Overview

Moto Guzzi V7 III Carbon Shine

V7 III Limited stands out for its eclectic and modern look, blending elegant chrome and refined hi-tech materials.

An exclusive limited edition version in just 500 numbered units, the V7 III Limited combines the classic and elegant chromium look with refined hi-tech materials such as carbon fibre and aluminum. This is an eclectic and modern look that reiterates how well the V7 III lends itself to customisation, an extremely youthful bike but at the same time a 'Made in Italy' symbol, popular with a transversal and diverse public.

On the Moto Guzzi V7 III Limited, the numerous chromium plated parts are reminiscent of the purest Classic world, beginning with the chromium fuel tank, “wrapped” on the top under a black leather vintage-look strap. On the sides, the unmistakeable Moto Guzzi eagle is done in a particular burnished finish: after all, black is another recurring element on the V7 III Limited, from the alloy wheels to the saddle with “old school” stitching, as well as the typical pattern of carbon fibre, the material used for the front and rear fenders and the side panels. The locking fuel cap is made from billet aluminum, as are the handlebar risers which bear the model's laser inscribed serial number.

The Moto Guzzi 750 twin-cylinder also has a refined look, with the throttle body covers made of black anodised aluminum and the cylinder heads with milled cooling fins that create another contrasting effect. The essential instrumentation is a single, circular display with analogue speedometer and the other information contained on a digital display.

Chrome never looked so good The first reflection is obvious. This V7 III, which arrives on the market 51 years after the debut V7 created a stir in the world of Italian motorcycle culture, is loaded with reflective chrome. The gas tank will absorb much of the attention, its flowing design now enhanced with a mirror-like finish unlike anything ever created from the Eagle Brand. Chrome exhaust, mirrors, headlight ring and a passenger grab handle compliment the chrome finish of the limited-edition V7 III Carbon Shine. To further add to the personalized feel, traits that are evident due to the Carbon name, the shortened front fender and side fairings are designed from carbon fiber.

The shiny details don’t take away any natural Moto Guzzi character The second reflection is character - a trait that naturally arrives with every Moto Guzzi model since the brand was established in 1921. Much of this character arrives from its 744 cc engine, the opposed V-Twin creating a sound that only a Moto Guzzi can make. Further items that build upon the V7’s unique character are the retro single instrument panel, the uncluttered tailpiece, and those contemporary-styled alloy wheels.

Modern comfort with a classic look Besides a relaxed handlebar position, the V7 III’s seat is contoured for endless comfort. The seat is also designed with a new water-repellent Alcantara, a weather-resistant material that can withstand the sometimes harsh outdoor conditions.

Limited edition makes this V7 III family member truly unique Each V7 III Carbon Shine is serially numbered with a plate affixed to the handlebar risers. Only 1921 units are available, a number that reflects the year that Moto Guzzi was established. The Carbon models are the only members of the V7 III family built in limited and numbered production, following the proud tradition of having a limited-edition model in the range.
