2015 Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone now on sale
The first of the three updated retro machines, the Stone, is here, to be followed by the Special and Racer. There are also accessory kits availableMoto Guzzi's V7 II Stone has now gone on sale in Australia for $14K rideaway.
The Stone, alongside the V7 II Special and V7 II Racer, have been updated for the 2015 model year, with the 744cc, 90-degree air-cooled V-twin powering all three bikes now housing a six-speed gearbox.
The clutch has been tweaked for a softer action, while the engine, which produces 50hp and 60Nm, has been tilted four degrees towards the front axle, and also lowered by 10mm.
According to Moto Guzzi, this “solution” not only improves aesthetics but allows for more knee room, while riders should not be cramped: the footpegs are now 25mm lower.
Safety updates on the V7 II include anti-lock braking and traction control.
The Stone offers light alloy wheels along with single-colour matte paint schemes: Nero Ruvido and Rosso Impetuoso.
The V7 Special is the closest of the V7 II range to its ancestors. It features two-tone colour schemes, in both Nero Essetre and Rosso Essetre, along with spoked wheels. TheV7 Special will be available in March 2015 for $14,500 rideaway.
TheV7 II Racer will be available in limited quantities in the second half of the year at a price to be announced.
Along with the launch of the V7 II line-up, Moto Guzzi has released a range of accessories, which will be available as kits based upon four distinct styles: Dark Rider, Scrambler, Legend and Dapper. Customers will have the option to purchase accessories individually, and all the accessories are adaptable to the each V7 II model.

To finalise the Legend Kit a cross brace handlebar, black luggage rack, larger seat and natural leather side bags have also been included.
