In 2015, the Italian motorcycle maker released the Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer, a new generation machine part of the V7 series, presented at the 2014 Intermot Show in Cologne. The bike represented a true evolution with respect to its predecessors.
The bike retained its unmistakable successful style but was offered with several modifications that improved its overall capabilities, like riding pleasure and user-friendliness, along with the style and elegance of Italian machines.
Some modifications were the modified mechanic's geometry, the 10 mm lower engine, which has also been forward inclined by four degrees, offering a lower center of gravity and more leg room for the rider, and 2.5 cm lower-mounted footpegs that can better accommodate taller riders.
The bike's retro appearance was characterized by standard features, such as a single seat with a pillion seat cover, a low handlebar, a round headlight up front, a dual exhaust system with a muffler on each side, and wire-spoke wheels with black-finished rims.
Instead of a five-speed gearbox, the bike was fitted with a six-speed transmission operated by a dry single-plate clutch, offering a more relaxed riding experience at highway speeds. The power from the engine was transferred to the rear end through a final shaft drive.
As for power, the 2015 Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer had installed a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine into the red-finished frame, delivering 48 hp at 6,250 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
