This is awesome!
The funny coincidence is you basically have my first Guzzi and current Guzzi together.
My Centenario is just like yours, and my ex-bike 2018 V7III Milano looks nearly identical to your 850 Special.
Wish I still had that one...
Thanks for posting. Hope you'll add your VIN# and related for the first post of this thread. This is the section you'll most likely be in the most. Enjoy and post often!
My first Guzzi!! I've owned everything else figured I needed one of these. I've drooled over this bike for 10yrs now I own it!! Slower than my previously owned Italians, Tuono & Hypermotard but so much more character! Now I need slipons and a proper mapping.
Hello to everyone!
New user here from Valencia, SPAIN. I bought a second hand Classic V7 2009. Beautiful bike with only 18.000km on it and looking as new.
This is my first guzzi and my first motorcycle as well. Before this one i had only two 125cc scooters. I felt in love with the vibration and the sound of this bike!
My background is electro mechanic technician and naval architect (I race sailboats as well).

Hi Fede, congrats and welcome to the GT Forum! Your first Guzzi?
I copied your post here so we can get your VIN# and related for the first post of this (Registry and pic) thread. Look forward to your reply with this info to add. Hope to see you here often.

Je to moje prvé. Dúfam, že to nie je posledné, aj keď nie som človek, ktorý veci strieda. Keďže som stále bažantom vo svete dvoch kolies (okrem bicykla), ani druhé tak skoro nebude. VIN: ZGULDA000JM001356
It's my first. I hope it's not the last, although I'm not one to rotate things. Since I'm still a pheasant in the world of two wheels (apart from the bicycle), there won't be another anytime soon.
Pipes are just cheapo ebay open pipe slip from what I can tell. I love loud but are obnoxious harley loud. Runs like crap too. Gonna get some proper slipsons then start troubleshooting the map, plugs and airbox.

Congrats, and thanks for posting. I copied your photos here to this thread. Love to get your VIN# and related for the first post here. Did you buy it used?

I had a very similar mark one racer for about a year and had a blast on it. Ultimately at 57 years old, my knees and back weren’t quite made for that riding position, but it’s a fun bike and I got more comments and thumbs up on it than any other bike I’ve ridden.
