Which brings up the perennial question:  Is a V7-II really that much better than a V7 ??

I know my answer.

For those who own one, I'm sure the answer is YES!

[ponti_33609]

For those who own one, I'm sure the answer is YES!

Just me if if the shifting is described as very refined like a modern bike in comparison to a pre II V7 than is it still a Guzzi?

[sib]

Having owned and ridden both a '13 V7 Stone and a '16 V7-II Stone, I can state that there is certainly nothing worse about the '16.  For me, the ABS was worth switching (others may disagree).  The 6-sp gearbox and slightly roomier ergos are both plusses.  Other minor differences are inconsequential.

[Loftness]

It's not $2k different to me.  If I was buying right now I wouldn't glance at the V7II.

Regarding the clearance deal, this applies to ALL model year 2014 and earlier new Guzzis for a $2000 savings.  And I believe it stacks with the current other deal on Specials so it would be $3000 off a 2014 Special.  That's an awesome deal.

[GearheadGrrrl]

Guzzi is getting better at marketing... Helping the dealers clear out the older models will free up capital so they can stock 2016s. IIRC, Motocycle shop in Watertown, SD has a '14 Stelvio priced at $14k, with the rebate that now $12k bike will be irresistible.

I'm a wee bit unclear.  A V7 special listed for $9290.  Are saying $6290 before the dealer has to cut into his profit?

That's my interpretation of it yes.

That's the way to sell it

No low balls offers, I will punch you in your face for insulting this beautiful bike with a less than asking price offer. Promise her a happy home and she can be yours.

[rocker59]

The $1,000 off 2014 and prior V7 Specials was good through 8/31/15.

The $2,000 off 2014 and prior Guzzis is good through 10/31/15.

"Stacking" the two would be phenomenal, but something tells me they've just updated the $1,000 Customer Cash deal to be a $2,000 Customer Cash deal. 

It would be nice to get a definitive answer from one of our dealer members.

The seller is apparently NOT a graduate of the Dale Carnegie human relations course.

You know, yesterday that deal was still up, but you're right it seems to be gone now.  But it *was* good through 8/31/15.  Hmmm

Your choice, but I'd like to point out that it's not really a net $2K difference.  When you eventually decide to sell the bike, you'll probably get at least $1K more for the '16 than for the '14.  At that point in the future, all new and most used bikes will have ABS, and one without it will be harder to sell.

[cwiseman]

They are stacked together. On our 2014 Cal 1400 touring, our 2014 Norge, & 2014 Stelvio there is a total savings of $3,500 each.
At least that's how it was explained to me by my sales rep yesterday. The dealer kicks in $1750.00 and Piaggio the other $1750.00
I need to read through the program completely but the last two days have been crazy at the shop.

I just sent him the following for a grin..

Guzzi just announced a promotion that will hurt your bikes resale value...  Thought you might like to know.  Based on a 2014 stone MSRP of $8490, A buyer could get a brand new 2014 for less than what your selling for.

I'll offer you $5400..

A 2014 V7 Special might be too hard to pass by at those prices.  I've emailed a couple of close by (350 miles) dealers to see what they can do on the Specials they have on the floor...

[cwiseman]

I don't know how that would work out on a V7 and if they are part of the special program. Don't take what I said as fact since i havnt had a chance to read and understand the program. The last two days were a we bit crazy. I left work today frazzled, confused, and pooped. Tomorrow would normally be a day out on one of my bikes to unwind but home repairs are going to put my limited carpentry skills to the test.

FWIW - when I bought my V7 a few months back.  It turned out the the dealer furthest from me was more than $500 less the any dealer in my state and this is after adding shipping to the bottom line.

Closest dealer is 120 miles, and they only have one matte black V7 Stone.  No Specials. ( I like shiny paint).

Next closest dealer is 250 miles, and they have a good stock.  V7 Specials in black/orange and silver/grey.

Two dealers about 350 miles away.  One has a black/orange.  One has a silver/grey.

I've emailed all three, so it will be interesting to see what they have to say.

Yes, I did similar with all crappy deals in the Florida area....the guy on the west coast couldn't be touched even with shipping if you do not mind going thru that potential hassle.

Probably true to an extent, though having ridden both numerous times, and seeing how aggressive Guzzi's traction control is (it literally shuts the bike down) I'd much rather be without it.  I also like the overall look and riding behavior of the previous V7 better.  And as I don't buy bikes with the intent of turning them around to sell soon after, I'd take my cash break up front if I were buying now.   ......and use it to buy a set of Agostini's!

Exactly.  If I buy another V7, I'll keep it for awhile.  And some Agostinis!  Yes, Agostinis!

[rocker59]

Got my first dealer callback.

Salesman said the $2,000 rebate required dealer participation in a program to take more old stock, and they wouldn't be doing that. 

So, the rebates and discounts available on the 2014 V7 Special at his dealership amounted to $1250.  And they'd be adding freight and prep, so OTD was $8869.

Bottom-Feeder that I am, it just isn't enough incentive for me jump at that price on a two year old motorcycle...

 

[rocker59]

Second dealer emailed. 

No 2014s in stock, but priced a 2015 V7 Special at $8290.  No mention of freight and prep, but expect they would also ask for it.

Told them thanks, but no.
