2026 Moto Guzzi V7 Special

For over 50 years, the V7 has symbolised authenticity, fun and riding enjoyment. Today the V7 legend is back with more character and more technology but what hasn’t changed is its eternal appeal. Meet the V7 Stone, V7 Special and V7 Sport – three versions designed to express every facet of the Moto Guzzi soul. Whatever your style, you’ll find a V7 that alights your passion.

Style and attention to detail combine with technology to showcase the V7’s legendary charisma. Iconic V7 elements such as the sculpted 21-litre fuel tank and cylinder heads –symbol of the Mandello V-Twin – remain, but the engine has been fine-tuned and performance elements enhanced. On the aesthetics front, it features sinuous lines and DRLs designed to form the eagle outline and leave no doubt that this is a true Moto Guzzi.

The classic air-cooled, transverse V-twin engine with shaft drive maintains its unique architecture but is now Euro 5+ compliant. With max power of 67.3 hp at 6900 rpm and torque of 79 Nm at 4400 rpm, the V7 delivers smooth, responsive output that is noticeably grunty at low and medium revs. In short, an electrifying core that will deliver the thrills every single ride.

The V7’s electronics package ensures safe, comfortable riding courtesy of ABS, Cruise Control and a Ride-by-Wire electronic throttle that optimises fuel consumption and activates the various riding modes. And, if you choose the V7 Sport, you also get six-axis IMU with Cornering ABS and Cornering Traction Control, which regulate braking and traction in line with lean angle. On top of this you can opt for SPORT riding mode (together with ROAD and RAIN), which uses a more reactive engine map that is ideal if yuu are after fun, dynamic riding.

With its traditional chrome details and glossy liveries, the Moto Guzzi V7 Special embodies the spirit of the original model. The iconic lines that have enraptured bikers all around the world for almost seventy years combine with the contemporary technology, authenticity and elegance that express the Moto Guzzi DNA to perfection.

Features may include:

• Faithful to its origins

The iconic design of the V7 Special is showcased in the chrome passenger grab handle, the spoked wheels with glossy channels and black hubcaps, the headlight with its chrome frame and DRLs that create the unmistakable Moto Guzzi eagle silhouette. The 21-litre fuel tank, the largest in the category, frames the V engine, while the short rear mudguard and exhaust terminals give an elegant look to the bike’s lines. The milled cooling fins on the cylinder heads and the logoed ignition key reflect Moto Guzzi’s renowned meticulous attention to detail.

• Moto Guzzi core

The Moto Guzzi V7 Special’s engine is the one and only 90° transverse air-cooled V-twin with shaft drive. Upgraded to Euro 5+ standards and with 853 cc, it delivers 67.3 hp at 6900 rpm and torque of 79 Nm at 4400 rpm, performing particularly well in mid and lower revs. In short, advanced performance, improved efficiency and of course the distinctive Moto Guzzi sound.

• Seat comfort

The refinement of the Moto Guzzi V7 Special extends to its electronics, allowing for a fully customisable riding experience. The multi-map Ride-by-Wire throttle ensures optimal power delivery, while MGCT (Moto Guzzi Traction Control), which can be deactivated, works in tandem with the Riding Modes (ROAD and RAIN) to provide support in all conditions. ABS ensures braking control, and Cruise Control enhances comfort on long journeys. The bike features full LED lighting with DRLs and a digital instrument panel.
