  Bought the V7iii not long ago. Can confirm 52hp can be fast. They are HILARIOUSLY fun to ride and coupled with the huge gas tank and shaft drive, is an amazing light touring and ADV bike. It leans pretty low, even for a standard, and does everything you want it to. Low maintenance, reliable, and cheap. It is the best beginner bike you can get.

  I just happened to watch this video on March 15, 2021, then went to the Moto Guzzi website and saw that today is their 100 year anniversary; 15 March, 1921-15 March, 2021. Happy Birthday my dudes.

  I bought a V7 II last week, and you describe it perfectly, it has character. People talked to me on every stop I made on a long tour. &quot;Havent seen a Guzzi in a while, its beautiful&quot; <br>And the whole power thing is true too, I owned a Duc 998 before and after riding the Guzzi i was like, i dont need the power, this is enough to have fun. Lovely Video, much Love from Germany 🇩🇪

  I have a 1000 SP II that I bought new in &apos;85. She never let me down. I rode several times from Italy to Holland (1100 km) in one shot - 13 hrs straight. Once I had rain for 10 hrs. It was me who needed a break, not the bike. Mechanical contact breaker is a bit of a pain, but cheap and easy to replace and adjust. It will never fail, contrary to some electronics that equip today&apos;s bikes (including BMW - which I also have....). Finally, my wife prefers riding the MG over the BMW, and hates my Ducati 996. Enough said.

  Been riding Guzzi&apos;s &nbsp;for over 40 years. &nbsp;Serious machines not toys.

  Having ridden Guzzi&apos;s for over 40 years, they are reliable, long lasting, and the electrics are crazy ! All of mine ( 6 different models) have exceeded 300,000 miles - one well over 500,000. And they were all still running fine when I sold them.Just keep up the oil and filter changes, and grease the electrical terminals.

  A motorcycle made in the true spirit of motorcycling.

  Sean, you didn&apos;t mention that shaft drives require practically no maintenance compared to chains, which have to be cleaned and relubed every 300-500 miles. &nbsp;(Also, the 6-cylinder BMW K bikes are straight-6, not V-6.)

  I once heard a saying about Moto Guzzis &quot;the first time you ride one you think, how could I live with this, after 30 mins it&apos;s how could I live WITHOUT &nbsp;this&quot; !!!

  Why would some one buy a moto guzzi? Cause us guzzi riders are just a little bit different! In the 1950s guzzi riders were tagged as being &nbsp;on the &quot; ragged fringe of decent socioety&quot;, by an Australian &nbsp;journalists, and this was taken up as the motto. &nbsp; “Societas honestae, limbus pannuceus” <br><br>I&apos;ve had several guzzi&apos;s, all unique but with the same soul. Where most bikes are the faithful wife, the teen crush or long time love or one night stand, guzzi&apos;s are the definitely the temptress, an exotic seductive mistresss.

  I used to restore Moto Guzzi’s. &nbsp;Love the bikes. Would love one of the new 850s.
