 :1: to OP, because that's the one I have and the orange was a big help in getting my wife's....well, not approval, but at least not enough disapproval to keep me from pulling the trigger on it.  She's crazy about orange!  So within 6 months I bought a 2013 Stelvio NTX.  But honey, it's orange! :rolleyes:
I intend to live forever.  So far, so good....

I like the black/orange a nd the white Cafe Classic. I've just had the metal tank for the V7C painted, have only seen the photo so far, but it's looking good.

I'm partial to the silver/grey on the Special. But I may be a little bit biased.

edit: I am 100% confused as to how the word "lay" got in there after "Special". So I removed it.

That's OK - this is a 100% totally biased thread. :wink:

Really nothing can beat the white paint job on the 2013 V7.  I'm just reporting the objective, scientific facts.

I think this is the best I have seen. There is one for sale at the local dealership, 2015 model, brand new, clearing out for under $8K CDN. less than $6K US. Pretty cheap for a brand new bike with warranty!

Thanks for post this photo because I was going to get a set of aftermarket shocks with red springs. The red spring look really out of the place on this bike.

BTW I agree this is the best paint job, too bad they don't have for 2016 Stone, I also think matte finish is better in person.

I thought I recognized it with those rim decals & rear rack!
I miss it as it was a damn good looking bike and so easy to get along with
Going to Florida next week until mid July and when I get back I'm going to be listing my KTM 690 Enduro for sale and a Guzzi Stornello Scrambler is on my short list once the KTM goes.

Yes, pic was taken the weekend that I picked it up from him.

So far, it is treating me well.  Currently it is back at Cam's place, as he picked up a drywall screw in his back tire while riding with me here in PA this past weekend.

All very nice looking bikes, but the original is still hard to beat.

I assume you're talking NEW V7 Stornello, not the original?  I've seen a couple of the new ones, and they are exceptionally nice!
