• Ciao Guest, The owner of this website and GTMotoCycles.com lost his home completely on the morning of January 8th in the L.A. Wildfire Storm. Most of his neighborhood is gone, and a few friends were killed along with their pets. The GTM SHOP and STORE are functioning normally, but we DEMAND EXTREME PATIENCE on orders as we are a SMALL business and Todd usually has his hands on nearly every order before it goes out. You can find more info on a post named L.A. Wildfires in the USA section. Our heart and best go out to everyone in this horrific disaster.

V7 Registry & Picture thread -- ADD YOUR BIKE

Well I'm adding my V7 850 Special in blue to the list.
VIN ZGUKZUB01MM000197 purchased 8/6/21

I'm liking the bike and it seems to be breaking in nicely, only about 300 miles so far.

I'm definitely looking forward to some suspension upgrades and a remap to clean things up. I'm sure there will be some other things also, probably a center stand and tail rack, mostly likely heated grips also. I want to see about a seat with less cutdown in the front.

Very nice !
Is that windscreen stock ?
New / Used how many miles ?

I think the flyscreen is a Dart Piranha. Looks like it anyway, but I really don't know. I bought the bike used with 4278 miles at Aces Motorcycles in Ft. Collins CO.

Edit - Dart Marlin!

So I’m out for an evening ride, standing up on the pegs getting some extra air flow, it’s over 90 here !
A older guy on a wide glide goes by on my left ... we’re going the same way, first light i hang back, next light he picks a lane I pull up along side , we nod.

Next light same thing, third light he’s looking over and says “ Electric ?”
I pop the rev’s , he looks a bit startled and embarrassed “Oh ! That’s the cylinder ! “
“ It’s that way” he makes a transverse V motion with his hands...

Not that many in town I say,
“ Never seen one before” he responds
I tell him they took a couple to Sturgis and everyone was asking how they switched the engine around like that, he laughs...

Yes it does! I like it, it’s easy to see even in bright sunlight. Two complaints, the gear indicator often lags behind shifts, and they missed an opportunity to use the “eagle” as a digital gas gauge.

Yes, the gear doesn’t update until you let out the clutch so it can calculate the gear based on speed and RPM.

I trust the trip meter and your average fuel consumption numbers - Mpg / L/100km more that I would trust a gauge, they always lie about the second half tank...
