Good review as always.
Gutted I couldn’t make it along that day to have a little ride myself as it’s such a nice looking bike! Will have to make do with my little sit on it that I had till next time.
I have had some nice lil rides on it on my week off last week. It does seem to need me to go round with the locktight tho, the zorsts are doing their best to become unattached, 2 bolts have vibed loose and the others holding it on needed tightening a bit too. Both these bolts fell off on my way back from visiting InMoto, maybe Lord Vader is trying to stop me leaving Kevin (the 636) up there all unloved lol
Gotta get in touch with InMoto and get them to send me some replacement bolts that have been lost, am tempted to ask them to replace the tax disc that fell off when the first bolt went astray as it was them that put it there (I never normally mount a tax disc as they fall off/get stolen too easy…. as proved here lol).Tis lovely tho, and I do so far think its a keeper…. although in a few years it may get sent to Spirit of the Seventies for a makeover!
“Got out on the Guzzi for a quick test ride today, popped in at Brands Hatch to watch some car guys drifting their Nissans. It’s a lovely little bike but it’s way too inoffensive, we will be remedying that….”
“Moto Guzzi V7 Stone – We’ve been really looking forward to working on a Guzzi and Kev has had designs in place for a while now, the Corsa and Terrastrada. The owner of the V7 wants something a little different and the design isn’t signed off yet but it’s very nearly there, details out soon. It’s getting a trick exhaust system, shocks, rearsets, a one off seat unit based upon S2 and a thorough make-over.”
taken from:
BIKE magazine (Feb 2013, but on my doormat Dec22 2012?) has run a comparison test with the V7 stone up against a 883 HD, a Bonnie and a W800. The V7 come out on top with the Bonnie coming in 2nd. Looks like you made the right coices Pete! Still going well?

I need to find some money to pay for the ZX6R I pick up in March, but they have some designs for some magic on another V7 which I shall be following the build with enthusiasm:

(soz if you don’t do facebook)
I have been to their workshop and it is a lovely place. Their other bikes are amazing!
InMoto have replaced the bolts but am still waiting on a decal that has fallen off the clocks.
Have not really ridden much recently (well not the V7) as been playing with the RXS and the bike show etc
