Friend rides my V7-850
« on: March 08, 2026, 06:32:20 PM »
Today while meeting my group at the Myakka City Gas station in Florida,  a friend rolls up on a BMW HP 2 Mega Moto, he throws me the keys and I say you ride my V7-850 Stone "TEN".  He was so impressed with the power delivery compared to his BMW'r, he noted it felt like it had more power.  When riding his bike it did feel like a tractor with killer suspension! Now with about 5500 miles on it the motor really feels good, right up to the rev limiter, this motor feels way better than my old V85TT 2024.   Im not sure if my V7 isa freak or what, but it does pull nicely for being 67HP.

I agree, I think my '26 Special pulls just about as well as the T120 I had.

That V7 10 had me tempted.... I think it is the best of all the V7 color scheme experiments....... Would look even better with the Aluminum fenders front and rear.
