The Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone was an updated version of the basic model. It debuted in 2015 and received several technical modifications enhancing its overall capabilities, continuing production until 2020.
The 2016 model came with the same package as the previous model without any modifications. The 2015 model received several changes, such as 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.
Another modification was brought to the engine, but not inside it. Instead, it was lowered by 10 mm, reducing the center of gravity and increasing stability and cornering abilities.
Like the 2015 model, the 2016 V7 II Stone remained unchanged in the visual department, still 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 power department, the 2016 Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone had its soul brought to life by a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 48 hp at 6,250 rpm and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
The bike was set in motion by a six-speed transmission with a dry single-plate manual clutch and a final shaft drive.
