How does it ride compared to the V7 (another bike I've lusted after for some time...)
I would say %80 of the parts in the photos are on the bike. Of course the engine and tranny were completely rebuilt with many new parts.
If you are referring to the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, they are very different. The Moto Guzzi was way ahead of it's time in 1973 with great handling and has a very smooth motor that makes nice power. It still feels quite modern when riding it today, and would have no problem going on a run coast to coast. When on the KHK you are definitely stepping into the past when riding, but it is still great fun.
