Thanks. That is a great looking bike! Your review makes me comfortable with my decision to buy a leftover V7II vs. waiting n a new III, as it sounds like the differences are minor.But what I really want to know is what is that windshield and how do you like it? I have tried a few things, but haven't found a solution for touring. I either get too much wind pressure on my head/chest or too much buffeting.
I'm also impressed by all the folks on this forum who have extensive experience with all sorts of bikes, including those with much higher performance parameters, who still rave about their V7s.
It's way more than the spec sheet. I do own and enjoy a few more powerful bikes (see list below) with better handling and brakes, etc, and have ridden some properly fast bikes such as the Motus, DucatiDiavel,BMW XR1000, BMW S1000R, Suzuki GSXS1000R.The V7 is a competent street machine that has character, style and class. It yields more smiles per mile than many more powerful machines. I can have more fun on the V7 on public roads than I can on any of the 4-cylinder liter bikes on the list above. On those machines, my reaction was, "Nothing good would come of it."
I get it. I traded in my Diavel and BMW K1200GT for my California. I just wasn�t using their capabilities (particularly the Diavel, which was unhappy at anything below 4000 rpm).
I hope this would not be hi-jacking a thread by inserting my question.....if it is I apologize.
Yep. I bought a 2016 Triumph Street Triple Rx with the extra wonderful suspension and super duper modern engine, big modern radial tires, dual front disk brakes, etc. This is a bike that fans of modern technological improvements rave about. It leaves me a bit cold. I vastly prefer to ride the little small block. Will probably sell the Triumph. Newer is not necessarily better, except maybe on paper.
On another note I pulled mine out of the garage yesterday with the new radial on the rear (now tubeless)
The first thing I noticed about my V7III Special (compared with my Bassa and Jackal, about 110k mi combined) is that it is quiet. The silencers do look a little big, but at this point, I’m not inclined to upgrade them.
Glad it arrived safely.Hi Kevin!
