Damage aside, that looks to be a good deal. Being a 2015 Stone, would this have the single throttle body, and is that the preferred setup?I’m a newbie to these late model V7’s, so not totally clear about the differences.
Why are tip overs or drops always blamed on a friend or the previous owner?
YUP - 2013+ in North America was the debut of the 1TB models (and actually the Stone name was never used on the 2TB - only the V7C, Racer, and maybe the Special).through 2012 - 2TB heron head2013 - 2014 Mk 1 - dry alternator~ 2015 MK 1.5 - wet alternator (slightly lower output)2016 Mk II - V7II - adds ABS/TC and 6-speed (some of these had bad cranks)2017-2020 - V7III - Hemi Head, along with changes frame slightly along with some running gear (shocks, pedals etc).2021 - Mk 4 850cc and more*NOTE some years listed above might be one model year later than EU and other markets than North America.
Thanks Kev, that is good detail. Personally, I don’t mind the 5 speed, and would prefer not to have the ABS/TC components. So, aside from not having the Hemi head, a 2015 should be a good machine?
Heron Head rules! It's the last vehicle on the planet w a famed Heron head. So search for that model!Just my random thoughts, supported by motor vehicle engineers of 50 yrs ago.
They are all decent machines with relatively small differences in most cases. The hemi change and all the things that went with it was pretty big relatively speaking, but even that wasn't night and day.
So Kev, based on the title of this thread, would you get rid of a series 3 to get the 850? I don't believe I would myself.John Henry
I'm 100% happy with my heron head-not that anyone asked. I've done the more power thing a LOT and one of the Guzzi's traits I really like is that I can ride it quite hard without having to top triple numbers to feel like I'm having fun. On a twisty road the 2015 V7 I have is a blast.Yea, you may get to the end before me, maybe, but I'll have a hell of a ride anyway. On my Street Triple, for every mile it was heaven there were 100 miles where it was not. Like John Henry, I too have had the suspension "fixed" by Hamlin. I think if I got the 850 it would start to feel like a bit too much power if that makes sense. Riding it a full tilt might be too fast for public roads-gasp, I'm getting sensible!I felt the same way with my 5 Bonnevilles. I set them up to handle great and never thought about more power like I had on the Street 3.Sort of like my cousin's Corvette and my Mini Cooper Turbo. The vette is blindingly fast and a hoot-for 30 minutes. There's nowhere to use the power. My Mini? I can thrash it and still be "sane". But I've digressed enough............. ...........
Enlighten me. What are the differences between the stator and transmission on the V85 vs. the V7III??? Thanks in advance. (Not something I have paid attention to.)+1 on the suspension, although I have dealt with that on mine so that is no longer an issue to me.John Henry
