Description
This Moto Guzzi V7 Sport “Telaio Rosso” is one of the legendary first-series red-frame bikes, belonging to the ultra-rare batch of the initial 90 machines with VIN starting VK 11111. Carefully assembled in 1971 and delivered to a privileged Italian dealer, it later joined an Italian collection before becoming part of the lighthousemoto living and riding collection in 1998.
For more than five decades it has been cherished, exercised only on short pleasure rides and regular start-ups. The odometer shows just 10, 936 km, supported by its beautifully preserved condition and charming light patina. It carries a German vintage registration and still wears period-correct METZELER ME77 tyres, which perfectly match its character and deliver surprisingly nimble handling.
Only minor cosmetic marks – a gentle fall-over on the right toolbox and Lafranconi silencer, plus a small chrome loss around the left mirror thread – tell the story of a life actually lived. Complete with contemporary magazines, this Telaio Rosso is not just a bike; it is a rare opportunity to own a cornerstone of Moto Guzzi’s 50th anniversary history and the spiritual forefather of the iconic Le Mans
At VintageMotorcycles. nl, we believe in full transparency, every bike is sold in the condition it’s in at the time of sale.

This way, you decide how original — or how ready — your next classic should be.
