I recently got the Q7 on Woot and immediately tested it on the 2015 Indian Scout that I had picked up (it's a press bike):

I had the Scout for a five day pizza tour of the Northeast, from Boston to Baltimore. As you can see, the Scout has no room for luggage, and I'd hate to sully its look with a tank bag, so I carried all my clothing and camera gear (eighteen pounds worth) on my back for five days. I normally carry a second DSLR body or K-01 as backup, but I didn't have room for one on this trip.
The Q7 is a big step up in IQ from the original Q. So much so that I felt confident enough to bring the Q7 with 01 Prime and 08 Fisheye as the
sole backup to my main camera, the K-3 with DA* 16-50 F2.8. Yup, if the K-3 flapped its mirror to its untimely demise
or the DA* 16-50mm F2.8's SDM motor failed, I was confident that the Q7 would be able to step in and take magazine-worthy photos. I'd have to think on my feet and likely end up with different photos, but I knew that it could be done.
Thankfully, the K-3 and DA* performed flawlessly. But I'm still thinking about bringing a Q7 kit on a future trip as the main camera. Just for the challenge of it.
