Moto Guzzi V 7 Special SPECIFICATIONS, PRICE & IMAGES
brand new equipment: the legend of the V7 reaches
its highest expression.
project begins with an examination of its identity: elegant, Italian, two cylinder, affordable and with a unique history. In order
to preserve the traits of this personality and project it into the future, the
only path that could be taken was that of totally innovating it within a
perimeter of tradition delimited by its technical specifications and its design
style. This is why we can say that the V7 is a completely new bike, more
powerful, faster, thriftier, more ecological, better refined and more
comfortable than the previous version, and yet still with a cardan shaft driven
90° transversal V two cylinder engine and double frame. That is, the distinctive
elements of a tradition which has its roots in an idea conceived in 1967:the
Moto Guzzi V7 700cc.
which is a summary of the design philosophy for the entire bike: innovation
which respects tradition. And so it is that the square finning, legacy of
production from the 1980s, passed the baton to a rounded shape which is
reminiscent of the first generation of two cylinders from Mandello.
the disappearance of the two intake manifolds and relative throttle bodies: in
fact, the new small block is the first single throttle Moto Guzzi engine.
DESIGN: SKILFUL ALCHEMY BETWEEN TRADITION AND
MODERNISM.
THE FRAME: THE CERTAINTY OF THE DOUBLE CRADLE, THE NEW, LIGHTENED WHEELS.
The entire range is now equipped with one of two different types of new wheels: in lightweight alloy with doubled six spokes for the V7, spoked with new
aluminium rim for Special and Racer. A reduction in weight for all three
compared to the previous version which means an advantage in terms of gyroscopic
inertia which translates on the road into greater agility and superlative feel.
s masterpiece: the V7
Sport. The designer from Forlì had clear ideas and he set the three parameters
of the sport bike from Mandello:200 km/h, 200 kg, 5 gears. To reach the
objective he made some changes to the engine, taking the displacement to 748.3
cc and the power to more than 52 hp, redesigning the crankshaft and camshafts,
in addition to placing the alternator in the front in order to keep the vertical
bulk down.
