Forget the specs on paper, it is the real life experience that matters. You don't have to disassemble the bike for a valve service. Hand built bikes in small series so we who own a Moto Guzzi are the lucky ones. The bike grow on you and I can just sit and look at it, a true piece of Italian art.

I have over 55 years of motorcycling behind me. As far as Italian bikes, I have owned a ducati 860, moto morini 500 camel, laverda 3cl 1000, cagiva 650, and currently have a 1989 Moto Guzzi Mille GT 1000 and a 2013 Moto Guzzi Stone 750. Have owned several German bikes to include BMW and Zundapps. Grew up with British bikes-meaning Triumph and BSA. Have never been interested in Harley. Owned several Suzuki's to include 2-stroke models and the Wankel rotary 500 as well as a Kawasaki 1000. The Moto Guzzis have been my favorite above all the rest. Quirky, reliable, tractor-like in that the Japanese "refinement" is not there. But if you love just being connected to machinery and sound, then Moto Guzzi!- By the way, because it is shaft driven and a new bike it takes some miles to break in the transmission as well as for the brakes to seat well--be patient--mike

I never will ride with a group of people I don't know ever again.  BUT I sure do like that bike.

Of the bikes in my garage, my 21 V7 Stone is my favorite.  It just feels like a motorcycle.  Guzzi’s are “Smiles for Miles.”

V7 Sport is an amazing bike and one of my favorites in my garage

Very nice bike! Good job, Moto Guzzi!

I have an older v7 III and i lovie it done, a lot of mods exhaust swap is a must on them and strtangę older one have hevy clutch.

Nice review. I own a '26 Special, my 4th Guzzi. They are very addicting. The shift notification is set low on new bikes, once broken in it can be raised. Guzzi engines are over square and like to rev. I owned a T120 Bonneville in the recent past. I find that the power is very comparable in spite of the specs being quite a bit different.

“It yells at ya…shift me damn it” if it doesn’t scream is not Italian

It would be a perfect bike if pillion were possible, but it is too small a seat. And well, reliability is sometimes... So the T120 is a better choice. But I would love that engine and shaft drive to never touch a chain again.

Not putting twin traditional gauges on it is a major fail. Bar end mirrors to - I find them harder to see behind (have to move my head slightly) and they catch on things moving the bike around.

This guy on the center line…

I have never liked riding in a group.

Maybe you could tie your shoes
