The appeal
Masters of retro, Moto Guzzi introduced the V7 Racer in 2008 and overhauled it in 2014 when they brought in the V7 II range. Coming in three specifications, all utilising the same platform but with altered styling, the Stone, Special and Racer. Stone was the basic model; the Special was more retro themed, and the Racer was the full ‘Café Racer’ styling.
This example has only done 823 miles since 2015 and remains in a near new condition having been kept in a garage with its current owner. Hopefully the video and photos give you an idea of just how good of condition this bike is in.
