Sara was briefly considering a V7 Stone as well when she was looking at the Thruxton, but as Martin states, the reviews are very mixed. Most reviews point out some positives, that make it better for maybe a city commutor than a road bike maybe? They tend to try to find the positives, but end up being more negative in the long run. That and if you think finding a dealer outside of a major metropolitan area and parts availability, can be difficult with a Triumph….

You know, Dan, I briefly considered the V7 Stone as well but to be honest, the reviews are very mixed. Seems like a bike that is "like the old days" but not necessarily in a good way, i.e. you don't want to buy the one that was assembled on the Monday after a big holiday because quality can be hit or miss. I think I prefer the boring predictable reliability of the modern Triumphs and Japanese bikes.MartinFrom: Dan Pilcher <dpilcher@cochamber.com>

Subject: [emrat:2610] My Triumph Love Affair . . .
--Mr. Curtis Graves suggested I consider buying some other brand of bike, like the Motor Guzzi V7, given that I now own six Triumphs.Attached is a photo that shows why I'm so devoted to Triumphs: rural England, September 1971.Yes, that's me, long hair, John Lennon glasses, an iconic Belstaff waxed-cotton riding outfit, British army boots--and my brand-new 1971 TR6R Tiger . . . . which I still have.Three months, and 6,000 miles later, when I returned to London, I think my genetic structure had been modified to include tiny Triumph logos.JDan
