Its pure Italian racing heritage... it has a RED frame... and weight reduced drilled side panels... and a silly hat just like the Pope wears.... laughingdp

I prefer this - lame 48hp notwithstanding....

I'll believe it when I see it.  They will probably only make a few of these V7 racers and these will be limited to Europe.  The Griso SE never made to the U.S. so I have no reason to believe these will either.

Also, I know the gas tanks on the regular V7 Classics and the V7 Cafe are plastic.  The rumor is that the tanks on these V7 Racers are chrome over plastic.  Chromed plastic is never a good idea.  These new V7 bikes suffer from the deformed plastic tank problems that Ducati's have.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
