Sweet!!!

Did you ride it there?

We noted a number of V7s on the premises but I don't recall a Milano.... Then again there was beer involved, lots of beer.

Very nice. Obviously a man of taste & class. That seat looks comfy, too. Enjoy.

Congrats and welcome to the board.  Very elegant.  A friend of mine has one with hepco becker city bags, mid shield and agostinis added, a lovely machine.

Not that others, including myself, haven't said this before, but:
Swapping features you like betwixt models can go a long way toward a more satisfying ride. I wanted a Milano for its look. I wanted a racer for its foot controls higher pipes and rear shocks. I wanted slightly raised bars and mostly wanted better frt. suspension & brakes.
I bought a racer. Had the dealer add Legnano bars & K-Tech's upgraded suspension, radial MC & radial 4 piston caliper, metal fuel filter, NGK plug caps and cast wheels (off a Stone). A Marlin fairing replacing the silly chip over the head light and total repaint, plus a contrasting seat cover and Bob's yer uncle.
Damned nice bike. But can it lose ~70#'s and carry a quiet transmission?  R3~
