Well, I picked up my new V7C monday morning. I have about 200 miles on it now. This bike is so much fun to ride . I really like the engine's broad power band. It takes the bike right up to highway speeds without having to rev the engine during break in. Plenty of torque to allow short shifting. To me the gear ratios" are perfect. The gearbox doesn't have to be kept busy to allow the engine to feel comfortable. The ratios' seem to be be very well matched to the torque curve of the engine. The shaft drive is so smooth it is basically seamless in my opinion. The light weight and low center of gravity make the bike very easy to ride and move around in the garage and parking lot for "older short folks " like me. :lol: I decided on the pearl white as opposed to jet black. It just rang my chimes I guess. That worked out well because my dealer couldn't find a black one anyway. This bike is just so much fun to ride and has so much personality that I really hate tucking it away for the night. So far I have had 3 people ask me how I was able to restore the bike to such perfection. It was so tempting to just go along with that opportunity and run with it. But, I behaved for a change.1st guzzi said:Hello Max took mine in for 1st. service 6-7-10 and hope to pick her up Thurday. Good luck and enjoy.
Glad you are getting so many miles on your V7C. What brand of risers did you install and did you have any problems rerouting the cables? A one inch rise is about what I need to take some of the pressure off me old joints. :huh: I'm ordering the sump next week. maxoldmanjob said:I now have 5300 miles on my V7C, and I try to get some sort of a ride in everyday Just put Todd's sump extender on and a set of 1 inch bar risers, which have made my riding position much more comfortable to the point I hate to come home :woohoo: Have removed the charcoal canister, and the Stucchi cross over pipe goes on this week
