Moto Guzzi V7 Sport 2025

Moto Guzzi has done a lot of things right with the reorientation of the V7. The changes to the engine for Euro5+ deserve great praise, because not only has the typical character of the air-cooled V2 been retained, but there is now significantly more torque and power available, especially in the mid-range. The fact that the V7 Sport even has a 6-axle IMU with cornering ABS is a perfect match for the new 320 mm double disc brake, which raises the V7's brakes by two classes. What remains are the relatively stiff shocks and the LC dashboard, which does not suit the V7 Special as well as the previous analogue clocks. All in all, the V7 2025 series is a great success.

Motor can be used very well over the entire range

brakes good in both bite and modulation

unmistakable character

Lacklustre LC display

"Wooden" shocks
