By not getting all 3 you can lose them all. If you can that's great, but the original post suggests he's not going to purchase because of color. That's a bad compromise in my book.

Riding and owning aren't the same thing or necessarily have the same requirements. But there's no reason not to satisfy BOTH requirements.

It's an interesting point... I do find myself staring at my bike now and then... just owning it. At those moments, I enjoy every detail of what I see -- and I'm fairly nuts about color.

These are two of my favorites:

Oh agreed, there comes a time to compromise.

But then again, as much as I love my V7, I don't think it's the only bike in the world.

I like a bit of variety too.

The REALLY IRONIC thing about this thread is that the OP seems to have abandoned the idea of a V7 cause he was told he couldn't get red, while the rest of the long time Guzzisti knew it was likely red would show up, and we are now being told that will or already have.

That seems to be much ado about nothing.

If Guzzi were shmart they would have made the "Racer Kit" for the small blocks different. It should have been a set of side covers, tail piece and half fairing, with large recessed flat panels, along with a Guzzi vinyl graphic kit of your choice. Gloss white only would be ok with me.

When the panels are designed to work with stick on vinyls ..... a lot more customers looking for a unique look could easily design their own art bikes.

Many other colors and patterns available!

You guys are too much. You resurrect a thread after two and a half months? Really?
You rake me over the coals for wanting a red gas tank on my bike?

Nope. The thread was resurrected to point you to an available, red, V7II, here in America, not to further criticize you. Just click on the link you were given:

You forgot to say "thank you" to Kirk.

This whole thread is indeed the gayest thing I can remember on WG, and I'm talking about the responses, not the original post.

OK.Finally gonna comment.
Many years ago, about 30 of 'em, I boldly stated: I ain't never gonna buy other black bike. Too hard to keep clean. Of course I have had several since then.
Color is far, far down the list.
A tiny fuel tank would be a dealbreaker.

Kevdog3019, Kev M,

See reply 36. And I never said I was giving up on Guzzi. I said I would wait
and see what November brought. BUT—If I see a red -tanked V7 II Stone at
my dealer, I'll probably get it. Mainly because my budget is so tight, and I
probably couldn't afford the rumored mid-size bike anyway, but I want to get
back on a Guzzi.

Kirk,

Thanks for the link. Nice to know that the red is showing up in the US.
Now, if I can just get my dealer to order me one.

Your welcome, although I don't really expect gratitude for responding to a post.
I just was sharing a sighting of a red V7II. I wish it was the Italian bright red, but from the picture Rocker posted, it actually looks pretty good.

I think this thread has probably run it's course. :Beating_A_Dead_Hors e_by_liviu
