A real pleasure to hear from someone who sounds more the way I think than so many of the motorcycle reviewers I read. I'm not concerned with weight or lean angle, or how the bike compares. I'm not being chased. I have a V11 and switched to it after two Ducatis because I wanted to go a little slower. The Norwegian novelist Per Petterson described a character as being "in time with himself." That's how I want to feel on a bike. That's how I feel on my Guzzi. Thanks for reminding me of that.
I'm italian and I'm a Guzzi owner too, this video is fantastic !! The way you strangers pronunciate the name of the manufacturer is very funny to me ! I can't stop repiting it : moto gooosi ! :D I love it !!!
thanks a lot mate from an italian Guzzi lover... for your your video, for your words, for everything and it doesn't matter if Guzzi engines are derived or not from tractors... it matters only that we stay loving them!!! ins't it? Ciao from Italia!
Lovely bike man.. beautiful paint scheme! Moto Guzzi has huge respect here in Europe! I've got a V7 as well and every time I ride I meet somebody who wants to chat about the bike and it's characteristics. Lots of Moto Guzzi converts running around London! Safe riding! Enjoy your bike... it's beautiful!
Jordan, you're correct about riding safely so that you still can when you're 75. My dad is 81 and still riding his 1973-1/2 Eldorado. And although I typically ride multi-cylinder sport touring bike, I have my own '74 Eldorado now too.
Great POV on motorcycling and why Moto Guzzi evokes so much passion. Great CT roads too. Some of my local favorite roads to boot! Love the Monza paint scheme on your bike. Ride safe, ride long.
I also love Guzzi`s and have had three of them. A 1969 Ambassador 750, a V65sp, and a V50lll. Maybe twenty years ago I passed on a mint 1000S out in Denver, and have kicked myself ever since. To me, your bike is the most beautiful of all Guzzi`s, followed by a red and white 1000SP. Ironically it had been almost a year since I have ridden, and I took my beautiful Dyna out for about an hour ride this morning. It started right up, and the ride was a joy for me at 74 years old.
Really great video. Watching it for the third time in a few months :) I'm "only" driving a V7, but I definitely get your point. There's not much better than a Moto Guzzi motorcycle. Fell in love with that brand...
Very nice video Jordan, loved your description and appreciate the passion for Moto Guzzi, as I'm an italian living in the UK. Beautiful bike too, very well maintained, well done. See you somewhere on the road and..keep on riding!
Great video.Nice to see a well done video on Guzzi. Just a few points Moto Guzzi Started in 1923 and the motor was design to be a motorcycle motor in the V7. Yes they did have a three wheel tractor powered by a V twin but that was a different motor.
I had an old T-3. I live in West Virginia, which means tight turns and plenty of them. The T-3 was like it was made for that type of riding. "It's all about the wind"
Beautiful Moto Guzzi! I love my '02 Cal Stone. Guzzi power band and exhaust note is nostalgic and addictive, it somehow feels luxurious, like a classic Mahogany Chis Craft or WW2 fighter plane. It kinda reminds me of a pumped small block Ford, not over the top power but enough to get your attention and be fun.
Great video thank you!! New MG owner just last week, long time Ducati owner love the MG there's nothing like it and I get a kick out of the tractor reference. Some mc trivia for you, Ducati started out as a radio manufacturer so I think the early references just add to owner appreciation!! Love your bike ride safe.
Saw your video. Inspiration. Haven't owned a bike since the mid 1980's...first bike was 1970. Just bought a 2001 Moto Guzzi California Jackal. Killer deal. Was thinking of this video as I bought it. It needs some work - hope I can find the parts I need - but will watch your video again for continued inspiration. Many thanks. Cool stuff.
Great video. I have owned several Moto Guzzi's and currently own a Mk V LeMans. Awesome bikes, and I can relate to everything you say. Hope they continue producing bikes for many years to come,
Happy Birthday today to my husband, Jordan. Tracey Kroll directed him to say he's Irish (which he's not) when he made this video for his job interview, great footage, the stream of consciousness dialog has a few errors but the scenery is great and this motorcycle is really cool. The intention of this video was just to secure a job for Tracey and it was never disclosed that it was going to be on youtube -and now it has close to 100,000 views!
I am not sure where he ended up but his portfolio is very strong with photography, I think he wanted to also have an array of videography to supplement that.
I enjoy watching this video just for what it is. I have wached it a few times and it is a fun not too serious video. With nice scenery and a beautiful v twin Italian rumble. : )
Beautiful bike you have there! Great job on the video! I'm also a Guzzi fan, and currently restoring a 1979 Lemans CX100. Hope to have her finished for next Summer, and post a video at that time. Cheers, AL
Enjoyed this video. Absolutely agree with everything you said, especially about respecting them. You are an inspiration to younger riders on how to do it the right way.
Somebody once paid me the compliment about my Le Mans "You ride that as though you were born on it". It felt like it as well, an organic bike, bloody brilliant.
