Description
This Moto Guzzi V7 Sport was restored by the prior owner as a Guzzi specialist, subsequently I have completed further detailed restoration work including a new set of reproduction silencers to match the original design imported from Italy, fitting the correct tank decals, a new set of pistons and chrome lined cylinders from the original manufacturer, again imported from Italy. When I acquired the bike in 2020 I was specifically looking for the original twin leading shoe front brakes and Borrani rims vs the later disc brake models. For a shorter rider the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport has a low seat height, combined with a low centre of gravity. The excellent handling of the classic Tonti frame and torque of the 750cc V twin make this an enjoyable ride on twisty on A and B roads.
At some stage the clocks have been renovated / replaced, hence the original mileage is unknown vs ~ 670 miles on the clock, however the Tonti based V twins are well known for their longevity and durability. A relatively rare, anttractive and classic Moto Guzzi V twin that slots nicely into current trend and desirability of retro designs, whilst providing plenty of torque and excellent handing for sunny days and twisty roads.
It starts on the button, idles nicely. A lot of the chrome fittings are of a better quality than later Moto Guzzi’s, when the focus at the factory switched to margins and profit vs high quality after they were acquired by De Tomaso.
