V9 vs V7 III Special vs T120

J. Hughes said:
Thanks All,

I ended up getting the V7III Stone, since my dealer sold the special. I took delivery about a week ago and love the bike. The Triumph was great too but I couldn't get past the feel of the Guzzi. I appreciate all the input!

This made me chuckle.
I was on the Victory forum & somebody (for once not me) brought up Guzzi's.
A poster responded by saying he hated Guzzi's because the two he had rode 10~15 years ago "felt weird".
When the 1400 came out he did a test ride & said it felt like everything he did was wrong couldn't wait to get off it.
You either speak Italian or you don't.

You would not be the only Victory guy opineing the glory's of Guzzi. I had an Octane and a Guzzi side by each. I would speak fondly of the Guzzi. I do love me an Italian.

Yea, there's nothing quite like a Latin love affair with a Latin lovely.
Apart from a whole raft of Jap stuff, 3 Ducatis, 2 Benellis, 1 Laverda and 1 MV Agusta so far, and my 1st Gutz should be here late next week - at looooooooong bloody last!
 
Seems quite odd, but reminiscing about my old bikes, I really loved (and the only one of 36 bikes that I kept for 10 years) my 1969 Ducati 450 Mk3D, and 2 Harley (Aermacchi) 125 Rapidos. There is something about the Italians.

Yes, I think my 450 Duc was later than that - the very last model with a single disc up front. That's the one I should never have sold. I have no wishes to revisit the 900SS (original model) or the MV, however, the Benelli Sei 750 was hands down the best handling bike I ever placed my ample arse on. The Lav (750SF) was nice too. If I could see that bike next to the 450 in my shed I'd be a happy man. The only other one I'd really like to have back was my Yamaha RD350LC - again, the original model.
