I rode my ‘14 V7 Special from NJ to Barber’s in Birmingham and back.  All back roads, that’s where they shine.  You’ll be fine unless your idea of “touring” is high speed on the slab.  IMO, my current V85 is a better “do everything” bike, but is taller and heavier.

one more question---do I want the factory Guzzi center stand on a V7-850?

I had AF1 put the OEM center stand on mine when they bought it. They tossed in the labor for free and I think gave me 10% off the center stand price

Bet you love it. I'm over the other side of the pond and have had my V7 850 Sport for a week and a day and love it. Compared to the Breva 750 its been "more of everything", yes including weight....but more power, torque, sophistication, better brakes and better (to me anyway after 21 years on a B750) suspension and handling.

Finally took delivery of the V7 and got it out on the road. After owning a Breva 1100 and a Griso back in the day it felt like an old friend.
