Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for new to intermediate riders thanks to its modest power delivery and manageable weight, though its shaft-driven torque character rewards a bit of experience.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed classic-styled cruising, weekend rides, and city commuting rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA low seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to riders of varying heights and strength levels.
CharacterThis is a charming, retro-styled V-twin with old-school Moto Guzzi soul, offering character and style over raw speed.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking high-speed thrills, aggressive cornering performance, or any off-road capability.

2018 Moto Guzzi V7 III Anniversario Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Moto Guzzi V7 III Anniversario, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
