Whenever I compare a stock V85 with mine, I always see the standard one as overweight and cumbersome in appearance.

You’re not wrong. New colors suck.
A bright red roadster with 17” front and rear, 29” seat height and id be all over it.

I see what you see Huzo.  Your set up does look great, in every sense.  Although, the stock bike appears to be better set up for a bit of "all terrain", where you went mostly Strada.

Are you serious?

"The V7 Sport features the new Rosso Monza livery – arguably one of the most captivating colours in motorcycling history."

It says so right there on the internet......

“ The new Stelvio colour schemes echo the shades of outdoor equipment and apparel, underscoring the model’s bold, adventurous spirit.”

In keeping with outdoor equipment, I’d call the new Stelvio “John Deer” green and yellow

One can never argue with the internet....

FWIW, that article is a PR communication just copied/pasted into an item, like much of the content on that website. take with a pinch of salt....

Been at last EICMA three days, didnt feel like Piaggio was "center stage" IMHO

So, just for the sake of discussion, would it fair to say that anyone showing up on a new 2026 colorway should assume half the folks there think they are idiots for getting that color?

Not trying to be difficult-just discussion.

Not at all. It's all in the eye of the beholder. If your happy, I'm happy, but I may bust your chops.

Besides who am I to talk I have a garish sunburst Yello Stornello

Yes, yes and yes…

Huzo:

What you have done to your 85TT is what I want.  What are the mods you have done?

Then there’s the stuff that you can’t see…(there’s a lot).

If you search an old post called “V85 facelift” all is revealed.

Often, the colors look different in person than in pictures and outdoor verses indoor under florescent lights.  There is this new "black-green" on the V7 that does not look like much inside but to my eyes is absolutely stunning out doors.  The Green on the V7 Sport looks like a matte color in pictures but is actually glossy with metallic but you have to be outside to get that. 
My dealer has one of the Wind tunnel V100s.  I didn't like the standard red when it came out and usually I am a sucker for a red bike, but it wasn't the paint it was the anodized wheel rims and valve colors I didn't like.  The WT model uses black for its accents and it is so much better looking to me.
Color is a funny thing.  If you don't like yours, get it wrapped.
