Moto Guzzi V7 Sport
Article: Wikipedia
The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is a sports motorcycle first manufactured in 1971 by the Italian company Moto Guzzi. Based on the V7 roadster, but with a new frame and clip-on handlebars, the V7 Sport was the first Moto Guzzi cafe racer. The V7 Sport was lighter than the standard V7, it handled well and proved popular.
The V7 Sport formed the basis for subsequent models and ultimately led to the very successful Le Mans.
In 2008, Moto Guzzi introduced the “V7 Special”, a detuned retro-styled roadster loosely based on the V7 Sport. The “Special” was itself succeeded in 2012 by a more powerful 50bhp model.
