The Moto Guzzi V7 Racer was originally presented to us as a special edition model at last year’s EICMA show, and was called the V7 Clubman.
But the market wanted this little café racer with the Guzzi 750 engine so badly that here she is in production form.
And if you like shiny, vintage sex-appeal, the Moto Guzzi V7 Racer has it all.
The new Guzzi V7 Racer revives everything that Italian vintage racers were known for – impressive mechanics and chassis and good looks.
The Moto Guzzi V7 models also comes in Classic and Café styles, all with their vintage touch, but the Racer model is about old-school sports racing style.
The good looks of the V7 Racer are epitomised by the classic frame, chrome tank, touches of red colour, and leather and aluminium features that appear.
Other stand-out features are the red rear shocks and the beautiful spoked wheels, while features that appeared on the EICMA version have disappeared such as non-homologated instrumentation that featured only a rev counter, short rear end and exaggerated handlebars.
The rest has been faithfully preserved and the result is just lovely.
On the technical front, the Moto Guzzi V7 Racer has 18-inch wheels, 320 mm front disc brakes with Brembo calipers, and an optional Arrow exhaust will get you more performance out of the otherwise standard 750cc, 90-degree V-Twin engine.
Overall, this all about beautiful vintage looks and the V7 Racer will even be produced with series numbered plates meaning not everyone will get one.
This is strictly for the gentleman rider in you.
