SUMMARY
The original Italian Superbike.
DESCRIPTION
- Designed by Lino Tonti and introduced in 1971, based on the V7 Roadster but lighter with a new frame and clip-on bars
- Allegedly the fastest production bike of the time until the Kawasaki Z1 was launched in 1972
- Sporty 'Café Racer' looks and good performance made the V7 Sport a great success for Moto Guzzi with various celebrity owners including Mike Hailwood
- The model was later replaced by the 850 Le Mans
- This 1972 US-market example is presented in very good restored condition and in running order
- Originally registered new in California and complete with its last US-title
- Restored in the US between 2001 and 2003 with documented maintenance since then
- Complete with large history file containing numerous receipts, invoices, photos and related paperwork
- Recent overhaul in 2023 that included carburettor rebuild, service, new points and condenser
- Great example of this classic 'Café Racer'
- UK-registered on a current V5C
