Moto Guzzi V7 Racer

The Moto Guzzi V7 Racer pays homage to the extraordinary racing career of the V7 Sport. The Moto Guzzi V7 Racer offers the classic style of the Moto Guzzi marquee in a perfectly balanced mix of craftsmanship and technology. With a feisty motor, number plate, and solo saddle, the eye-catching V7 Racer harkens back to the glories of yesteryear-only topped off with modern engineering to make every turn a visceral experience.

Tradition can be so thrilling sometimes.

The Moto Guzzi V7 Raers remains an homage in design to the cafe racer motorcycles of the 1950s and 1960s, combined with the modern features of an Italian-engineered motorcycle. Featuring a new and more powerful  750cc, 90-degree V-Twin motor and new lightweight, six split spoke aluminium wheels, the V7 Racer brings together classic style and craftsmanship.

The completely re-engineered 750cc engine still relies on the engineering that made the Moto Guzzi V50 a success among riders in 1977. Since then the engine has been continuously updated yet stats faithful to the original genial layout introduced by Italian engineer Lino Tonti in the 70s and stays true to the characteristics of the Moto Guzzi tradition, that touring on a motorcycle at its most pure should be nothing but enjoyable.

While maintaining the classic 90 V configuration, the engine is now comprised of more that 70% new components. Cutting-edge technological solutions have been used to improve functionality, provide greater torque and power even at low rpm, and be more efficient, with higher fuel economy and reduced emissions. The new engine is more powerful and stays true to the characteristics of the Moto Guzzi tradition, that touring on a motorcycle at its most pure should be nothing but enjoyable.

The new tank brings with it a superior metallic construction that allows for a lighter tank along with a greater fuel capacity - the V7 Racer can hold a record 5.8 gallons which, together with reduced consumption, ensures a range of up to 310 miles.

The distinctiveness of the V7 Racer design is sporty and attention - getting in all the right ways. A new chrome fuel tank finished with a studded leather strap, a single-saddle suede seat with an aerodynamic seat cowl and '70-style racer number plates mean the added engine performance is showcased right along with classic style. One look, and a rider will know that the V7 Racer speaks for itself.

The Moto Guzzi V7 Racer, iconic and prodigiously manufactured in Italy, will be available in 2013 in U.S. dealerships.

As with all of Moto Guzzi's on-road motorcycles, the V7 Racer comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty and roadside assistance for one year.
