In the V7 Classic, Moto Guzzi is again offering a motorcycle with classic, timeless lines in homage to true Moto Guzzi elegance and style.

Equipped with a classic 750 cc engine and with looks characterised by the flat contour of the tank and seat, the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic is an impressively enjoyable and versatile machine, capable of delivering immense satisfaction mile after mile.

The V7 Classic is also so easy to ride that it is a great machine to use around town, where its unique styling is destined to add to the pleasure of riding a Moto Guzzi.

It's a petit bike by modern Guzzi standards, but also light and manageable with a dry weight of only 182kg.

The V7 Classic's 750 engine is thoroughly modern inside with fuel injection and a catalyst for emissions and 50 bhp @ 6,800 rpm and 54 Nm of torque @ 3,600 rpm, all built to modern Moto Guzzi's excellent quality standards.

In keeping with the classic image, the frame is a tubular steel cradle suspended by 40mm Marzocchi front forks and Brembo brakes. The pillion seat whilst looking quite small is ample to carry a pillion in comfort.

The engine drives a 5 speed gearbox and Guzzi's famous shaft drive.

The fuel tank holds 17 litres.

UPDATE 03/11/08: Moto Guzzi has today in Milan released the details of the new V7 Café. Inspired by the legendary V7 Sport from 1972, the V7 Café Classic has the same streamlined style that, in the early 70s, marked the birth of the Italian sports Maxi. Other components that are symbols of a different era complete the picture like the low-set, clip-on handlebars, the spoked wheels, the raised silencers and the saddle with its integrated tail cone, the instruments resemble the famed white-faced Veglia Borletti ones from the past and the new green colour scheme. Technically speaking, the V7 Café Classic differs from its Tourer sister in having twin raised silencers that, apart from increasing ground clearance, provide a sportier exhaust note more suited to this model. The Café Classic will be available in Italy from February 2009. See the pictures on the bottom right.

UPDATE 05/10/10: At the Cologne Show we saw the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic Racer. The ultimate in retro cool for the gentleman rider apparently. As well as a competent current age motorcycle, it's a work of historical engeering art. A modern classic if there ever was one. See here.
