Just got it firing!
Hello everyone!
I'm planning a rtw trip in 2020, and I'm seriously considering a v7.
I currently own a triumph bonneville and I love that bike, but I love my friends V7 more.
I'll probably need to modify it a little bit, mostly the suspension and I had some question's I bothered Todd about, and he referred me here.
I might have alot of questions..
For the front fork I will be using a modified and shortened DRZ400 fork. This is an excellent fork that can be tuned very well.
I'm wondering what the maximum angle is at which the shaft will run reliably?
What weight can be saved in the v7? Just the exhaust?
What is the actual weight of a wet, full tank v7I, V7II or V7III? I'm finding various numbers around..Some claim 179kg, which sounds just perfect, but I'm not sure if that's correct?
Speaking of which, which v7 is the better one? I always liked the V7II because of the slightly tilted engine and I suppose the ABS. Is the V7I not as good? I seem to recall MG going from dual carbs to dual TB's and then to a single TB? Maybe a Breva 750 is even better?
Thanks in advance.
Oh yes, I did see the V85, but that's not my cup of tea. The hammarhead V7 is more a look that tickles my fancy!
