New 2022 V7 Special

(1/4) > >>

I have a chance to sell my 2021 Heritage Classic, so at 70 years old I am going to a smaller, lighter bike. Top on my list is a new V7 Special. The closest dealer is 200 miles away, and that has kept me away from Guzzi since I sold my 2013 V7 a few years back. I no longer do long bike trips, but need to set it up for overnighters by myself. So any suggestions on a bigger wind screen and paniers? Something that fits the bike, I am willing to pay to get the good stuff.

Givi A34 screen, Chase Harper tankbag and soft bags and MG rack. If hard bags are desired consider Hepco Becker (rack, side racks and bags)

I have 650 miles on my new 2021 V7 Special. I definitely recommend it. Smoothest Guzzi motor and gearbox I’ve ever had.Cortech bags and rear top bag. Guzzi center stand . Guzzi windshield. Looks good and protects the chest from wind but does not shield the head. For around town or 200 mile day trips , it is fine. For 500+ mile day rides, you may want the taller Givi. It is a sweet bike and don’t think you will be disappointed.

Jack,

I bought my v7 850 special several months ago for the same reason you are considering buying one. It is light, nimble, and comfortable for my old body. I bought Guzzi center stand and rear rack, H&B side cases, put a givi monolock top case on the rack. I did buy a Guzzi windscreen, but it doesn't protect well at highway speed. I replaced the screen with a Givi A34 screen with an Xcreen on top: much better protection, but still more wind noise than I like.