Jeff, thanks for the video. I really liked the production, and it's much better than others out there. I'm exploring the purchase of a MG V7 Classic, and although I cannot comment on the accuracy of the video as others have, it was fun to watch. It made me want to buy a Guzzi even more. Thanks. --Brent
Dear Jordan, in a lot of wayś , you are thinking the way I do. I am also a Moto Guzzi driver, and also I am not fixing my bike with wire any more, because I am older now and also wiser. (I hope) You have got a really nice Guzzi! Congratulations. Drive carefull, have a nice time and thanks for this nice little film. Best reguards from Germany Hartmut
Hey , by the way... Hope you are taking no notice of all of the negativity added here Jordan. To ALL of yuze guys..he emphatically states that he is from Irish descent. I'm a Brit and my two daughters were born here in the U.S. making them American's, however, if asked i'm sure that they will not hesitate to state that they are from English and Japanese descent. Just be proud of what you ride regardless and less of the nit-picking.!!
Awesome. My outlook on motorcycles too. Slow down, enjoy the world, enjoy life. Speed up when it's safe. Just heading to Czech from Scotland to pick up a V11 Cafe Sport. Ride it around the Alps and having it shipped home.
great video. my first bike was a Harley 2001 Wideglide and after 12000 Ks travelled I thought there's no other bike than a Harley I could own from now on. Well circumstances require change and the HD sold. 11 years later I just bought a MG V35 Imola. OMG I'm in love again and now want a V50 Monza as well and then hopefully a 850.
Cannot even compare.. HD are OK.. But just OK. All they are is a brand. A name.. MG shit all over HD. Yesterday now tomorrow forever.. Long live the moto guzzi
this engine was studied for the fiat 500 sport in 70's, but never fiat used this engine because thought abarth engine was better for this car, you can check in "cilindri italiani" web site, i love this bike
Even with a few snafus,GREAT video.Of course how bad can it be with THAT BIKE in it.I remember the forst time I saw a 1000S.I was,and still am,awe struck.I have a T3 cafe and '07 Griso and nothing else can match the Guzzi.Period! Regards,Steve
Checking dyno charts of each successive Ducati engine from the Pantah engines of the 70's/80's to the current Testastretta design, horsepower and TORQUE have increased throughout the rpm range.
Nice video Jordan..( my grandson's name by the way..) I too harken back to the mid-sixties and was brought up on the big British three..no need to mention those, right.!?? I must admit though that I do miss my 500 Beeza and most of all my Triton. We can all still of course ride those bikes, that is if we don't mind the wrenching in our old age. It is great however to know that Moto Guzzi are making a comeback so it is a V7 that will be next in my garage.. Happy and safe riding to you !!
Moto Guzzi started in 1921. Many of their motorcycles were single cylinder. The current V configuration came late 50's/early 60's. He needs to check his facts.
@@oluffriesthomsen7680 well ok, he hasn't been probably so accurate in this short but passionate video. However. he was not so far from reality, after all. Back in the 20's and in 30's Moto Guzzi was extremely famous also for moto-trucks: Ercole, Ercolino, Trialce, Guzzi Edile. Ercole has been in production until the '70 with many restyling. Regards.
25 yrs ago held together with wire !! My xj600 is held together with gaffa tape and its never fixed properly, cool video i do like those guzzi v7 classics hmmm, but for now its my xj that i bought this yr for 400 pounds, keep on ridin x
Green frame Lemans 1000S. I bought one new in '93 and she was stolen two months later, never saw her again. I'm riding an 89 Lemans V now but every time I see that tank and frame I feel a tug on the heartstrings...
All power to you and I hope you’re still riding in good health 👍🏻 I’m the same about Moto Guzzi. The colour of the countryside looks amazing. Where was it shot?
Be very careful. Moto Guzzi's are extremely addictive. They should all sport labels prominently displayed stating this fact lest many more first time riders of the marque fall under it's spell.
moto guzzi v7 sport s3: the only one !!! One of the most great bike ever made ! Enjoy of HER!!!! Sincerely, Faircommander (I have my third MG: Moto Guzzi California Special Sport Specially tuned Hepco & Becker)
Hey Jordan, would you consider doing more Guzzi Videos? If so please let me know and I will subscribe! Great review relaxed, and I've just really fallen in love with Moto Guzzi! They are simply awesome and I'm glad they are still around, I'm getting a Grizzo 1200 and a California. Just so much character that you just don't get on most other bikes. Feels like a muscle car between your legs!
@tyeweb thanks for reply. I realize that's the ways its done "in America", unlike anywhere else in the world. People from Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand or Canada all came from somewhere else too but they identify with where they were born, not where their ancestors come from. I have Irish friends in San Francisco (real ones) who say they are Irish too. Maybe they should say "I'm Roman, or Norman, or English, or Spanish..." since Ireland has been settled by all those people's too.
One of the best video about Moto Guzzi. Moto Guzzi lovers can't miss it.
Thumb up.

