2026 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport Review — First Ride

Опубликовано 14 апреля 2025, 21:06

Say hello to the 2026 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport—a modern retro roadster with more old-school cool than you can shake a stick at and tech to keep it shiny, too. Powered by a now Euro5+ compliant 853cc transverse V-twin engine, the V7 Sport kicks out a claimed 67.3 horsepower at 6,900 rpm, while torque comes out to 58.3 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm. The well-tune ride-by-wire throttle response is crisp enough to slice prosciutto, thanks to refined engine mapping and a few other internal updates.

Moto Guzzi didn’t just slap a badge on the tank and call it a day—this Sport trim gets its own unique chassis upgrades. For the first time ever, a V7 is a rocking 41mm USD fork bolted on its steel-cradle frame, creating sharper front-end feel. Dual shocks in the rear return for another tour of duty. Following that up is the addition of dual Brembo calipers up front biting down on dual 320mm discs, back by IMU-supported electronics, delivering cornering ABS and multi-level traction control system for those times when your ambition outweighs your talent.

At 489 pounds wet, it’s not exactly featherweight, but it hides its mass well — especially once you're leaned over and letting the torque do its thing. Ergos are spot-on for casual riding, with a cozy but neutral riding position being offered up. It’s as happy carving coastal twisties as it is posing outside your favorite espresso joint. If you want a bike with an unmistakable character — the V7 Sport might just be your kind of wonderfully weird ride.
