So once upon a time, I went against all my sportsbike instincts and got myself a rather charming brand new 2012 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone in matt black, and it turned my biking world upside down!
I have had this bike 7 years now, and through thick and thin, the bike has always been reliable and fun.
The Moto Guzzi V7 comes in several different variants; the V7 Classic, V7 Stone, V7 Racer, V7 Special, V7 Rough, V7 Anniversario, V7 Carbon & the V7 Milano. It has gone through several generations of the V7: V7ii, V7iii. I wonder what the V7iv will be like, or if it will retain the 750cc configuration as the V85 seems to be a natural progression!
I am not very good at bike reviews, so this may not be your cup of tea, but please rest assured, that if you have not already taken a test ride on a Moto Guzzi V7, you really ought to!
My Moto Guzzi V7 has been very much modified since I first got it. It now sports Kineo tubeless wire spoke wheels, KTech front fork cartridges, Hagon rear shocks, Renthal bars, MotoGadget Micro Dash, a chopped down rear subframe and custom seat as well as custom paint and underseat mural, to some it maybe a little hipster and impractical, but to me the built not bought has me with a totally unique motorcycle that shows up bikes it has no business biting the ankles of on track as well as the street!
