Conclusion - what sticks
Well done, Moto Guzzi! The new V7 was touched in the right places. More power and more stability make the V8 850 the better Guzzi. Nevertheless, it has retained its character, which should please the potential target group.You can argue about the design, as I said we like the Special better, but also the Stone makes a visual appearance. She is immediately recognizable as guzzi and we would not opt for the black version, but for the one in blue - the black one makes us visually too much on "evil" - and it just isn't.
The test machine was kindly provided by Zweirad-Technik Schielmann in Bokel.
