While a bit more classic than what we usually post, the Guzzi V7 Sport enjoys a loyal following from collectors and riders alike. Today’s example is freshly imported from Italy and is not a restored example, but a well looked after original showing an appropriate amount of patina for a 41 year old motorcycle.
1973 Moto Guzzi V7 Sport for sale on eBay
Here is some background on the V7 Sport from our sister site, Classic Sport Bikes For Sale: Before the V7 Sport became the V7 Sport, Moto Guzzi had developed a 700cc bike in 1967, and called it the V7. It was the first of the Guzzi heavy weights and was a good cruiser. In 1971 and Lino Tonti creating a lower and better handling frame, the engine grew to 748cc and became the sporty bike it is. 2 30mm Dell’orto’s helped to generate 70hp at 6300 rpm and gave a top speed of 125mph. This V7 Sport has gone better with 36mm Dell’orto’s, upping to possibilities.

from the seller:
This is a very nice matching numbers 1973 Moto Guzzi V7 sport. This bike was recently imported from Italy with full Italian pedigree.
Overall, the bike is in very good condition and runs very well. The engine has a little over 140psi compression in both cylinders and doesn’t leak anywhere.
The transmission shifts nicely (for a Guzzi!) and is a five speed, with the old right hand shift, one up, four down shift pattern.
Original levers, switches, controls, etc. all appear to be in good condition and operate as they should.
All the electrics work fine including, lights, horn, turn signals, brake lights, etc.
Paint is in very good to excellent condition. Both tool boxes use the same key and lock correctly and securely. The frame does have a few scratches here and there, but overall, the paint on it is in nice condition.
Front and rear stainless fenders are in very nice condition (no dents or dings that I noticed). Chrome is very nice for a bike of this age, but it is not perfect (again, it’s Italian and wasn’t perfect to begin with) and shows some “patina” in some areas (see pics as I’ve tried to show where).
The mufflers are original “shark gill” Silentium’s (they are NOT repops). They are in very good to excellent condition with no flaking or pitting on either side .
All of the hardware (bolts, nuts, etc.) on the bike is original and is in good condition.
Wheels are all original and correct Borrani rims and stainless spokes ,Metzeler tires , Brake shoes all good.
This is a very nice example, but it is a USED motorcycle that is over 40 years old and it is NOT perfect. It is sold as is where is with NO warranty, NO guaranty of any kind.
The motorcycle is on original Italian Paperwork and currently being titled to California (we have all import documents and CHP VIN INSPECTIONS COMPLETE ) .
The Bike is currently on display @ Piston & Chain Motorcycle Club 1285 Folsom St. San Francisco , CA …come see us or Call Mike 7026770499
