Doses of change have come alongside the new roman numeral for this entry-level classic that remains a quality and affordable standard. 2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone Editor Score: 82.0% Engine 17.0/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 7.0/10 Brakes 8.0/10 Instruments/Controls 3.0/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 8.0/10 Appearance/Quality 9.0/10 Desirability 8.0/10 Value 9.0/10 Overall Score 82/100 With Moto Guzzi’s signature longitudinally mounted 744cc air-cooled powerplant protruding from its gills, wrapped in a classic-bike bun, alongside modern features such as ABS and traction control, the V7 III Stone is a solid package for the pleasantly affordable $7,990 price tag.

2012 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone, V7 Special and V7 Racer

Moto Guzzi presented its 2012 V7 featuring three models and the Piaggio-owned brand’s new 750cc V-Twin engine. The three models were previously introduced at the 2011 EICMA show as the V7, two-toned V7 Special and the shiny V7 Racer. Moto Guzzi has since given the matte V7 version a new name: the V7 Stone.

An ultra-rare Moto Guzzi V8 race bike will make an appearance at the Race Retro show this weekend. The Stoneleigh Park event takes place 27-28-29 Feb. But rather than just marvelling at the static exhibit you can hear it running, too.
