MY25 V7-850 UPDATES?!

[Matt Bryant]

I like it, this was the one thing that made me sell my v7 850 stone was not having cruise control. Longer rides became tiring on the throttle hand. Oh and changing that rear tire taking the wheel off was not fun, but I can get over that. More power and torque is definitely appreciated. I'd like to get the bike up to 80 to 90 horsepower if possible, but it's not a deal breaker for me the power.

I installed a Atlas throttle lock on mine. Works great.

That green V7 Sport intrigues me, when will they hit USA??

My guess is Q2/3. Agostini says they don't expect to see them before Spring. Usually when they show at EICMA, they are on the floor in Italy by the time the show is done.

Same position as this years model. If you zoom in you can see it.

Ah yes, back face of the pan !
Nice !
Hot oil shooting out onto the top of the cat

If it has CC then it's a nice big lever on top of the left cluster. Can't miss it.
Edit:
Can't see it on any photo.

The cruise is just a button... like Triumph... Press once to activate... press again to set. It's on the right switchgear under the red off/run/start rocker switch.

That cat has clamps. I doubt we will get something so easy to change.

Jeeeeze Louieeeze guys, why the constant griping over every detail?????

EVERYTHING around here is like this...

 

[DeadEye]

Oddly, not everyone Loves every detail of any motorcycle.
Just like Classic Mini owners were quick to express their loathing for the New MINI… it’s part of humane nature.

As an owner of a 2022 year V7 850 Stone I have to say that these changes seem to be pretty much as expected. I like the idea of RBW throttle and slightly more power and torque. Plus peak torque is made some 600 Rpm lower which would suggest greater rideability at everyday speeds.

There isn't enough here to make me want to trade my current bike but I like that Guzzi are keeping the simple air cooled motor relevant and meeting Euro 5+. The under-engine collector box/Catalyst is a bit unfortunate but I could live with it. I'll be keen to see/hear some riding impressions in the near future.

upside front forks look strange to me on bikes with twin-shock rears, but they still sell the standard model so great! and more power!

Says the man with opposite! Haha. As you know, standard forks can be made to function well. I again state this is likely more of an exercise for the Cup Series for the GC Bros.
Something cool about 17” rims with inverted front end on a twin shock bike IMO…

yea, but standard fork + mono shock is allowed because my old CR250 had that... and that somehow makes it okay in my brain haha

that jackal looks great tho. love the single seat too.