Love when you talk about riding on a Sunday morning when nobody's around...or during the sunset...missing those moments.
I'm italian and I'm a Guzzi owner too, this video is fantastic !!
The way you strangers pronunciate the name of the manufacturer is very funny to me ! I can't stop repiting it : moto gooosi ! :D I love it !!!
I got a 850-t - a sweetest piece of engineering - fun to ride and so easy to fix.
Had six different bikes before, but none like Guzzi!
thanks a lot mate from an italian Guzzi lover... for your your video, for your words, for everything and it doesn't matter if Guzzi engines are derived or not from tractors... it matters only that we stay loving them!!! ins't it? Ciao from Italia!
This video makes me miss my Moto Guzzi... Lucky it's still in my possession, just only a few thousand miles away. Something to look forward to.
Me too!
Thanx for a very poetic and gentle portrait of a motorcycle and a man. Cool!
Lovely bike man..

Jeff, it's wonderful, you speak about Guzzi soul with your heart ! And your bike is very nice !
Beautiful made video. Your history is correct. Knowledge and experience you have. A pleasure to watch.
🇮🇪Bravo!!! you are really good !!! Ciao dall'Italia!!!!🇮🇹
I bought a 2018 Moto Guzzi V7 III Special (Blue) this summer. It's magic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great POV on motorcycling and why Moto Guzzi evokes so much passion. Great CT roads too. Some of my local favorite roads to boot!
Love the Monza paint scheme on your bike.
Ride safe, ride long.
Probably the best made 9 year old video I've seen recently.
really nice videography, and wow, what a beautiful bike. Thanks
your bike is wonderful !!
I also love Guzzi`s and have had three of them. A 1969 Ambassador 750, a V65sp, and a V50lll. Maybe twenty years ago I passed on a mint 1000S out in Denver, and have kicked myself ever since.

