V7 III

If they offered this as a whole package, I'd bite and trade in my current Racer.

That's some set of pipes you got there, Mr.

[Caffeineo]

I don't get the FULLY FUNCTIONING comment.

What do you think the current smallblock front fenders aren't going to do?

There is also the theory of the front tire kicking up nails/screws that then find their way into the rear tire. I have read that some people also put some type of mud flap in front of the rear tire to offer a bit more protection.

I just prefer the look of the full fenders and think they keep the engine a bit cleaner.

Have one on the front fender of my Strada. 

[Penderic]

Full fenders are not good, sometimes. 



I had a front wheel jam up solid with packed mud (gumbo), on a Goldwing, in the middle of South Dakota!

I dunno guys. You could be right, but I'm thinking it's mostly a small difference.

I mean a bicycle vs a Norge with a fairing, pretty big difference.

Debris for rear flats? I've only had two in something over 300k miles, and one was on a Jackal with a full front fender.

I mean I can see where no fender would be a mess, but full vs partial, I dunno. I'll keep my eyes on the different bikes we and our friends have and see what else I can observe.

That said I can see the argument for looks, though ironically I kinda like a slightly more abridged look too.

It seems a few still wet behind the ears journos write about the direct lineage from the original V7 to the V7III. I do not concur. The original was a big block design with hemi heads. The current V7 evolved from the V35/V50 small block line with Heron heads. If I am wrong, please correct me.

I think they're just referring to their first V Twin - the V700.

yes, 50 years of v-twins.

Must say, I don't think we can complain, better than last years offerings, I like all the new v7iii except for the all matt black paint job on the stone but even stone has other colours the green looks best.
l would have expected the racer to be 850. imagine that might happen next year along with a real v9 scrambler/ some sensible v9 revisions?

You're 100% correct, the lineage is to the original V50 not the big block V700.

I'm disappointed in Guzzi at EICMA - not interested in small blocks (I've had 3) and not interested in the 1400's. And can't imagine a Guzzexist.

Fenders on bicycles make a huge difference-obviously nothing to do with active rain, but that isn't the issue. Most junk that gets on a bike of either sort is kicked up by the wheels.

Right, well, I was saying there is a huge difference between a naked bicycle and a sport touring motorcycle with full fairing. So much so there's little reason for them to be in the same conversation.

But even a pretty naked motorcycle still has a lot of surface area between the tire and rider regardless of the fender.

    So then the V7II was a one year model in the USA?

Two.  2015/2016

In Europe, yes, but in the USA, the 2015 models were V7 and the 2016 were V7II, so "one and done" on the V7II.....which can be a good thing or a bad thing...

I'm all for a factory mash-up. It's mostly cosmetics. Go to a dealer (if convenient whatever that is), or a factory website for those past where the buses run. Fill out a build sheet choosing what you like from each of the available V7 III models. What could be the big deal? You get very close to your dream? There could be happiness, uniqueness, jealousy and hate, but many more satisfied customers. MG would be 1st of any current manufacturer selling that kind of custom option mc for less than 50K.  No?
BTW: Can we have a better front suspension. Fancy triple clamps do not improve handling.  Good fortune,  R3~

I hope these sound good:

Has anyone tried the GT MOTOCYCLES V7 III 2-1 FULL SS EXHAUST SYSTEM?
It looks nice and I like the idea of a 2 into 1 that's not a scrambler evhaust
