MOTO GUZZI V7 II Racer (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer, which, like other machines in the V7 series, received several modifications, placing it in a new generation.

The 2014 V7 II Racer featured a new close-ratio transmission with an additional 6th gear and a new clutch that allowed for a more relaxed riding experience at highway speeds and a higher rev limit.

In addition to the new transmission, the bike's engine has been lowered to achieve a lower center of gravity. Due to its lowered engine, the motorcycle offered better stability and improved maneuverability. Also, it came with traction control and ABS as standard.

The V7 II Race had the most aggressive design among its siblings, packing a racing red frame and swingarm complemented by chromed accents, enhancing its bold and aggressive overall design.

It was fitted with standard features, such as a single brown leather seat and a passenger seat cover, a low handlebar, a round headlight with a small visor on top, a dual chromed exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels with blacked-out rims.

In the performance department, the 2014 Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer had its soul brought to life by a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 50 hp at 6,200 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
