On January 18th at the New York City Ace Hotel was premiered a custom built V7 Guzzi motorcycle by Philadelphia shop Hammarhead Industries. Faithful to his philosophy “Honor the past but never look back”, James Hammarhead loves to mix the right amount of vintage cool and of modern flair. With each project, his intention is always the same: building a bike with appropriate functionality that you can take on a daily urban commute, then breaking free for fast and light travel.
The Hammarhead “V7 Wayward” features: Simplified and reduced weight bodywork, high-flow K&N air filters, custom exhaust and remapped fuel injection, performance fork spring, mid rise bars and wide foot pegs give an upright riding position with plenty of room to move around in the saddle, classic 7-inch teardrop headlight shell housing with small speedometer, low-profile high-visibility LED turn signals and 2-inch round brake light, wax cotton panniers with internal aluminum frame. For sale $15,500. Hammarhead Industries

Stunning!
Cool scoot…..
And a great slogan on their web page:
“…Honor the past but never look back…
Certainly worth remembering.
-nicker-
Hate it! They have taken a really sexy V7 and totally buggered it up. Proportions are all wrong (seat and tank) – but that’s just my view…
What a Joke! They screwed the Bike up! I thought this was a “Joke of the Week” by Cyril. come on where is the Talent ? lookslike a Jr. High School project to do with a $199 budget. The Hammer Hit them in the Head!
r u kidding me ? looks like 2 laundry bags for tour packs and the huge battery is just totally UGLY, I sgree a high school project…want to c some moto guzzies so u can copie like everyone else, check out Santiago Chopper..
Be careful with Hammarhead Industries we made a deposit on a bike and were told the bike would be ready to ship in two weeks in November and are still awaiting a response. Very poor business and terrible customer service. Left several voicemails and emails and still no word. Not one person will respond to us….pathetic. This guys will take your money and run.
To Angry Customer:
From what I have been told, Hammarhead Industries takes deposits and does not follow thru with building bikes.
BUYERS BEWARE!!!
To Angry Customer:
If you don’t have your bike yet it’s probably not coming. Take it to a lawyer.
This particular Hammarhead effort has an ungainly stance,is amateur level and is out of proportion ugly.The Guzzi its based on is a B-grade refugee bike model from about 1978 that was never really any good to begin with decades ago.Stripping the paint of a perfectly new tank and fumbling around with a few bolt-on details is not custom building or “industrial design”.The level of hipster cool has decended from quite novel and entertaining,to follow fashion monkey: junkie.
