In 2021, Moto Guzzi is celebrating its centennial with an all-new V7 range! It comes in two shades, "Stone," with a matte/black finish, and "Classic," in colors, stripes, and chrome. Mechanically, both versions are identical with 67HP, 853CC longitudinal V-twins, dual exhaust, 6-speed gearboxes, and shaft drive. The torquey V-twin has been improved for more power and torque, now 50 lb/ft, along with improved emissions (Euro5). The suspension has been redesigned for improved handling and at 480 lbs wet, the V7 offers a smooth, stable ride. Starting just under $9,000, it's a lot of style and substance from a cool off-beat brand.
Moto Guzzi wanted me to ride the new V7 so badly, they put me up in the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, fed me dinner, and provided the bike, insurance, and Larry Chen to shoot the B-Roll. We should all be so lucky.

If you would've told me four years ago that I would be riding a high mileage Italian motorcycle, I'd have laughed in your face. Well, a 6500 mile round trip (averaging about 500 miles a day) cross country trek from Ohio to California and over 80,000 miles of faithful service have made me a believer. I bought it to be a sedate cruiser and "back up" for my Triumph Street Triple R... since I got the Guzzi, I've put 4000 miles on the Triumph, and 16,000 on the Guzzi. There's just something absolutely magical and endearing about a Moto Guzzi. Between the look, sound, character, history, and the way the bike makes you FEEL, it's unlike anything else.

Moto Guzzi sticks to it’s principles like Porsche with their rear mounted flat six in the 911. Don’t think I’ll ever sell my V7 III!

Creative placement of the TST logo.

[@gustavmeyrink_2.0]

Consider that Moto Guzzis are made in Italy and cheaper than Triumphs which are all made in Thailand now.

[@ifrit35]

That has to be one of best looking motorcycle I've seen.

[@armchairracer007]

"if you're a real big girl like me" unfortunate syntax on that one Matt 😂

[@ams914]

These are most unique mass-produced (less than 10k) a year bikes in the world. Matt is new to bikes, so I'll fill you guys in. For less than most Triumphs (if not all), you get a HAND built bike from Italy, made in the same factory since day one, from the longest consecutively running European motorcycle manufacturer. Guzzi is older than Ducati. And with the right aftermarket pipes, the exhaust note from these bikes are UNBELIEVABLE. Yes, I have one, and Todd at GTmotocycles, who is a Guzzi specialist, put those mods on mine. The problem is, like all bikes these are neutered by euro standards. If Matt got on mine he wouldn't even think it was the same brand. It's a beautiful beast.

The integration of that Haagen Dazs sponsorship was next level.

[@sarahdell4042]

Loving the bike reviews! Also, it’s refreshing to see an average rider doing reviews. It will really help new riders

[@chaselandry2962]

I like these bike reviews. Keep them coming.

[@robertmascellani]

Moto Guzzi Is 100 years old, it is a beautiful piece of motorcycling history

[@DMurphy802]

Loved all the flybys and follow cam! Reminded me of the /tuned days!

[@bosconeptune]

Right on Matt! I didn't know you rode or did motorcycle reviews. I bought a v85tt Guzzi last year and I love it.

[@Jay-ehn]

They may not be the most popular of your videos, but I love the fact you do motorcycle ones now. 🙌🏼

[@disekjoumoer]

The special reminds me so much of the original Moto Guzzi 850 T3 from the 70s in term of looks. Absolutely beautiful machine.

[@Anything_With_An_Engine]

As a newly proud owner of a 2017 V7 III. I am surprised more people do not own these Moto Guzzi's. Its one of the most fun bikes I have ever ridden.

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

I really appreciate the motorcycle reviews Matt! Could you try placing the "rider's view" camera on your chin in future videos? It really gives a sense of imersion IMHO.

[@victoralley708]

Keep the bike reviews coming

[@FACTOTUM_55]

[@corycruzan3686]
