I know this is NOT Norton related but...

Does anyone here have any experience with Moto Guzzi's relatively current V7 models? I'd rather hear from people I "know" as opposed to the Utube "reviews" (on any product) that mostly consist of some guy/gal essentially reading ad copy. If this post is unacceptable because it is not about Nortons, I apologize and won't be upset if it's deleted.

The nearest forum member to me here in France runs one, less than a couple of years old now, an 850. He seems very happy with it in rural France as a 'modern' alongside an 850 MkII.

I won't quote forum name because I always confuse it with someone else!

I have been riding Guzzis since I was young. Rode a Norge 1200 for a while. Recently restored a 1978 MG Lemans

Not that familiar with the new V7 models but it’s still the same basic design as the last 50 yrs.
