Moto Guzzi V7 (2007+)

Moto Guzzi revived the V7 nameplate in 2007, creating a modern classic that pays homage to the original 1967 model. It's powered by the brand's signature transverse 90-degree V-twin, initially a 744cc unit that was updated in 2012 and again for the V7 II in 2015. A major change came in 2021 when the V7 received the more powerful 850cc engine from the V85 TT, offering a significant bump in performance.

The V7 appeals to riders seeking classic Italian style combined with simple, air-cooled mechanics and the low-maintenance reliability of a shaft drive. It's an approachable and characterful machine that serves as a great entry into the Moto Guzzi brand. Limited editions like the V7 Racer, with its polished chrome tank and red frame, are especially sought after for their unique aesthetics and higher-spec components.

With an average sale price around $7,200, the V7 market is accessible and stable. These bikes don't see rapid appreciation but they hold their value consistently, offering a lot of style for the money. The wide variety of models, from the original V7 Classic to the modern V7 850 Special, provides options across the price spectrum.

Prices range from around $2,900 for older, well-used models to $13,250 for recent, top-spec variants.
