In 2009, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic, a slightly different motorcycle than the base model that packed the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the 2008 Cafe Classic model.
The Moto Guzzi V7 Classic was a retro-looking motorcycle presented at the 2007 Milan Motorcycle Show as a proposal for the vintage-style motorcycle market. The bike was based on the Breva 750 model and featured limited chassis and engine variations.
Compared to the base model, the Cafe Classic version had the same shape, the same Lagnano Green livery as the V7 Sport version, a seat with an integrated tail, and a raised dual-exhaust system.
The bike packed standard features in the visual department, such as wire-spoke wheels, a dual exhaust system, side-mounted rear shocks, a one-piece dual seat, a low handlebar, and a round headlight up front with instruments mounted on top.
Underneath its fuel tank, the engineers fitted the 2009 Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic with a 744cc four-stroke V-twin air-cooled engine with a Weber-Marelli fuel injection system in charge, boasting 49 hp at 6,800 rpm and 57 Nm (42 lb-ft) torque at 3,600 rpm.
The braking performance was achieved by a 320 mm floating disc on the front coupled to a four-piston caliper and a 260 mm disc on the rear wheel tied to a single-piston caliper.
