2025 Moto Guzzi V7 Range – First Look

Nearly 60 years ago, the V7 hit the scene from Moto Guzzi. Revived in 2008 and last updated with the 853cc transverse V-Twin in 2021, it's time the V7 range got another update. Headlining these updates is the addition of the Sport model alongside the Stone and Special which receives a number of performance enhancing technologies.

For 2025, the entire V7 line gets ride-by-wire throttles making way for two ride modes, standard cruise control, traction control, and Euro 5+ compliance. In addition, the full range receives LED lighting, a new LCD dash in place of the analog clocks, new switchgears, and, most importantly, a new ergonomically shaped ignition key.

While the transverse V-Twin keeps the same 853 cc displacement, Moto Guzzi tells us its gained 2.3 hp 100 rpm further into the rev-range at 6,900 rpm while also boosting torque by 4.4 lb-ft lower in the revs at 4,400 rpm. Guzzi also claims 95% of the V7’s torque is available at 3,500 rpm. A 52 mm throttle body breathes through a 27% larger airbox while roller tappets, pushrods, and rocker arms move two valves per cylinder.

Road and Rain ride modes dial in throttle response and traction control settings and while TC can be disabled, ABS cannot.

The V7 Sport ups the ante with an inverted 41 mm preload-adjustable fork, dual 320 mm disc brakes clamped by Brembo monobloc calipers with “a more responsive master cylinder”, six-axis IMU-based TC and ABS, lighter alloy wheels (four pounds lighter than the Stone’s), and a dedicated Sport ride mode. Aluminum headlight brackets, bar-end mirrors, handlebar top clamp, aluminum inserts on the side panels, and a “sports seat” with red stitching round out other changes to the V7 Sport. Oh, it’s also the only one that gets a fuel level indicator.

“The V7 Special is closest to the spirit of the original model,” says Guzzi, “It is classic and elegant, with many chrome details, and comes in two striking glossy finishes: Nero Smeraldo and Bianco 1969.” The spoked wheels feature polished rims and black hubs. Like the other versions, it includes a single round digital display and an LED headlamp with a DRL outlining the Moto Guzzi eagle, framed by a chrome bezel. The V7 Special also features machined cylinder cooling fins and a dedicated black seat. Pricing is set at $10,190 with bikes available June 2025.
