The Moto Guzzi V7 Stone was introduced for the 2014 riding season. The original V7 Café Classic was launched in 2009 as a sort of Italian Triumph Bonneville retro roadster and has been such a success that, like the British Bonneville, it has evolved into a whole family of machines. All are based around the ‘small block’ version of the classic Moto Guzzi transversely-mounted, shaft drive air-cooled V2. This is mounted in an equally classic, retro-style tubular steel twin shock roadster chassis which gives an evocative, pleasing retro ride that’s accessible to novices and smaller riders alike all at an affordable price. The V7 isn’t outstanding at any one thing but it arguably has more charm and authenticity than a Triumph and is very versatile, useable and has character and looks. It’s practical, easy and there’s no reason you couldn’t go touring around Europe on it. You immediately notice the roomier riding position while the upright rider’s stance on the Special and Stone is very natural. The wide bars, low centre of gravity, light clutch and small turning circle also make it a doddle around town. I can immediately see why inexperienced riders like it so much. The V7 may appear heavy but it only tops the scales at 189kg, lighter than a SV650. The 18-inch front and 17-inch rear makes the handling stable and predictable. You roll into corners more than dive towards the apex. The suspension is fairly basic but generally up to the job. On all, braking is taken care of by a single 320mm disc at the front grasped by a decent quality, four-piston Brembo caliper assisted by a similar but smaller unit at the rear. For a smaller, retro-style bike such as the V7 they are more than sufficient. The experience although not especially fast, is flexible, rich and evocative. You know you are riding a motorcycle on the V7. It’s a joy to twist the throttle and feel the torque reaction from the shaft drive gently rocking the bike to the right. There are vibrations but that’s what you get with an air-cooled transverse V twin and is part of the fun. Generally the V7 II is a fairly affordable bike to run, insurance, servicing and fuel costs are all on the low side. It is much like a Harley Davidson Sportster 48 Nightster series only lighter and with better suspension and brakes. The twin dials, though simple, are clean and classy, absolutely right for a bike of this type and come with a digital display with all relevant info.
