Mine ran like warmed over dog crap when the evap canister sustained a crack, it caused a massive vacuum leak that would not let the bike run. All that stuff is now departed, and a vacuum cap resides on the nipple located on the manifold. The one way valve on the gas vent has been replaced with a hose barb connector to allow the tank to breathe freely, another thing that can cause poor running.

If you take your multimeter measure the resistance from plug cap to chassis it should be the same on both sides this will prove the wires are connected.
About 8k Ohms on most bikes I have tried, no doubt the V7 is different but both sides should be identical

Check the basics AIR/FUEL/SPARK

You've checked air
You've checked spark

What about fuel? Did you check for vacuum in the tank?

Also re the spark.
Did you get your plugs from a reputable dealer or off a random 'tinternet site?
There was a spate a while ago of counterfeit NGK plugs so they could work OK in the air but fail when in the combustion chamber
