Bike Model: Retro Naked

Produced in a numbered edition, V7 III Racer is not only the most sporty of the V7 range but also the one with the most prestigious parts, once again demonstrating Moto Guzzi’s ability to create true custom models. There are numerous technical and aesthetic differences that distinguish it from the previous version and from the other V7 III models. There’s a new graphic for the satin-finish chromium fuel tank where the red eagle is prominently displayed.
