After yesterday’s news on the Griso 8V SE, Moto Guzzi has also released details of its V7 Café Classic model for 2009. Taking a step back in time to the V7 Sport, you’ll see the model that inspired today’s V7 Café Classic.

Dynamic performance and classic naked style are what define this Moto Guzzi model, with a little taste of vintage. The bike features a double-cradle grame, with Marzocchi fork and 40 mm stems. Brakes are a floating, 320 mm front disc and rear at 260 mm.

The V7 Café Classic has a 744 cc, 90°, V twin engine with five-speed transmission, 54.7 Nm of torque and 50 hp.
