Milan Show: Moto Guzzi unveils new V7

Moto Guzzi has unveiled two new versions of its V7 Roadster at the Milan show, both also powered by an updated version of its 750cc Transverse V-Twin. 

The new engine is outwardly similar to the old version, but features an all-new top end, including head, pistons, and induction which boosts power and torque by 10 per cent (the current bike puts down 48bbhp/40ftlb) while also improving economy and emissions. 

The new bikes are this V7 racer styled by Miguel Galluzzi, designer of the original Ducati Monster. Although only a concept at this stage it could be set for production and features  a new half fairing seat unit, a host of cosmetic touches and, bizarrely, a drum front brake.

A version that will definitely go into production is a new V7 special intended as an up market tourer and features small screen, panniers, and retro two tone (brown and white) paint job.
