I like it better than the Triumph Scrambler version and being a Guzzi, it has shaft drive ~ which is a definite bonus and it's lighter than the Triumph too

It will break, things will fall off and it will end in tears.

read the review on these updated V7 guzzis. one of the new features are "tidier welds on the frame" which is listed in oficial release !!

anyways I like how guzzi got that so underpowered and tired old girl a few new dresses, which are very obviously ponting to the nostalgia of 60-80s, for the generation who grew up in those years just dreaming about those machines :laugh:

one of those bikes, which are nice in pictures, but living with them is very different.

Same power as a 660 Tenere and less weight, even with shaft drive - so can't be all bad

Look how we worship the Tenere here, most people would be ok on one of these

tenere is a go anywhere at anytime bike and 46bhp from a single is acceptable. 46bhp from a twin is very low, whats more that engine is really dull, and shaft drive suck up even more hp of the output of the rear wheel.

Oh I dunno, speed limit in uk is 60mph on A&B roads & 70mph on motorways so I think it'll cope ok
