Unveiled as a concept bike at the 2009 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, the Racer managed to attract a high customer demand, which convinced Moto Guzzi to offer the bike on a made-to-order basis. The Moto Guzzi V7 Racer limited edition machine is already available for order in the United States, and wears a price tag of $9,790.
This limited run model comes as a special-edition of its V7 Classic with the custom look of a 1960s road racing machine.
Powered by the same fuel-injected 744cc V-Twin engine (developing 49 hp at 6800 rpm and 40 ft-lb of torque at 3600) as the V7 Classic, the V7 Racer is more about the looks. Special features include a red frame that was inspired by the earliest V7 Sport models, and which is paired to matching red hubs and swing arm.
The motorcycle also features a leather strapped chrome tank created using what Moto Guzzi calls an innovative metal particle deposition technology.
