The V7 Special really is my kind of bike, classic styling, twin clocks, shaft drive and an engine that simply has bucket loads of character, seriously what's not to like.
The Moto Guzzi V7 Special delivers authentic Italian character with its 853cc transverse V-twin engine producing 65 horsepower, wrapped in classic styling that turns heads at every petrol station. After testing this beautifully crafted machine through Sydney's roads and national parks, it's clear this bike prioritizes soul over speed – and that's exactly the point.
Priced at $19,630, the V7 Special features spoked alloy wheels, gorgeous brown leather seat, dual Kayaba shocks with preload adjustment, and essential electronics including ABS and traction control. The low 780mm seat height and 223kg wet weight make it accessible, while the shaft drive eliminates chain maintenance concerns.
For riders seeking character over clinical perfection, the V7 Special offers genuine Moto Guzzi heritage in a beautifully finished, reliable package that stands out from the Triumph and Royal Enfield crowd.
