2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Quick Ride - City, Highway, Corners

2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Quick Ride - City, Highway, Corners Introducing the 2013 Motoguzzi V7 ( http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycles/2013models/2013-MotoGuzzi-V7Stone.htm ). Just a quick ride to show you what the new V7 750 from Moto Guzzi can do in the city, highway and in the corners. It might have just 50hp, but it sure doesn't act like it! Overall, the MOST fun city bike I've EVER rode (and I've rode a lot of bikes). An Evolution That Represents Tradition The plain colour combined with the simple design of the six split spoke wheels enhances the brightness of the chromium plating and the various metallic tones, providing the whole package with great appeal and modernism, representing the ideal base for developing new aesthetic personalisations. The lightweight alloy wheels allowed a reduction of 1440 grams at the front and 860 on the rear, with a consequent drop in gyroscopic inertia of about 30%, an advantage in terms of dynamics which translates on the road into greater agility and speed entering turns. This represents the entry level model to the range, more for the versatility of its style than for essentiality in its equipment. Thanks to the new lightweight, minimalist alloy wheels, the new V7 Stone attracts a more varied audience than the other two versions, clearly inspired, even in the chromium plating choices, by the legendary Moto Guzzi bikes of the past.
