Very nice!  I have been eyeballing a Milano myself.

I went from the Cafe Classic to the V7III.  For me it was a huge leap in ride quality and a more modern feel.  That dang Cafe Classic was gorgeous though.

I, for another one, have no problem with gratuitous photos of V7's. Keep them coming.

Beautiful bike and pictures!  How long have you had it and how do you like it?  I have a v7II and really like it, but keep wondering if the III is enough of an improvement to go for one.  Currently procrastinating hoping they make a standard version with the V85 engine, which seems like it would be just the ticket.

I've had it for 3300 miles now.  It is a much better ride than the 2010 V7.  All I can say is get a test ride on a V7III and you will know if one is for you or not. 

I did upgrade the front and rear suspension, but that is because I am used to more adjustable suspension from other bikes I have owned and wanting my tires to remain in contact with the roads where I ride.

The museum is interesting.  I wish I could have parked my bike next to the bomber for a photo showing perspective.  The sun was in the wrong place to even take a photo from the parking lot.

I live in Gulf Breeze, not far from Pensacola. Weather has been great.  You would have liked the Naval Aviation Museum on NAS Pensacola, but it's been temporarily closed in light of the pandemic situation.

Safe travels!

I went there a few weeks ago, but was on my Himalayan.

Gotcha. 

I have yet to see a Himalayan in person.  Other than a Bullet in OD green, I haven't come across any of the 650 twins here either.  Given the lack of local dealers, I think I may be the only Interceptor owner 'round these parts. Shame really, they're actually great machines.

Spent a little time in that neck of the woods (swamp?) while my son was based at Hurlburt Field (AC-130 gunner). Gotta watch for sand in the corners!
