I love guzzi, have owned a couple since 2000. And done 200,000km on a griso.  They are a brand that has quirks, but they seem to take your heart ❤️ and it's hard to stop loving.

Unbelievable air cooled engine I ride the 850 stone through all mexico 4000 plus kilometers with temperature outside of 43C the bike between traffic inside cities and highway didn't overheating at all well done guzzi

Bought a VII 50 2nd hand in the 80s as a kiwi on my OE in London. Didn't even know what it was. It was mint and on my test ride I fell in love. Thought it was punchy (biggest bike at home after graduating from my Honda SL100 to a Suzuki TS250 (best bike in the world) and cool and different. Rode it all around England and Wales and to work every day for a year...and then put a carrier on the back onto which I strapped an old backpack into which i placed a pup tent, a sleeping bag, and a sleep mat, some undies, maybe socks, and some wet weather gear from a farming shop. Rode it across Europe to Israel (yes a ferry was included in that trip). Adventure (one of) of a lifetime. Loved the brand ever since. Still think they're handsome. You can do anything on any bike really. Its up to you and your schedule how far in a day, and what roads you like. I like B roads averaging 70 to 80 kms. You can go a loooooong way in a short time. Ride safe all.

My last bike was a Triumph T120, which had more hp, and was smoother. But, I enjoy my V7 more, I guess because it has more character. Also, love the shaft drive and larger fuel capacity.

We had the V50 in the 80's, these are very similar , lovely machines, understated and excellent value for money.

The 750 feels like it’s an early 70’s BMW and the 850 feels like a late 80’s Ducati.

Started riding bikes 2 years ago. Test rode several things. People said “you’ll know when it’s the bike for you, it will speak to you.” Nothing else spoke to me like the Guzzi V7 850. It’s been an awesome 2 years on that bike. I grabbed a Himalayan last year as bike number 2. I love both brands so much. Cheers from the USA!

01:42, check the writen cc, swapped numbers.

I have an 850 special and love it 🥰

I have had and loved both the 750, and the 850 V7.  If I had a 750 and just did local mixed riding, I would not have spent the extra money to upgrade.  But, I have to do a lot of motorway miles, so the extra power is very useful.  I have put 11K miles on my 2022 V7 850 Special and really love the bike.  Adding a factory screen and luggage rack, with Oxford heated grips, it makes a really comfortable touring bike too.  My wife finds it comfortable riding pillion, too.

My son bought a V7 when they first came out with the 850 upgraded model.  I do enjoy riding the bike.  It is an amazingly simple machine with just the right amount of modern technology to give the rider a classic riding experience while adding in sufficient conveniences.  The pushrod air cooled V-twin is a lovely motor and the shaft drive works great and eliminates chain maintenance.  The suspension is smooth and compliant, just right for this motorcycle.  I ride a Harley Road King so for me the riding position is a bit too leaned forward but I could get used to it.  This bike could easily be used for commuting or longer distance travel.  .  I tried the Moto Guzzi V85tt which uses a slightly more powerful version of the same engine in an adventure bike frame.  I preferred the more upright riding position but the higher seat can be a challenge.  Nice review of both the 750 and 850.  Both are nice bikes and either would be a nice ride to own.  For me I would definitely buy the 850.

Thanks for this! .It has been an ongoing question for me since V7 and I  met. Favourite bike of mine.
I bought a 750 new in 2020 ,put 16000 miles on it and loved everyone of them. Test drove the 850 when it came out and there was not enough there to make me betray my baby and replace her. Early 850`s had glitchy fueling with the Euro 5 coming in, and I just loved the raw feel of the 750.
2023 and someone stole my baby... it still hurts.
So I bought an 850. Plusher seat but it is  wider ,fueling improved over early model 850 but still needs work (upmap).
Definitely a different feel .

If I had not had my 750 nicked we would still be an item, but I have to concede the 850 is the better bike if you like covering miles and A roads and motorways are in your route, armchair seat better here too. Lighter clutch too.
For those who bemoaned the weight increase of the 850 ,it is not empty,futile , porkiness but braced up frame and huge new swing arm that give noticeable handling improvements.
750 I miss you and wonder where you are ,850 I love you too and know where you are... tracker ,Lite lock, shackles , guard dog.

Great review! The Moto Guzzi V7 is a classic looking motorcycle. Both the 750 and 850 are great looking. The 850 is the way to go if you like long rides. Both bikes fit you perfect and it looked like you had a blast in Tenerife! Thanks for the wonderful relaxing video!
Ride SAFE and BE safe Lady! 👍👍

This has been on my mind for a while. Even more so regarding the 2008-2014 750 models.

Moto Guzzi is a beautiful bike with nostalgic charm ❤❤❤❤
Just fire up the engine and ride 🏍️

The tomboy makes a pretty good video… good topic, good dialogue, good b-roll… well done!

I’m a year late but this video finally came up on my feed.  Two years ago I bought a lightly used 2014 V7 Stone.  At the time I didn’t consider a new 850 but in retrospect getting the newer V7 would have been a solid choice.  I have thought a couple times about trading in the 750 for a new 850 - especially when the significant cost savings of a year old 850 is available.  But nonetheless I still have the 750.

I’ve made the 750 perfect for me… Corbin seat, Givi windscreen, moved the handlebars back - very comfortable ride.  I like the older V7 wheels and the center location of the gages.  The big gas tank and relative light weight with shaft drive are hard to beat for local mountain rides.

I’m subscribing because the tomboy has great taste in motorcycles:)))

My favourite bikes!

perfect vlog as ever take care

750 is far more good looking than the 850, epscially the limited editions with spike wheels

Great video and style of creation. My recognition.
