Although the 2015 Moto Guzzi V7 might look pretty much identical to its predecessor, a comprehensive series of technical enhancements means that the new ‘II’ suffix is justified.
Key among them is the introduction of an electronic traction control system and two-channel anti-lock brakes.

The 744 cc V-twin engine is unchanged, but it has been tilted forward by 4° and now sits 10 mm (0.4”) lower. As a result there’s some extra knee room which, together with a revised footpeg position, should make the V7 II more appealing to taller customers.
One area that has received a lot of focus is the transmission. A six-speed gearbox features for the first time, while a modified clutch is intended to give a smoother riding experience.

As before, three versions of the V7 II are going to be available when deliveries begin across Europe next month. Along with the entry-level Stone, the range consists of the 1970s-inspired Special and the Racer, which features a very distinctive chrome fuel tank and unique handlebars.
Moto Guzzi has yet to announce UK prices.
