Moto Guzzi V7 Stone
The Moto Guzzi V7 Stone has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 65 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Die Moto Guzzi V7 Stone ist Teil der wiederbelebten V7-Reihe, die 2008 als moderne Interpretation des klassischen V7 von 1967, der zur Definition der italienischen Marke beitrug, neu auf den Markt gebracht wurde. Die Stone-Variante, die etwa 2012 als Teil der zweiten Generation eingeführt wurde, wurde als abgespeckte, minimalistische „nackte“ Version der V7-Familie positioniert und betonte eine rohe Retro-Ästhetik gegenüber den polierteren Special- und Racer-Ausstattungsmerkmalen. Es hat sich zu einem der weltweit meistverkauften Modelle von Moto Guzzi entwickelt und ist für seinen zugänglichen Charakter, seinen querstehenden V-Twin-Charakter und sein zeitloses italienisches Design bekannt.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Simple, Reliable Engine
The air-cooled 850cc V-twin is mechanically straightforward with a long service history in Moto Guzzi lineage, making it relatively easy and affordable to maintain. Valve clearance checks every 6,000 miles are the most critical routine task to stay on top of.
Watch the Electrics
Early V7 Stone models (2012–2016) had known issues with the rectifier/regulator overheating and failing, which can cause charging problems or battery drain. Always check the charging system voltage and look for signs of heat damage near the regulator before buying used.
Strong Resale Value
The V7 Stone holds its value better than many competitors in the retro segment due to its iconic Italian styling and loyal brand following. Well-maintained examples with low miles rarely depreciate sharply, making it a smart buy for riders who plan to resell.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A flawed but deeply loveable bike that rewards patient, characterful riders."
$5,500-$8,500 usedThe V7 Stone is genuinely charming in a way that's hard to quantify until you've ridden one. That transverse V-twin thumps with real character, the torque hits low and usefully, and the whole thing feels like it was built by people who actually enjoy motorcycles. It's not fast. It doesn't pretend to be. But around town and on flowing B-roads it's properly satisfying in a way that numbers on a spec sheet can't capture. Buying used, check the bevel drive final shaft seal — early examples weep oil if they've been neglected. The electrics can be temperamental on pre-2014 bikes, so demand a full service history. Throttle bodies on the fuel-injected models occasionally need balancing if it's hunting at idle. None of these are dealbreakers, just negotiate accordingly. Parts are pricier than Japanese equivalents and dealer networks are thin outside major cities, so budget realistically. What you're getting is a motorcycle with genuine soul, Italian personality, and surprising everyday usability. Just go in with eyes open.
