Moto Guzzi · 2007 - present · 744 cc - 853 cc
Description
Features and technical evolution
The Moto Guzzi V7 is not just a motorcycle but the very icon of Made in Mandello. Relaunched in the modern era to carry on the legacy of its famous 1967 forebear, the V7 strikes the perfect balance between vintage looks and everyday usability. With its unmistakable teardrop tank and the V-twin clearly visible at either side, it offers a natural, relaxed riding position.
Historical context
In the 1960s the original V7 was born to equip police forces and export markets with a robust, fast machine. The modern series, introduced in 2007 and later evolved through the V7 II, V7 III and V7 850 generations, has been the cornerstone of Moto Guzzi's renaissance.
Main versions
V7 Classic, V7 Cafe Classic, V7 Racer, V7 Special, V7 Stone, V7 III (Stone, Special, Anniversario, Rough, Milano), V7 850.
Trivia and anecdotes
The characteristic torque-reaction effect of the transverse twin (that slight lean to the right when you blip the throttle at a standstill) has become the true heartbeat recognised by Guzzi riders all over the world.
