Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to newer or returning riders thanks to its modest power, light weight, and predictable, easygoing character.
PurposeDesigned as a stylish, classic-styled roadster for relaxed everyday riding and leisurely weekend jaunts rather than outright performance.
Rider FitA low seat height and manageable dry weight make it approachable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterCharming, old-school air-cooled V-twin with shaft drive that delivers unhurried, torquey, low-stress power delivery and a distinctive Moto Guzzi feel.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders wanting high-speed touring, aggressive cornering performance, or any serious off-road capability.

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

Feet:

At 798mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Moto Guzzi V7 II Stornello, 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.
