MOTO GUZZI V7 Classic (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi V7 Classic was a naked motorcycle presented at the 2007 Milan Motorcycle Show as a proposal for the vintage-style motorcycle market. It was based on the Breva 750 model with limited chassis and engine variations.

It was intended to recall two successful models of the past, like the V7 Special manufactured in 1969 and the V7 Sport produced in 1972, representing Moto Guzzi's manufacturing success since the Second World War.

In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic, a motorcycle that carried on the legendary heritage of retro Moto Guzzi machines with pure, unadulterated, time-approved styling complemented by modern technology.

Compared to the Breva model, the V7 Classic packs the same fuel tank, instruments, and side panels as the V7 Sport model and the same white color scheme as the V7 special version.

In the visual department, the bike was fitted with features such as a round headlight on the front with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, side-mounted rear shocks, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

As for power, the 2007 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic had installed a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine underneath its fuel tank managed by a fuel injection system. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 48 hp at 6,800 rpm and 56 Nm (41 lb-ft) torque at 3,600 rpm.
