New Moto Guzzi V7's For 2021
T
he 2021 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone
and V7 Special (mechanically
similar, aesthetically different) will
be graced with the same 853cc,
transverse V-twin motor as pres-
ent in the V85 TT Travel we tested
back in July, bumping capacity up
another 100cc and delivering a 25
percent increase in peak horse-
power. Moto Guzzi claims the new
motor in the V7 duo will produce
52 horsepower at 6200 rpm, with
torque now rated at 53 lb-ft at
5000 rpm.
Under the skin, the chassis gets
a stiffer headstock for better han-
dling, longer travel twin rear shock
absorbers, new footpeg support
brackets, rear mudguard and side
panels and a new two-tier seat.
Guzzi engineers have also fitted a
wider rear wheel, with tire size going
up from 130/80-17 to 150/70-17.
The Stone will get the full LED
light system and a Daytime Running
Light (DRL) in the shape of the Moto
Guzzi Eagle, black aluminum wheels,
shocks, exhausts and fork gaiters
along with a digital instrument cluster.
The Special will be graced with
lashings of chrome in the spoked
wheels, exhausts, shocks, mirrors
and passenger grab rail, plus the
classic dual-dial analog instrument
cluster for speedometer and rev
counter.
The V7 Stone will retail for $8990,
while the Special will fetch $9490.
Expect both models to be on dealer
floors by March of next year. CN
