Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to new and returning riders thanks to its modest power output, low seat height, and predictable, easygoing manners.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed classic-styled riding, casual commuting, and weekend cruising rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA light, low, and narrow machine that is easy to manage at low speeds and for shorter or less experienced riders.
CharacterCharming, old-school Italian character with a shaft-driven V-twin that emphasizes torque feel and mechanical charisma over raw speed.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders wanting strong acceleration, off-road capability, or long-haul touring comfort with wind protection.

2018 Moto Guzzi V7 III Stone 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 Stone, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
