In this issue of BIKE magazine out of the U.K. they test the V7 II Stornello against the BMW R nineT Scrambler, Triumph Street Twin Scrambler and the Ducati Scrambler. Much to my amazement they say they all preferred the Guzzi. Finishing order was Guzzi, BMW, Triumph, Ducati. The Guzzi was neck and neck with the 900cc Triumph in speed with the Guzzi being the only one that made it down a 3 mile trail of gravel mud and axle deep puddles. They did comment on past quality problems but figure this one will be better. At the end they say they would buy the Stone for £1500 less but just as good.
I tried to find any part of the article online but no go. I found a rather poor YouTube video they posted but that is it.
