Moto Guzzi V7/

850 Probably redirect all these to a single-page history of this series. Main articles on each one later, if desired.
Wire wheels:
Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article:
Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection.
Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression.

clearly a popular article, with various edits etc. No reason to delete in my view.
It does seem worth noting that
the AfD took place in January 2006 -- eight months ago. The version being discussed at the time was also very different from the current version. With that in mind, I'm opting not to speedy the article; anybody is welcome to start {{
prod}} or {{
afdx}} efforts if they so choose.

Thank you for nipping the speedy in the bud. There was another deletion review in August 2006 where the prejudice against a new article was removed. Unfortunately, this doesn't show up in the logs, so well-meaning exclusionists are effectively invited to speedy this article by the seemingly clear evidence that it needs to be deleted. I'm trying to keep a watch on it to keep it alive while keeping my flamethrower pilot light lit. —

What is missing
current production rate
preferably broken down by engines types (do they sell any more kits?)
what transmission options are sold?
broken down by bikes v. trikes
trikes broken down by rear ends
sources of stock parts
aren't the pegs Kuryakyn?, etc.
sources of aftermarket parts
does Lehman do a trike kit for Boss Hoss?
(non-copyvio) photos! photos! photos! (old models and new models)
special kit builds (like the V10 in the "external links")
more info about the stock nitrous kits and what if any performance numbers are applicable
famous owners?
performance stats
0-60
0-100
quarter mile
hp/torque ratings for all engines/models (possibly with nitrous)
Article reads as an advert, especially in the first and second paras:
...ranging in size from 350 cubic inches (5.7 liters) to 502 cubic inches (8.2 liters), equipped with semi-automatic transmissions, making them by far the most powerful motorcycles in the world
Despite their size, power and weight, Boss Hoss motorcycles offer outstanding ride comfort and driving dynamics.
...many people think that the torque thrust of the engine would make it difficult to handle, but actually if you crack the throttle it is completely gone; straight line only.
