== Overview ==
Moto Guzzi V 7 Classic














With the V7 Classic, Moto Guzzi kills two birds with one
stone: First, it celebrates the 40th birthday of the first Italian Maxi
Motorcycle created by Giulio Cesare Carcano and second, it gives its response to
the ever-increasing demand for classic, sophisticated, retro-design machines.
Just one glance at the V7 Classic brings the late 70s to
mind when motorbikes had an essential beauty that was formed by simple straight
lines embellished by chrome decorations.
The V7 Classic is a sort of hybrid of the various V7s.
Some of it comes from the luxurious Special like its chrome and decorations
and some from the Sport from which it takes its tank.
Other components that are symbols of a different era,
complete the picture like the spoked wheels, the cigar shaped silencers and
the flat quilted saddle.  These components commemorate a style that
exemplifies one of the best examples of Italian design from the 60s and 70s
using modern-day technology and engineering techniques.
The concept is embodied in an up-to-date twin cradle
frame, in the 750cc fuel injected engine governed by an ECU and in the many
items this machine has in common with the latest models in the Moto Guzzi
range.  The V7 Classic will be on sale from next Spring at entry level
in the range.
It will sit alongside models like the Breva and Nevada
750.  The Show in Milan will, for many people, be their first chance
they have of seeing the naked Breva V1200 tourer and the brand new Griso 8V
that will also be available in the classic red color scheme.



V7 Classic: A Tribute to a Legendary Moto Guzzi
In 1967, the motorcycle market reeled in shock at the appearance of the
first Italian maxi motorcycle.  Created by the legendary Giulio Cesare
Carcano, the Moto Guzzi V7 marked the debut of the transverse V90
twin-cylinder 703 cc engine that set a record at that time.

The V7 was enthusiastically acclaimed by the press and
public.  This success helped the worldwide promotion of Moto Guzzis
image as manufacturers of an exclusive, elegant, comfortable and above all,
highly reliable motorcycle.
For many people, owning a V7 was one of the most
important things in their lives.  It left them with unforgettable
memories that reminded them of their younger days, of friends and of
journeys made together and made that time perhaps one of the highest points
in Moto Guzzis history.
After a further forty years of success and, as part of
Moto Guzzis worldwide relaunch project, the flame of creativity shines
brightly once more in the new V7 Classic.  The V7 has character to
spare and is a superb interpretation of the fundamental beauty of the
original V7 but this time incorporating all the latest technology that was
unavailable to its predecessor.
The new machine is fully up-to-date with its equipment
levels, frame engineering and 750cc Euro 3 engine.  The V7 Classic
brings to mind the late 60s with the line of the tank that nestles
comfortably on the tubular frame and runs back to meet the saddle.

This, in turn, is perfectly flat and blends in
gracefully with the rear mudguard.  The side panels house the same
stowage compartments that so stylishly set off the side view of the original
machine.
Times gone by can also be seen in the gleaming chrome
finish on the exhaust system, the shock absorbers, rear light cluster, front
headlight and comfortable handlebars.  Just as on its predecessor, the
wheels too are spoked and shod with high profile sports tires.
The instrument panel houses analogue dials with
suitably dated graphics.  Although the V7 Classic is somewhat smaller
than other Moto Guzzis, it is ideally suited for carrying pillion passengers
with a comfortable saddle, convenient handholds and well positioned foot
pegs.
The Classic is easy to ride, instinctive and creates a
feeling of confidence right from the first time you climb aboard.  The
manageable size and excellent riding position are perfect for both town use
and longer mixed journeys.  Owners will no doubt have to answer
countless questions from curious onlookers about the white machine they are
riding when it looks just an original 1969 V 7 Special
Here are some photos of the V7 Classic and a table of
technical specifications from Moto Guzzi.  Also, be sure to read our
overview on the other new 2008 Moto Guzzis.  Enjoy!
