Overview

Moto Guzzi V 7 II Café Racer Kit

ORIGINAL MOTO GUZZI V7 II ACCESSORIES: AN EVER-WIDENING RANGE... The birth of the V7 II marks a significant turning point in the Moto Guzzi accessories range. In fact, the "Eagle Brand" introduces a wide range of accessories dedicated to the "V7 family" on the market. In fact, simultaneously with the Moto Guzzi V7 II commercial launch more than 60 brand new accessories will be available to allow a totally unique level of personalization. In addition to the vehicle accessories line, which will now be in excess of 90 different items with these important new products, from the beginning of 2015 there will also be brand new helmets as well as technical and lifestyle apparel to complete a 100% 'Made in Guzzi' style. Another extremely important aspect was the design and development of each part in order to guarantee and maintain the vehicle's original functional characteristics, obtaining a personalised and entirely original vehicle which is at the same time perfectly compatible with the basic version. To facilitate the orientation and the choice of the most impassioned V7 customers, four new "reference worlds" were identified, in other words, four kits within which each Guzzista will be able to find his or her own personal taste and customisation formula whilst still leaving a vast range of possibilities for creating their own tailor-made V7, choosing from within the entire range. DAPPER: accessories developed and made to recreate the Café Racer world that attracts so much attention on the global motorcycling scene. In fact, the leitmotiv of the project is to enhance the '70s era through the creation of polished aluminum accessories (mudguards, injector covers, guards, number plates) and accessories such as the low handlebar and the single-seat saddle that convey an attractive riding set-up derived directly from the racing world. Some of the exclusive accessories are the exclusive handlebar mirrors with a vintage design reinterpreted in a modern and current key.

Already well known since it was launched with the previous V7 model year is the RECORD kit formula: a name that brings to mind the Moto Guzzi V7 prototype that broke 19 speed records in the early '70s. The shape of the components in the kit are reminiscent of the aerodynamic solutions which were so typical of the '70s era racer. The kit includes a rounded top fairing that houses the V7's single headlight, characterised by side profiles that connect to the fuel tank area and a saddle that includes the single-seat tail fairing, shaped to form a spoiler at the end. The sporty seating position is made of a special dual-component foamy material which is both fire retardant and waterproof. It has form memory and top shelf technology derived directly from the competition world. The components are made in fibreglass and they comply with approval standards. They are easy to install, thanks to the fixing brackets (for the top fairing) in laser cut, sanded steel. The Record kit is available for both the Stone and the Special with the addition of the semi-handlebar kit.

All of the elements that make up the various configurations will be available for purchase individually in order to further exploit the customer's imagination and creativity. They will be available on the market from January 2015. Another particularly important aspect is that the elements can be used both on the new V7 II which has just been introduced and on the first generation Moto Guzzi V7 which is already on roads all over the world. In fact, the new accessories will allow those who have already owned a Moto Guzzi for a few years to change the look of their bikes, renewing it and thereby entering the world of special bikes easily and simply.
