The rear end reminds me of the older tuono.

Two of my friends have purchased Moto Guzzi’s this year,and both have spent more time in the shop with electrical problems than on the road.One is going to sell it as soon as it’s fixed.

There was an adventure bike with a Harley engine (albiet a Sporty). The Buell Ulysses. One of the best bike’s I’ve ever ridden. Went well, handled like a cat on velcro. Comfortable. I will never forgive Harley for killing Buell.

It would look much better if it didn’t have that strange looking beak. The
front end has a “Woody Woodpecker” look. Might be fun to ride, though.

I’m puzzled as to why anyone would convert (and in the process butcher) a perfectly good Griso…to turn it into THAT. I just don’t get it.

Well, true. The real attempt isn’t to deceive the buyer, but to deceive the buyer’s friends by creating a false image. When someone else is paying for my bike, I will care what they think of it.

I have been pondering the idea of a V7 Stone though. Seems like a nice all around light smooth bike with shaft drive, which I miss.

It’s all about selling motorcycles first and foremost. It’s no different than calling the V7 Racer a “Racer” or gluing some ground effect moldings on Chevy’s latest FWD POS with the expectation that it perform like a Winston Cup car. For all but a very select few of us, motorcycles are toys and “curb appeal” sells them. The Motard is a cool looking bike as well as the V7 Racer. I have ridden one and would never think of racing one but it was still a joy to ride.

Although I’m really disgusted with the whole concept of making a bike appear to be something that it inherently isn’t, like the current fad with “adventure tourers” (aka street bikes), this bike appears to be more of a work of art than a real attempt at deceiving people or marketing. I like it, but certainly wouldn’t be fooled by the name or the style as to what it is.

Though it would be nice if they stopped butchering the motard name (yes, Ducati, I’m talking at you). Must be an Italian thing.
