 The new machine is fully up-to-date with its equipment levels, frame
engineering and 750cc Euro 3 engine. The V7 Classic brings earlier
days to mind 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 the comfortable handlebars that house the chromed rev counter and speedometer. Just as on its predecessor, the wheels too are spoked and shod with high profile sports tyres while the instrument panel with its retro-style graphics houses two modern displays that provide information on operating and diagnostic parameters.
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 footpegs. The V7
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. The sheer pleasure of riding the machine will
be enhanced even further by owners having to answer countless
questions from curious onlookers about the white machine they are
riding as it looks just like its famed predecessor.
