It plum ticks me off that Guzzi hasn’t done something similar. It ain’t hard—install the longer forks from a V9, add a 19” front wheel, scrambler pipe, and we’d have an updated V7 scrambler. I plan on building a 19” front as an alternate wheel size for my V7 dual sport (alongside the 21” that I’ve built). And, I have a set of V9 forks, so…

The Bear is a scrambler type instead of a cruiser
Same motor but a bit more torque and lower in the rpm range
More upright seating
Longer travel suspension
Taller
