New Moto Guzzi models destined for SA

The Moto Guzzi brand, famous for it’s signature transverse-mounted V2 engines, will be adding its new V85 TT model to the local line-up. Featuring a new platform and 853 cc engines, the Italian motorcycle will be able to produce 60 kW from the 90-degree V twin engine sending power through a shaft drive configuration to the rear wheel. Fitted to the new frame is a 23-litre tank promising 400 km of range.

“With the global launch of the V85, Moto Guzzi welcomed back an old-time fan – the Hollywood actor Ewan McGreggor – as its brand ambassador. Ewan is renowned for his adventurous spirit, and we are excited to see him on the V85,” Ian Huntly, CEO, Italian Motorcycle Importers.

In addition to the V85 TT, the third completely new model since its inception in 1967 and the latest iteration of the range, the V7 is also on its way to local dealers. Although still featuring the two-valve per cylinder set-up and Moto Guzzi unique exhaust, the V7 will be available in numerous factory custom variants. One of the factory creations known as the V7 Stone will feature a large singular display, alloy wheels and dark matt look while the V7 Special comes tailored with old-school saddle stitching on the seat, spoke wheels and dual circular displays.

“The V7 has everything that we love about Moto Guzzi. It is hand-built, is fitted with the company’s legendary thumping V2 engine that sits transversely in the frame and it has endless customisation options. We will officially launch the V7 Stone Rosso, the V7 Stone with LED package, the V7 Rough, the V7 Milano, the V7 Carbon and the V7 Racer. Each has a very distinctive design that will stand out in a crowd and offer owners different canvases for further customisation,” Ian Huntly, CEO, Italian Motorcycle Importers.

Warranty

All Moto Guzzi models are sold with a 3-year/60 000 km service plan and a 24-month mechanical warranty.