Memories of my 1983 Le Mans MkIII and 1990 Le Mans MkV.
Really great video. Watching it for the third time in a few months :)
I'm "only" driving a V7, but I definitely get your point. There's not much better than a Moto Guzzi motorcycle. Fell in love with that brand...
Beautiful video. So well put together, and of course the subject matter. Guzzis are the best!
Very nice video Jordan, loved your description and appreciate the passion for Moto Guzzi, as I'm an italian living in the UK. Beautiful bike too, very well maintained, well done.
See you somewhere on the road and..keep on riding!
gr8 ride video Tracey thanks..U r very fortunate to own that beauty..nothing like a Guzzi...
Great video.Nice to see a well done video on Guzzi. Just a few points Moto Guzzi Started in 1923 and the motor was design to be a motorcycle motor in the V7. Yes they did have a three wheel tractor powered by a V twin but that was a different motor.
1921. Or so the company Its self claims.
I had an old T-3. I live in West Virginia, which means tight turns and plenty of them. The T-3 was like it was made for that type of riding. "It's all about the wind"
Beautiful Moto Guzzi! I love my '02 Cal Stone. Guzzi power band and exhaust note is nostalgic and addictive, it somehow feels luxurious, like a classic Mahogany Chis Craft or WW2 fighter plane. It kinda reminds me of a pumped small block Ford, not over the top power but enough to get your attention and be fun.

Beautiful pictures, thank you.
Really great video. Gorgeous bike.
wow... this video just opened my eyes... I know what motorbike I want ride now... Thank You
Great video thank you!! New MG owner just last week, long time Ducati owner love the MG there's nothing like it and I get a kick out of the tractor reference.

That is one american sounding Irish man.
He is just in America 🇺🇸 being respectful of how we speak over her.
Happy Birthday today to my husband, Jordan.

The intention of this video was just to secure a job for Tracey and it was never disclosed that it was going to be on youtube -and now it has close to 100,000 views!
Without having to divulge too many personal details, what sort of job requires a video like this? (Marketing for Moto Guzzi, perhaps?)
I am not sure where he ended up but his portfolio is very strong with photography, I think he wanted to also have an array of videography to supplement that.
I enjoy watching this video just for what it is. I have wached it a few times and it is a fun not too serious video. With nice scenery and a beautiful v twin Italian rumble. : )
What a great and sincere footage. Many thanks.
And now more than 239.000 views 😊👌
They are beautyful motorcycles, no doubt

A man after my own heart, more power to you. If that isn't what pure motorcycling pleasure is all about I don't know what is [and wouldn't want to]
Moto Guzzi rocks!!!! Thank you wise man!!! What a nice motorcycle you have!!! And very good video from Tracey Kroll!!!
Somebody once paid me the compliment about my Le Mans "You ride that as though you were born on it". It felt like it as well, an organic bike, bloody brilliant.
Nice Video, just bought a 2010 Griso 8V pick it up in 3 days, Cant Wait my first Guzzi
Jeff, thanks for the video. I really liked the production, and it's much better than others out there. I'm exploring the purchase of a MG V7 Classic, and although I cannot comment on the accuracy of the video as others have, it was fun to watch. It made me want to buy a Guzzi even more. Thanks. --Brent
Great video, but the motor was not from a tractor it was developed to be a motorcycle motor in the V7. Greg Field in his book explained that nicely.
i love moto guzzi
I liked your video. Moto Guzzis are special
Great video. If I wasn’t a Beamer guy... I’d be a Guzzi guy. Twins rules, trolls don’t. You guys need to another video in that great neighbourhood.
Love the musica and of course the Bike
Nice laid back video and well done I have a 85 Cali 2 and they are the best bikes just for riding
Really well done. Loved it, makes me want to go hop on my bike.
Thanks for posting.
1:10 to 1:17 nominated to best landscape in a casual shoot
Amiazing video, great motorcycle - I love Guzzis!

in a lot of wayś , you are thinking the way I do.
I am also a Moto Guzzi driver, and also I am not fixing my bike with wire any more, because I am older now and also wiser. (I hope)

great watch even better commentary
its 2022 and I just got my first MG V85TT, and im pissed that I never thought till now.
I don't know what to admire: The bike or the scenery 😍 I guess both 😅

And with a proportionately smaller bore for a given displacement, less surface area of piston being pushed down on by combustion pressure!
THANKS! Great!
Nicest ever Moto Guzzi video I've seen:-)

It doesn't matter which bike you´re riding. As long as it`s a Moto Guzzi !!!
Nice video. I love the sound & ride of the Guzzi. & nice editing no one gets the hours that goes into the editing .lol
