Overall, I enjoyed the easy going V7 Classic, and it’s easy to appreciate why Guzzi wants this type of roadster in its ever-expanding range. The V7 Classic is perfect for someone wanting to experience the gentler side of Italian motorcycling but with the safety net of a warranty and dealer network. Riders coming back to motorcycling could also be tempted by the mix of character, good looks and simplicity, and new motorcyclists wanting a traditionally styled bike would do well to consider the V7 Classic alongside other retro models as a first bike.

There’s no official word on whether the V7 Classic will be imported to the U.S., and even if it is, the weak dollar puts a serious collar on potential sales. But U.S. Aprilia/Guzzi brand manager Rick Panettieri was spotted riding in the launch for UK journalists, and judging by the smile on his face at the end of the riding day, the V7 Classic has a good chance of becoming a welcome addition to the Guzzi range in the U.S. Watch this space!  MC

    I'm with you there. I can't imagine a better bike for a relaxed riding style, and it looks simply stunning.
