Moto Guzzi V7 Special 2021

Moto Guzzi V7 Special 2021

The Moto Guzzi V7 remains true to itself in 2021 and despite the new engine. With its 65 hp, the V7 Special 850 is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, but remains the same motorbike of pleasure with lots of Italian emotion and a mighty dollop of coolness. If you like classic style elements and decelerated riding dynamics, the Moto Guzzi V7 is probably one of the most authentic retro motorbikes on the market.

Wonderful pleasure bike

New 850cc engine brings 25% more power

Beautiful design

Guzzi virtues unchanged

Relaxed riding position

Crisp gearbox
