Here's the dyno chart on their "muffled drag" exhaust, showing 55 hp and 50 ft-lbs of torque. I believe stock dynos at about 48 hp and 43 ft-lbs. If that's right, not bad at all, esp with the 20 lbs cut from stock exhaust.https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/v7-iii-gtm-muffled-drags.21387/
Thanks - that's a great data point for the OPCouple of thoughts on it.* Definitely not for me - too loud and I'm not even sure I'm a fan of the look* I am NOT saying I don't believe the numbers, they certainly seem realistic for a full exhaust and tune. However, I would enjoy seeing it from a source other than who is selling it if you know what I mean.* Let's assume the number are accurate. They MIGHT be enough to make the OP happier, that's on him. I will point out that his original point of reference was a Ducati Scrambler which is similar in size and power to our 696. For comparison that means the OP's V7III is still a good at least 60# heavier than a Scrambler (or our Monster) and even with this gain would still be down a good 13 hp give or take (they tend to dyno around 68 hp). Though this would have a slight torque advantage over it and might indeed have a very pleasant powerband.Which brings me back to - great data point for the OP - thanks for posting!
I have a 2021 Stone. My previous bike was a 2018 Ducati Scrambler Street Classic. The new E5’s are the first V7 I could live with, power-wise and they have 15hp more than the 2018 version. The Duc Scramblers weigh 70lbs less ready to ride than a V7 and they have 25hp more than a V7III and 10 more than a 2021 V7. The math says you will never, ever replicate the performance on your past bike with your current bike. A Scrambler is a nervous, almost alive thing that rides like a mountain bike with 75hp. Everything is instantaneous while riding one. They’re wonderful to ride…for an hour. The Guzzi is also wonderful to ride except it goes differently down the road and you can ride it all day and the next day too. Trying to turn the Guzzi into something it isn’t will only leave you further disappointed. You could easily make a few mortgage payments for Todd Eagen and get a whopping 5hp in return if you like but it’ll still have the power to weight ratio of a mid 70’s Japanese 350cc. My advice is to take the Guzzi for 4 or 5 all day rides. Not an hour or an afternoon…ride it all day. Put 250-300 miles on it in a day. I know it sounds ridiculous but a lot of people need to ride a Guzzi for a thousand miles to “get it”. Some folks never do and that’s ok. We all like different stuff. If it’s not your thing you can sell or trade it for something else.
Tops out out pretty early at 85mph. I wish my new V85TT was as strong.
I think some of you guys are right. You can’t get the appeal of a Guzzi in a 30 mile run. But if you ride days and days, and thousands of miles, the appeal becomes apparent. Kinda strange really.
