Title: V7 Scrambler
Post by: Dave Swanson on May 13, 2016, 04:02:11 PM

This is probably old hat to some of you, but I stopped by my local dealer and was admiring this V7 Scrambler!  Very nice!  I wonder how loud the Arrow pipes are?

The V7II Special in blue was a looker also!

I am thinking about a V7 purchase.  If I take the plunge I probably go for a 2015 V7 at a discounted price.  But the Scrambler was cool!!

I take it they didn't have any v9s on the floor yet?

I was in a dealer yesterday in CT.  He had at LEAST 10 different V7's.  Saw the new V9's also.  Much better in person.  Engine looks great, and everything looks to be of first rate quality.  I just cant get past the look of those new, smaller, tanks.

Thanks Swanny.   I too, think the v7's are the tits!

Since I am behind the curve on these bikes, how are the new V7II's received?  Quite a few upgrades, 6 speeds, ABS, TC.

I'm loving mine.  Rarely touch 6th, but it's there if needed.  I like that the engine is tilted forward a few degrees, adding knee clearance to the jugs.  No center stand is dumb, but I bought a lift instead.  Rebuilt the seat, added C-Bow side cases and a Givi Universal windshield, and I'm good.  Oh, and the latest factory electronic brain flash was a good thing as well.  And the longer stalk Guzzi Sport mirrors, too (which I've linked to the supplier previously if you search me).

Edit- oops, those aren't the C-Bow cases, wrong photo.  Oh, well.

Tell us more about those cases?     It looks like C-bow mounts.   Did you add the female C-bow part to those cases?    I've got C-bows on two bikes, and would love a weather proof hard-bag solution for them.

The 2-1 Arrow pipe is quiet but better than stock.
The Tre 70 2-2 aftermarket pipes are loud with a nice snarl.
MG Portland has both, I got to demo the bike with the Tre 70 pipes  :weiner:
