Moto Guzzi updated its V7 range for 2025 and brought back a familiar name: the V7 Sport, which Moto Guzzi calls the most technologically advanced V7 ever. Shown at EICMA in November 2024, the 2025 V7 engine gets a ride-by-wire throttle, cruise control and 4% more power. The Sport adds an upside-down fork, twin front discs with Brembo radial calipers, and a six-axis IMU for cornering ABS and traction control.
EICMA published the announcement on Nov. 7, 2024. It describes the 2025 range update, not a November 2026 launch, and it doesn't give U.S. prices. Moto Guzzi's later 105th-anniversary editions are a separate story.
Key points:
- Range: V7 Stone, V7 Special and the new V7 Sport.
- Engine: now Euro 5+, with ride-by-wire, cruise control and 4% more power, per Moto Guzzi.
- Sport fork: 41 mm upside-down with adjustable preload.
- Sport brakes: dual front discs with Brembo monobloc radial calipers.
- Sport electronics: six-axis IMU, cornering ABS, cornering traction control and a dedicated Sport mode.
- Sport wheels: alloy wheels Moto Guzzi says are 1.8 kg (4 lb) lighter than the Stone's.
What Changes Across the 2025 V7 Range
Every 2025 V7 gets the updated engine. It now meets Euro 5+, uses a ride-by-wire throttle, and gains cruise control as a result. Moto Guzzi says power rises by 4%, without giving a new figure in this announcement.
The styling is updated but familiar. The 21-liter (5.5-gallon) metal tank keeps its shape, the side panels are redesigned, the rear fender is shorter and the exhaust pipes look more aggressive. Moto Guzzi also says the range gets more complete electronics.
The V7 Sport's Hardware
The V7 Sport sits at the top of the range. Its extra hardware is what separates it from the Stone and Special:
- 41 mm upside-down fork with adjustable preload.
- Dual front discs with Brembo monobloc radial calipers.
- Six-axis inertial platform for the cornering rider aids.
- Sport ride mode, developed specifically for this model.
- Sport alloy wheels, which Moto Guzzi says are 1.8 kg (4 lb) lighter than the Stone's.
Don't assume the Stone or Special gets the Sport's fork, brakes or IMU. Check the exact version.
Cornering ABS and Traction Control
The six-axis IMU tracks the bike's lean, which lets the ABS and traction control work as cornering systems. Moto Guzzi says they adjust braking and engine power according to lean angle. They're aids, and Moto Guzzi doesn't give a figure for any safety benefit.
Moto Guzzi describes Sport mode as a sharper throttle map with less traction control intervention.
Sport Details
The V7 Sport also gets aluminum headlight mounts, bar-end mirrors, aluminum inserts on the side panels and a sport seat with red stitching.
What It Means for U.S. Riders
Moto Guzzi lists the V7 Sport on its U.S. site. Ask a dealer about current availability, pricing and exact trim.
Ask your insurer to quote the exact version. Rates depend on the rider, location and coverage as much as on the motorcycle, and the insurer may distinguish Sport and Stone as separate trims.
