Moto Guzzi V7 Sport

Moto Guzzi launched this sports motorcycle in 1971. The Italian company took inspiration from the V7 Roadster when it created this model. It gave the bike a new design and clip-on handlebars. Compared to the older model, it was less heavy and boasted better handling. This explains why it went on to be a bigger hit than the V7. In 2008, the company revealed its “V7 Special” to honor this ‘70s model.
