Basically, a V7 II Special with all the Scrambler stuff pre-installed at the factory.

OK, that pic confuses the hell out of me.  It looks like the bracket for the rear footpeg is fastened to both the frame and the swingarm.  How the hell does that work?

It's just the standard passenger peg with the mounting point for the low exhaust plugged with a bolt and spacer.

That where the low pipes attach.  Not attached to the swimgarm.

So it's just hanging out not attached to anything.  Well done, MG.

They're still holding the passenger pegs.  If you don't like 'em, just unbolt the brackets.

I just don't see your point, and you're splitting hairs.  Arrow is also a quality exhaust.

Guzzi is digging deep into the past with licence to resurect the Stornello name for a retro scrambler. I doubt that hardly any of the target buyers have any idea what the original Stornello was. Personally I think the scrambler is a nice looking bike but I wish they would ditch the front number plate and fit a twin old school (Honda 70's) style scrambler pipe would be nice.

The exhaust looks like something a kid would make with pipes and playdough. It is ugly, no grace to it, like a complete afterthought.

Don't know why or how but that pic reminds me of the Penton Jackpiner.  Could just be the rear section of the muffler that triggers the memory.
