The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is a sports motorcycle first manufactured in 1971 by Italian company Moto Guzzi. Based on the V7 roadster, but with a new frame and clip-on handlebars, the V7 Sport was the first Moto Guzzi café racer. The V7 Sport was lighter than the standard V7, it handled well and proved popular. The V7 Sport formed the basis for subsequent models and ultimately led to the very successful Le Mans. In 2008, Moto Guzzi introduced the "V7 Special", a detuned retro-styled roadster loosely based on the V7 Sport. The "Special" was itself succeeded in 2012 by a more powerful 50 bhp model.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/motorbikes/9183730/Moto-Guzzi-V7-Special-review.html〕 ==Reception== ''Motorcycle Mechanics''' editor ''Charles Deane'' commented in his 1972 road-test that the V7 Sport, with a factory-claimed 70 bhp power output, was like a "BMW with a little bit extra" – a bit more acceleration, higher top speed and better braking, but was also, significantly, the most expensive "Superbike" available in Britain.〔''Motorcycle Mechanics'', March 1972, pp.36-38. ''Moto Guzzi V7 Sport test. "Charles Deane reports on the most expensive 'Superbike' in Britain...''". Accessed and added 2015-02-08〕 The reviewer added: "The brakes were 'faultless' – powerful and progressive but did not prove fierce, inspiring 'confidence' in wet conditions, and the 'remarkably-low' seat height enabled a 'short' 5' 6" rider to place both feet on the floor but would be 'cramped' for a taller rider".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moto Guzzi V7 Sport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
