Moto Guzzi V7 Sport 2025

Moto Guzzi V7 Sport 2025

The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is the best V7 that Moto Guzzi currently builds. The development department in Mandello del Lario improved exactly those points where the V7 Stone or Classic were a problem for dedicated riders: Brakes, adjustable fork, electronics and acceleration from the centre.

High-performance brakes

powerful engine centre

modern electronics package

good feel for the front wheel

successful further development of the V7 concept towards sport

nice details

Rear suspension with wooden reponsiveness

Sport mode too rough

display too dull for top model
