MOTO GUZZI V7 Racer (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, after the warm welcome of the Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 Racer. This full-production machine offered many goodies, such as a chrome-finished fuel tank, a hand-finished frame, and updated cycle parts.

In the visual department, the bike was similar to the Clubman Racer version, packing standard features, such as a round headlight up front, a tiny visor, a chromed fuel tank, a single seat with a passenger seat cover, a chromed exhaust system, wire-spoke wheels with black-finished rims, and a red-finished frame and swingarm.

The bike was built around a double-cradle tubular steel frame with detachable elements. The frame was fitted on the front with a 40 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork and a cast-alloy swingarm with two fully adjustable Biturbo shock absorbers on the rear acting as suspensions.

In the braking department, the motorcycle packed a 320 mm floating disc coupled to a four-piston caliper and a 260 mm disc tied to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, providing excellent stopping power.

As for performance, the 2011 Moto Guzzi V7 Racer had its soul brought to life by a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine mounted underneath the bike's stylish fuel tank. As for the power figures, the engine produced 49 hp with a peak force at 6,800 rpm and 56 Nm (41 lb-ft) torque at 3,600 rpm.
