A friend of mine owns a DB7, he says he has a "love/hate" relationship with it, his previous bike was an MV F4 1000 which he rode very hard and loved it.
He said if the MV ever made a mistake, it was his doing, so good was the bike.
BUT he believes the DB7 is trying to kill him! He says a number of times on the roads he often rode on the MV, the DB7 has tried to kill him, he says the DB's front will slide where in the same place the MV didn't raise a sweat, the problem he has with the bike is,
When he looks at it he's totally smitten, hence his love/hate relationship, he hates that he doesn't think it's as good as his MV but absolutely loves how it looks and can't stop looking at it!!
He has started messing with the suspension set up, as a number of tests say out of the box the setup isn't right, which he agrees with, what amazes him is that they could sell a bike where the standard "factory" settings are so bad.
I talked to him at length about it, he overall seemed quite disappointed in the bike BUT he loves the looks of the thing, he loves the machine work etc etc.
You also mentioned that you wanted something a bit roomier than a 1098, well you better sit on a DB7 as he says it's bloody small.
