MOTO GUZZIV7 Racer 2013 - 2014

　　In 2013, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 Racer, a limited edition machine for riders who want a fast, agile, and aggressive motorcycle with a retro style complemented by modern technology.

　　The 2013 V7 Racer was visually different than the standard version, packing the same standard features but in different colors. It packed a red-finished frame and swingarm, a chromed-finished fuel tank, and a single seat with a passenger seat cover.

　　It was built around a double-cradle tubular steel frame coupled to a 40 mm telescopic fork on the front and a lightweight aluminum swingarm tied to a pair of fully adjustable Bitubo shock absorbers on the rear, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The braking performance was handled by a 320 mm disc mounted on the front wheel engaged by a four-piston Brembo caliper and a 260 mm stainless steel disc tied to a dual-piston caliper.

　　In the performance department, the 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Racer had its heartbeat set by a 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine managed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 50 hp at 6,200 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.

　　The power generated by the engine was sent to a five-speed transmission with a dry single-plate clutch and redirected to the rear wheel through a final Compact Reactive Shaft Drive (CARC).
