Segment: Clasic
Production years: 2009, 2010
In 2009, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic, a motorcycle presented at the 2007 Milan Motorcycle Show and produced in the same year. The bike was intended as a proposal for the vintage-style motorcycle market.
The 2009 motorcycle was in its third year of production and retained all the vibe of the original machine but loaded with even more technology, making riding even more rewarding.
The bike's visual appearance was characterized by standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a large fuel tank, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab handles, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and wire spoke wheels.
It was built around an ASL steel tubular dismountable twin-cradle frame with a 40 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork on the front providing 130 mm of travel and a lightweight aluminum swingarm with preload-adjustable twin shocks on the rear, providing 118 mm of travel.
The braking power was handled by a 320 mm floating disc on the front wheel with a four-piston caliper and a 260 mm disc on the rear wheel tied to a single-piston caliper, offering optimum braking performance.
The 2009 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic had its soul brought to life by a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by a fuel injection system, boasting 49 hp at 6,800 rpm and 56 Nm (41 lb-ft) torque at 3,600 rpm.
