Italian motorcycle manufacturer Moto Guzzi (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/moto+guzzi/) has announced a new line of V7 bikes (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/02/moto-guzzi-california-and-v7-scrambler-make-surprise-debut-in-mo/), which will be available to Euro-leaning shoppers in the U.S.
Moto Guzzi calls the 2013 iteration of the V7 a "completely new bike," with a more powerful version of the company's 90-degree V-twin engine and revamped aesthetics for each model. The traditional double-cradle frame and drive shaft remain, however.
To start, the Italian company will offer the V7 in three distinct flavors: the V7 Stone, V7 Racer and V7 Special. The Stone has the lowest price point at $8,390 to start, and is made to appeal to a younger buyers with its clean design and ample customization options. The V7 Racer clearly has been aimed at the retro-loving rider, as it makes use of old school number plates on the cowl and rear fenders, while rocking a vintage chrome tank and suede seat. The Racer is also the most dear, at $9,990 to start. Finally the V7 Special fills the need for a classically inspired touring bike (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/30/review-moto-guzzi-v7-classic-is-an-italian-beauty-you-can-live/) with a large, 5.8-gallon tank (offering an average range of 310 miles) and available add-ons like luggage bags and a proper windshield. MSRP for the Special is $8,990.
The V7 Racer will be the first of the new range to show up at your local motorcycle emporium, with delivery slated for early October. The Stone will arrive a little later in the month, and the V7 Special should be available in the first quarter of 2013.Continue reading 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 range coming to U.S. (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/30/2013-moto-guzzi-v7-range-coming-to-u-s/)
