seat height's tend not to agree with each other, i don't also know if the seat height dimensions listed are laden or un-laden. according to the website: cycle-ergo.com I should be ok but how much is accurate I don't really know.
the other factor that is putting me a bit off from a V7 is the lack of ABS, I'm not a new rider but I'm not a pro either, my current bike is a CRF250L which it doesn't have ABS But it's also lighter at 145kg, so it's manageable even with it's current 33 inch seat height, so it's seems i dont have any other choice other that the V7II.
I would like to get advice from you guys and maybe if someone here have my same inseam and currently have a V7 please chime in a tell me your thoughts about it, is the seat really that wide? am i worrying too much? please help.
Kind Regards
Daniel Cardona
