Obligatory pic.

It plum ticks me off that Guzzi hasn’t done something similar. It ain’t hard—install the longer forks from a V9, add a 19” front wheel, scrambler pipe, and we’d have an updated V7 scrambler.

The Bear is a scrambler type instead of a cruiser
Same motor but a bit more torque and lower in the rpm range
More upright seating
Longer travel suspension
Taller
Think dual sport if you will
