On-line parts fiche shows USA spec fuel tanks for V7 Cafe in yellow.
Looks like it's on the way.
No Bellagio, 1200 Sport 8V or Stelvio NTX, yet.

I take this as a positive that they plan to continue production, and continue to import to the US.
This info was not shown 2 weeks ago when I last checked.


Edit-- Yellow only, no white.
 
Great news TxTodd. So that means, they'll arrive on the shores of Houston, perhaps any day now, then go to Atlanta to get delivered to everyone else first, eh?

Bummer on the Bellagio and NTX still though.

I think they call it Avocado Green. Not up on my list of colors I would put on a "Cafe Racer" but its nothing some sandpaper and a few cans of flat black couldn't rectify in a afternoon.

It looks like it will be directly competing (price wise) with the Thruxton but I don't see that is comparable performance wise. Guess I will have to ride one at Mid-Ohio to find out really how it feels but I think I will be slightly disappointed by the looks of the engine specs.
 
Other pics I've seen show it to be what looks to me like Guzzi Racing Green. Not everyone's favourite colour, but fortunately nor is flat-black. An otherwise sensible riding mate bougt a flat-black V-Strom. What a bad joke that proved to be because it's impossible to keep looking even reasonably clean. Truthfully I can't remember when I last cleaned my Red Guzzi using more than a hosing. Funny thing is that even the black engine looks OK. The paint used must have a dirt-repelling quality - or is it just the silicone I sprayed on when it was new?

Anyway the V7 Cafe is a cute looking bike. Not as appealing as the older V11 Sport Naked, but still far from bad.
 
Todd H. If you were to make an arrival prediction... Would it be late in this year or next year due to the factory being shut down and future production location still up in the air ? Of course I love the green and it`s heredity. Bill R.
