2011 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Moto Guzzi's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic features a 744 cc (45.4 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 54.7 Nm (40.3 lb-ft) at 3,600 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 80.0 x 74.0 mm (3.1 x 2.9 inches) with a 9.6:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the V7 Classic measures 198 kg (437 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
