Moto Guzzi's profilation of this bike
Return of a legend. We must step back 40 years to understand how the mythical Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, has evolved into today’s V7 Cafè Classic. In 1969 the Mandello del Lario mechanics increased the displacement of their transverse 90° V engine from 703 to 757cc which greatly increased the performance without diminishing the great reputation of reliability and sturdiness that was behind the success of the V7.
