I just had my 600 mile (1000 km) service and thought I would take this opportunity to write a review of my 2014 Moto Guzzi V7 Racer to date but with a twist... it's from Bella's perspective. Bear with me... ;-)
For those of you not interested in clicking on the above link to my blog, the experience has been wonderful! Allow me to simplify the experience:

Cons:
  • Gear Shifter Broke (lol) - Easily fixed with new screw.
  • Fork nut on top left hand side leaked slightly.
Pros:
  • EVERYTHING. What an amazing machine!
  • Amazing Dealer! Rock Moto Sport in Sherbrooke, Quebec does brilliant service and work. I also only paid $278 for the 600 mile service and that was in Canadian dollars! :)
I am NEVER selling this bike!

Very nice read.
 
Thanks for the favorable words. Too often people focus (me included) on the negatives and neglect all that is well in the world. Many people get a car and don't notice the flaws unless the car won't go or stop. We just don't get all that wrapped up in our 4 wheel daily drivers, a 65 GTO would certainly be different. We are much more intimate with our 2 wheelers and I think all of tend to border on OCD when it comes to motorcycle perfection. We also tend to have more mechanical inclination and talk about what we work on and not what we didn't work on. You won't find many threads where people talk about the fun or trouble they had with what didn't need maintenance or repair/replacement. I suppose there must be someone who said........Hey guys, there seems to be absolutely nothing wrong with my Guzzi, should I be worried?
