Racier retro Guzzi arrives: Italian firm announce surprise V7 Stone Corsa café racer at celebration event

Moto Guzzi have added a new £9050 Corsa café racer model to their V7 Stone retro range, following a surprise reveal in Mandello Del Lario, Italy earlier this month.

Building on the existing £8200 V7 Stone, the bike arrived during the Moto Guzzi Open House 2023 event, which ran from 7-10 September and welcomed fans from across the world to celebrate the brand famed for their transverse twins.  

Sporting its own unique grey and red two tone paint scheme, the Corsa is distinguished from the V7 Stone, Special, and Special Edition thanks to a small bikini fairing, which wraps around the signature circular front light.

What’s more a colour matched rear seat cover is also available as an optional extra, with bar end mirrors and a billet black anodised aluminium fuel cap as standard completing the look.

The Corsa is said to be available in dealerships now, making use of the same Moto Guzzi V85TT-derived air-cooled 853cc transverse V-twin engine, producing a claimed 64.1bhp at 6800rpm.

It also features the Corsa name in the handlebar clamp and features the minimalist LCD single clock display found on other bikes in the range. The forks are non-adjustable, with preload changes available on the twin shock rear end.

Alongside the semi-faired new model, Moto Guzzi also revealed a new colour scheme for the standard V7 Stone, adding a new camo design alongside the existing red, yellow, silver, and black options.
