New V7R with Ago pipes?

I'm trying to figure out why I'm not warming to what should be an attractive bike.  Pulling up an A65 Clubman indicates that perhaps Guzzi was just too fussy with this.  Get the red off the front wheel, leave the paint off the rims, and leave the paint off the fenders.  Maybe...  The upswept pipes do seem to work.  I like the shape of the Ago pipe.  I assume it was sourced out of Mandello--there's an exhaust company just down the block from Agostini's...



I want to like this small-block; just can't get all the way there.

I have to say I like the Stone and the Classic. The Racer is just too gaudy for my tastes. I think the Stone in white is very pretty. I'm actually warming to the 'New' V7. It really is your basic 'Two wheels and a handlebar' type motorbike and the new EMU and single TB plus twin O2 sensors really make it run very sweetly. Gear change is improved and it is much torqueyer than the 'Old' model. The new EMU trims up very nicely, even with open pipes. Much too noisy for me with the dB killers out but it goes nicely.

Yeah, a bit gaudy, but I bet it sounds awesome.  I'd love to take one of these new V7's for a spin.  It would be a black Stone for me.

I don't think it's gaudy, it's kind of like Sophia Loren with some lipstick!   Depite tarted up she'll do the nasty and put you traction in the hospital when done.
