And nice lineage for us motivated by nostalgia.

She's crazy about orange! So within 6 months I bought a 2013 Stelvio NTX. But honey, it's orange! :rolleyes:

edit: I am 100% confused as to how the word "lay" got in there after "Special". So I removed it.

I think this is the best I have seen. There is one for sale at the local dealership, 2015 model, brand new, clearing out for under $8K CDN. less than $6K US. Pretty cheap for a brand new bike with warranty!

If so hope it's treating you well.

Thanks for post this photo because I was going to get a set of aftermarket shocks with red springs. The red spring look really out of the place on this bike.

BTW I agree this is the best paint job, too bad they don't have for 2016 Stone, I also think matte finish is better in person.

I thought I recognized it with those rim decals & rear rack!
I miss it as it was a damn good looking bike and so easy to get along with
Going to Florida next week until mid July and when I get back I'm going to be listing my KTM 690 Enduro for sale and a Guzzi Stornello Scrambler is on my short list once the KTM goes.
Have a 2016 BMW R1200GS which I'm enjoying the heck out of but there's something about the V7 Guzzis that grabs my attention
We need to hook up for a ride one of these days

Yes, pic was taken the weekend that I picked it up from him.

So far, it is treating me well. Currently it is back at Cam's place, as he picked up a drywall screw in his back tire while riding with me here in PA this past weekend.

I assume you're talking NEW V7 Stornello, not the original? I've seen a couple of the new ones, and they are exceptionally nice!
