Day of the Deus

The V7 falls between that wonderful space between science and fiction. The now iconic transverse vee twin was the concept of chief engineer Guilio Carcano. Simple, solid and easy to work on the V7 has remained the bed rock of marquee. In 1967 a new designer emerged to lead Moto Guzzi – Lino Tonti. His breakthrough design was the V7 Sport. Focusing on a lighter / leaner philosophy he produced one of the best production bikes of the 1970s. Low and sleek, the V7 delivered a riding experience that encouraged a confident high speed experience. Capable of 200 km/h, the V7 Sport combines crisp and inventive good looks with raw 1970s handling characteristics. An absolute classic creation, this example is immaculate, receiving first place in the 2009 Moto Guzzi National Rally USA - Early Sport.
