No... where?Anyone notice the stock passenger pegs on the racer?
The V7 II is largely the same as all of the previous years (back to '13) outside of ABS/TC and the new 6-spd gear box, though '16 supposedly brought new engine revisions with the rotated in frame engine. I don't expect to see any parts availability issues for quite some time. Most of the wear/tear items are the same as the oldest of small blocks.I'm looking to buy my first V7, and I really want the ABS. That's means I need to decide between the II and the new III. I can save some money going with the II, but I have reservations about investing in a model that lasted only a year (e.g., will parts availability become an issue?). Granted, MG could do the same thing with the III and replace it within a year or two, but that seems unlikely. Should I get over it and take the II, or pay more for the III?
Thanks, I hadn't. Can't wait to see the price on those... which includes the hanger bracket itself as well. It is different than the stock one shown.From the Moto Guzzi website.

44 pounds heavier!!!
How! they took off the tach and added double wall exhaust pipes.
Are the new heads heavier?

Yes, the numbers are all over the place. I just looked at the Owners Manual, PDF version, for the V7II:Actually I think that's an error. The 1TB V7 (Mki?) was around 450# wet and not near 417# (unless that's dry) so I'm guessing the Mkii spec given above is DRY weight.
EDIT-Yeah looking at Google a lot of reviews just parrot whatever the factory listed for weight and I think they got it wrong based on my recollection of the measured weight of the Mki and this motorcycle.com article that claims the Mkii MEASURED wet weight was 454# with specifically 35# of fuel:

So it looks like 454# vs 461# or the extra steel on the MKiii makes it only 7# heavier.
