Well folks, my dealer here in West Chester, PA is finally getting some V100s. Motoplex West Chester is having an open house mid-March to introduce the bikes. Likely I will ride my V7 Special in, and see if I can get some impressions. Apparently all their Tenni Green ones are spoken for. If I get really interested, I will be scouring this forum section for opinions and advice. Is the higher end model worth the extra bucks? I am not too tall, can I handle the bike geometry? Anyway, I am thrilled to see Guzzi build this bike. Grazie
