How many "Yankee Greens" do it take to own one, Steve?

for some reason I have tried 2X to reply to this thread, and each time my web browser inexplicable shuts down completely by the time I am typing my third sentence... hmm
Anyhow, nice looking bike - I think Steve H posted a pic of this a while back.
If it has triple disk brakes, ought to stop on a dime and give change back..

Don't know exactly, but word is they should come in around $8500, give or take.

The 750 Breva, and now the V7 bikes, performance-wise are essentially what a modern R65 or R80 would be like. Light weight, handle well, same 50 horses as either one, a little more torque and taller gearing (R80) than the R65.
Plus all the modern goodies like fuel injection, improved electrics, etc.

Nice bikes: I'd love to have one for my 2nd round town/short trip rider. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

There is even a dealer down your way Steve, in Hendersonville, who is advertising a new 2009 V7 Moto Guzzi in the BMW R-Series section of Ebay !

Decent looking bike, and the price seems fairly reasonable...

For those of us who would one day (money permitting) love one of these fang dangled Guzzi V7's (the closest thing to a modern R65)  it just got even better.
