MOTO GUZZIV7 Special 2012 - 2013

　　Since 2012, the Moto Guzzi V7 model has been manufactured in Moto Guzzi V7 Stone, V7 Special, and V7 Racer versions with new engines delivering 50 hp. In 2014, the maker introduced the V7 II with disengageable traction control, ABS, a six-speed transmission, and minor improvements.

　　In 2012, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Moto Guzzi V7 Special, the same retro-styled machine that proudly showed off its two-tone livery and brought the same riding philosophy Lino Tonti had when he created the first V7.

　　In the visual department, the Special version was similar to the basic V7 model, packing standard features like wire-spoke wheels, a dual exhaust system, side-mounted rear shocks, a one-piece dual seat, and a round headlight up front.

　　Held in place by a steel frame, the 744cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that powered the 2012 Moto Guzzi V7 Special delivered an output power of 52 hp with a peak force at 6,200 rpm and 58 Nm (43 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.

　　The bike's front end was handled by a 40 mm Marzocchi telescopic fork that offered 130 mm of travel acting as suspension and a 320 mm floating disc with a four-piston caliper acting as braking power.

　　The rear end was driven by an aluminum swingarm coupled to twin adjustable shocks that provided 118 mm of travel and stopped by a 260 mm disc engaged by a dual-piston caliper.
