MOTO GUZZI V7III RACER

New Year, new motorcycles! 2020 promises to bring news in the motorcycle industry, but there is a European brand that is willing to pull nostalgia and continue to take advantage of the pull of its most universal best seller. We refer to the almost centennial Italian firm Moto Guzzi and the redesign of its V7III Racer, the sports version of its most iconic motorcycle, which celebrates its tenth anniversary.

Moto Guzzi has taken advantage of its participation in the latest edition of the exclusive Milan EICMA Show to present its renewed Moto Guzzi V7III Racer 2020, pure glamor for lovers of classic motorcycling.

The talented engineers of the legendary firm of Mandello del Lario continue to rely on their 90-degree V-twin engine arranged transversely, but have worked on improving every detail of their new vintage aesthetic racer, without altering the originality of the first version, that's why the result is so authentic that it promises to satisfy all its followers.

In our post today we discover what are the points on which the Italian factory has been based to offer us a renewed V7III racer, without losing an iota of its romantic and elegant image.

When we talk about the Moto Guzzi V7III Racer we talk about the most sporty model, but also the most refined of the V7 range, born more than 50 years ago. There are several differences, both in technique and design, that make the latest Racer model a motorcycle out of series.

In terms of aesthetics, this neoclassical jewel retains its traditional lines, but this time it is committed to a bright 21-liter classic gasoline tank fully chrome, reminiscent of the original 2010 version, while recovering the ellipse side plates with the number 7, framed by an edge with the 'tricolore' flag. Details with which the Guzzi recalls its 14 GP world titles, 22 world records or its eleven wins in the ‘Tourist Trophy’ of the Isle of Man before stopping to compete in 1957.

But the highlight of the image of the Moto Guzzi V7III Racer 10 Anniversary is undoubtedly the new front fairing with a colorful visor dome, decorated with the graphic of a wide vertical red stripe and tenth anniversary lettering, in line With the chin. And of course, in the center, the new headlamp equipped with LED technology, as well as the turn indicators and the rear light. 

Also for the robust tubular double cradle chassis of the motorcycle, the spectacular painting ‘Rosso Corsa’ is maintained, a feature inspired by the first Sport version of the range, manufactured in 1971 and popularly known as ‘red chassis’.

In its unmistakable silhouette, two rear-view mirrors of bar or ‘bar end’ stand out as a novelty, while in the rear part a thinner and more elegant fender stands out, much more in tune with the refined sports aesthetic of the rest of the motorcycle.

Highlighting its ‘sport’ look and matching the black leather strap of the fuel tank, the black finish with red stitching of its single-seater seat with detachable hump, approved to accommodate a passenger.

Despite having handlebars and delayed stirrups, like the previous model, the driving position is not too radical, it would even be said that it is not uncomfortable to be a coffee racer, since it feels light and does not require efforts to handle it.

Other hallmarks that make the new Guzzi V7III Racer an unparalleled motorcycle are the details in anodized black aluminum handcrafted, the adjustable footrests, the lightened axle of the steering as well as the protection of the plate.

The new version maintains its part of the highest quality cycle, with a 744 cc twin-cylinder engine, as well as the fully adjustable Öhlins dual shock absorbers, which ensure greater effectiveness in road behavior.

Like its sister Stone S, who also had her long start at EICMA 2019, the Racer wears her 18 and 17 ’spoke wheels, with Dunlop Arrowmax Streetsmart tires of superior performance.

The price of this racer of retro dyes, which will remain limited and numbered, has not yet come to light, although we can get an idea of where the shots will go, considering that the current model is the most expensive of the V7III: €12.119.

Next, we leave you a magnificent video of Fuel Bros Bikes that will illustrate the meaning that the Guzzi V7III Racer has for two-wheel lovers. Go from here our special thanks to its author, Miki Bautista.
