In 2015, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone, the second generation of the popular V7 series, featuring several technical modifications enhancing its overall capabilities.
The 2015 motorcycle received a new closed-ratio transmission with an extra gear and a matching new clutch that offered smoother gear changes and a more relaxing highway cruising speed.
In addition, another modification was brought to the engine, but nothing was inside it, lowering it by 10 mm. This change reduced the center of gravity, increasing stability and cornering abilities.
Everything remained unchanged in the visual department, delivering a retro design that appealed to younger and more nostalgic riders. With its relatively small displacement engine, it was a great entry-level machine.
In the performance department, the 2015 Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone had installed a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 50 hp at 6,200 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was converted into motion by a six-speed transmission with a manual dry single-plate clutch, sending it to the rear end via a final shaft drive.
As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 320 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper on the front and a 260 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.
