In 1967 the first Italian bike appeared on the motorcycle market: the Moto Guzzi V7. The brainchild of Giulio Cesare Carcano, the V7 made its debut with a 2-clylinder 90° V-twin mounted across the frame and a cylinder capacity of 703cc, a record for the time. The bike was an immediate success with both press and public, and the V7 helped make Moto Guzzi’s name throughout the world, as a producer of prestigious, comfortable, elegant and reliable motorcycles. For many owners it was the expression of an important part of their lives, youthful memories of carefree times, trips with friends, creating a historical reminiscent period for the brand.
Forty years later, this heritage, along with the relaunch of the brand, is the basis of the inspiration behind the new V7 Classic. Modern technical equipment has been implemented into this new model which is powered by a Euro 3 750cc engine and the latest technology. The charm of the V7 Classic is also expressed by the bright chrome work, such as on the exhaust pipes, the shock absorbers, the rear and front lights, the handlebars and the surround of the speedometer and rev counter. The new V7 Classic has a strong identity and classic styling which reflects the original V7.
