V7 Sport 1972-1974 Tech Spec

V7 SportUnusual view of the revolutionary V7 Sport from a period Moto Guzzi marketing image and taken in the famed Mandello wind tunnel.

When Carcano retired, Lino Tonti was appointed as his successor. The idea for a V7 engined sports biased machine thus gained a designer who not only possessed the engineering nouse...but who was also a motorcyclist so from the start this was gonna be a rider's bike...no committee decision crap here!

The result? Only one of the iconic machines of the era and one of the most alluring of the classic Moto Guzzi machines. This was a bike that spawned a legendary motorcycling legend, that took the unquestionable Guzzi racing heritage from the eagle's first 50 years and took it forward to a new generation...with style!
