Here’s some more Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic love after the guys at Motoblog.it took it out for a test ride in Rome. The V7 Cafe Classic looks quite the part in an Italian city, and has the pedigree of the V7 Legnano originally based on the 1970’s V7 Special. The V7 was originally developed on the request of the Italian police, who wanted a new model to replace the Falcone.

The modern Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic includes some of that stunning, traditional Guzzi design with spoke wheels and austere instrumentation. Plenty of chrome components give a vintage touch and the new Cafe Classic model tested came in white. Compared to the standard V7 model, the Cafe Classic has more sports style than the touring model, highlighted by raised twin silencers that accentuate the engine sound, and a double cradle frame for better road grip.

The Moto Guzzi Cafe Classic has a front floating brake disc measuring 320 mm and a rear brake disc of 260 mm. The front wheel is 18 inches and the rear 17 inches, for a high wheel riding style. The overall riding feel is of a compact, agile bike comfortable enough for cruisy riding and some city adventures. The seat is well-padded and a perfect fit for both rider and passenger.

The Moto Guzzi V7 Classic is the official bike for the 16th Rome marathon, and will be cruising the streets of the eternal city on March 21st. It’s seem that Moto Guzzi is increasingly making its way from Mandello to Rome, after Tor Sagen took the Moto Guzzi Griso 8V on a test ride through Rome.

Moto Guzzi will have a special stand at the marathon, where you can buy Moto Guzzi accessories at discounted prices. There will also be a Moto Guzzi Fun Run with two bikes making way through the streets of Rome for the runners behind. See the Guzzi V7 classic in Rome in this photo gallery.
