The Appeal
The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport hails from a pivotal moment in Italian motorcycle history, being one of the first production bikes capable of reaching 200 km/h while offering handling to match its performance. Producing 52 bhp at the rear wheel, the V7 Sport was one of the most powerful bikes of the era, cementing its status as a '70s icon.
This 1972 example stands out for its factory-fitted front disc brakes, a rare option for this model that offered vastly superior stopping power compared to the drum brakes typically fitted to motorcycles of this era. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration, this V7 Sport presents beautifully in its striking original lime green paintwork and comes with an impressive history file.
The vendor summarises:
"This is a great opportunity to own a very rare piece of motorcycle history. Which has been well-cared-for and is ready to ride."
