Title: Anudder V7Stone Custom ... yay
Post by: Penderic on May 13, 2015, 03:46:40 PM

Different tank, seat, headlight. Chopped front fender. No rear fender. Tiny turn winkers.

Those flat looking seats they put on these new customs remind me of office furniture upholstery.

Same old theme...do the bling stuff to make the bike much less practical (like deleting the side stand).  Note that it still has the crappy OEM shocks.  I do like the colors and what's there looks like it was well done.  Kinda reminds me of the ape-hanger trend we are seeing now.

I don't think you guys get it... Every one that's done means Guzzi is gaining interest...

Is that tank off a Honda CB1100? And yeah, silly as all that is it at least is introducing Guzzi to people. More advertising and marketing than Piaggio is doing, and for free. Oh wait, that would be *so* Guzzi, or at least Guzzi-owner  ;D.

Exactly, that is a cool looking bike!  We look at pictures and IMAGINE it rides and runs as good as it looks, because he SURELY has paid as much attention to the suspension as appearance.  You gotta get by the looks first on a new bike.  :-))

I really like this one from Moto Guzzi Portland:

I hate the tank.. It's so clearly an off the shelf model from a different bike.. The recess for the seat and the exposed mounting bolt make it look very unfinished

I'd like to see some craftsman like details on these customs ... not just off the self parts and a can of flat black paint.

How about for example ....

Red Tortoise shell paint job on the frame .... classy!

To each it's own.  Harleys can be customized, but Guzzis should be left alone, IMSHO.
