Moto Guzzi Fast Endurance Trophy

 

After the circuit of Vallelunga close to Roma and the circuit of Cremona, the next Moto Guzzi Fast Endurance Trophy race will take place on August 27th at the emblematic Mugello circuit, the dream of any true racing enthusiast, before finally finishing in Misano on October 14th and 15th. The protagonists are teams that share the saddle of the Moto Guzzi V7 with an 850 cc engine, equipped with an even more evolved and improved GCorse Racing kit, for an ever higher performance and stronger emotions. The formula remains that of "fast endurance", with teams of two pilots and races of 60 minutes for the round of Vallelunga and the mini endurance on Sunday at Misano, 75 minutes for Mugello and 90 minutes for the circuit of Cremona and the night race of Misano.

Moto Guzzi V7 Police

Originally, the first V7 marketed from 1967 was designed to equip the Italian police, following a competition launched in the early 1960s. It was designed by Giulio Cesare Carcano. Its engine is often mistakenly compared to that developed for the Autoveicolo da Montagna 3x3 and used by the army, also called the "mechanical mule", itself similar to the aborted engine project of the Fiat 5002. Giulio Cesare Carcano makes note that if these engines have in common to be V-twins, they are nevertheless totally different and the fruit of different ideas. According to Umberto Todero, they have nothing in common. The 703.3 cc 90° open V-twin, mounted longitudinally in the V7's double-cradle frame, develops 40 bhp. Braking is provided by two 220 mm drums, double cam at the front and single cam at the rear. It was not until the 1965 Milan Motor Show that the civilian version was presented. Compared to the police models, the civilian V7 gains around ten horsepower and loses 20 kg.

In 1969, the V7 Special presented the first evolution of the V7. The displacement increases to 757 cm3 by a 3 mm increase in the bore, which induces a gain of 5 hp. Its aesthetics are slightly modified. It is only available in white, with red stripes on the tank, front fender and side covers. It is marketed until 1971.

The V7 Special is lined with a V7 Ambassador, reserved for the American market: a large handlebar, a different saddle and chrome cylinder guards. The V7 Special retained a right-side gearshift, while the US Ambassador is shifted on the left

New Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 850

 

A masterpiece that combines minimalist style and the unmistakable Moto Guzzi attitude, the iconic transverse V twin-cylinder gets an extra injection of power, delivering an unprecedented riding experience. The unique spirit of the original remains untouched, however, while with its refined chassis and ergonomics, exceptional handling and stability, the V7 STONE offers plenty of comfort for both rider and lucky passenger. The new 850cc Euro 5-compliant engine is noteworthy also for its increased volume and the new layout of its oversize exhaust manifold. In terms of looks, this model has barely strayed from the usual Moto Guzzi style, but when it comes to performance, we’re talking about an epic shift in terms of performance, reliability and riding pleasure.
