Final Tour on the Breva750

<< < (2/3) > >>

Scott Carpenter:
Very true DG, but I want to stick with Guzzi and at the same time get a new bike to last a good 10 years, and the Mandello is just a bit too big for me at 5'3", and the Stelvio is waaay too big. I have not had a test ride on the V7 yet and will form an opinion based on that.

At 5'8"and low '60s, I'm not the most comfortable with my V7III and the Breva is noticeably easier to manhandle. At 5'4" my missus can manage to ride both bikes, though I reckon she'd struggle a bit moving them around.

Scott Carpenter:
Well, I had the test ride and took delivery today of a new green V7 850 Sport. Yes it is harder to push around, but manageable. I'm not and never have been a paddling person - If I have to move it by human power I'll get off.

DoubleGuzzi:
Have you sold/traded-in your Breva? Just curious, as there's a few for sale.

Dude it's the weight difference of a small child.  :rolleyes:

Some years back, on Father's Day, I decided I wanted to ride every bike in the fleet.

So I took out the Duc for an hour.

Then I took out the Carbon Dark for an hour.

Then I took it out the Road King for an hour.

Then I rolled into the garage, hopped off the King and threw myself onto the V7 Stone with the same fervent enthusiasm knocking my left thigh against the bike in the same way I stand up the King, using my body not just my arms.

I almost slammed the Guzzi down on its right side from the momentum.

Moral of the story - meh, the V7's are small and light, even the newer ones that weigh a couple of six packs more.

Meh, my misses is 5'4" and she rides the V7III with our son as a passenger....

Just saying.
