MOTO GUZZI V7 II Stornello (2016-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Moto Guzzi V7 II was a new generation of V7 motorcycles manufactured by Moto Guzzi in Mandello del Lario between 2014 and 2016. The first one was presented at the Intermot Show in Cologne as a modern classic and released in November 2014 as a 2015 model year.

The V7 name was reintroduced in 2008 as a marketing strategy, referring to the successful V7 models of the 1960s and 1970s. The V7 II name has been used since 2015 for four versions, including V7 II Stone, Special, Racer, and Stornello.

In 2016, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 II Stornello, a retro-styled machine with prestigious Italian-made parts and a dedicated selection of color schemes.

The V7 II Stornelo was Moto Guzzi's latest representative, showing its ability to create exclusive and truly factory specials with great attention to detail and quality, almost making the machine a collector's item.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 2016 Moto Guzzi V7 II Stornello had installed a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 48 hp at 6,700 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 3,250 rpm.

As for aesthetics, the bike delivered a bucket of colors that enhanced its retro design, including a racing red-finished frame, a silver-finished fuel tank complemented by red stripes, and a blacked-out engine.
