More guts for your Guzzi! Sporty new model and more power announced across 2025 Moto Guzzi V7 range

Moto Guzzi have thrown a host of updates at their classically styled V7, improving power whilst also adding a smorgasbord of extra tech as well as refining the look of the model which now nears a 60-year lineage. 

The big news comes with the debut of a new V7 Sport – said to be the most technologically advanced incarnation of the model to date, which will sit alongside the V7 Stone and V7 Special. Price and availability are yet to be announced, but standby for an announcement on the numbers soon. 

The Sport exclusively gains a six-axis IMU, allowing the addition of cornering sensitive ABS and traction control. 

While braking and suspension remain unchanged on the Stone and Special models, the Sport gets new, preload adjustable, 41 mm USD forks, paired with preload-adjustable twin shock absorbers. Lighter alloy wheels also complement the Sport’s athletic new persona, shedding 1.8kg from the units fitted to the Stone. 

In terms of braking, up front the Sport gets dual 320 mm floating discs paired with Brembo monobloc radial-mount 4-piston calipers and an uprated master cylinder. 

All three bikes benefit from changes to their air-cooled 853cc transverse V-twin engines. Alongside a shift to Euro5+, they get a 4% power increase taking peak output to 66.4bhp at 6800rpm. More significantly, torque has grown from 53.8lb-ft to 58.3lb-ft – of which 95% is available at 3500rpm. 

A switch from cable throttle to ride by wire enables the introduction of riding modes too, with the Stone and Special getting ‘Rain’ or ‘Road’ options, and the Sport getting an additional ‘Sport’ function. Ditching the old-school cable throttle means the V7 now gets cruise control too and has also allowed the use of more aggressive valve lift profiles, boosting performance. 

The airbox gains 27% volume too and piston cooling is improved thanks to an enhanced oil jet system, potentially improving engine durability – not to say that the V7 has proved unreliable previously. 

The halogen headlight of earlier models has been switched out in favour of an LED unit now, and switchgear blocks have been revised to accommodate the bike’s extra functions. Revisions to the side panels, rear mudguard, and exhaust round out the changes across the trio.
