Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2024 - Motorcycles on Sunday the 10th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
Designed by Lino Tonti and introduced in 1971, based on the V7 Roadster but lighter with a new frame and clip-on bars
Allegedly the fastest production bike of the time until the Kawasaki Z1 was launched in 1972
Sporty 'Café Racer' looks and good performance made the V7 Sport a great success for Moto Guzzi with various celebrity owners including Mike Hailwood
The model was later replaced by the 850 Le Mans
This 1972 US-market example is presented in very good restored condition and in running order
Originally registered new in California and complete with its last US-title
Restored in the US between 2001 and 2003 with documented maintenance since then
Complete with large history file containing numerous receipts, invoices, photos and related paperwork
Recent overhaul in 2023 that included carburettor rebuild, service, new points and condenser
Great example of this classic 'Café Racer'
UK-registered on a current V5C
