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.
De Moto Guzzi V7 Stone maakt deel uit van de nieuw leven ingeblazen V7-serie, die in 2008 opnieuw werd gelanceerd als een moderne interpretatie van de klassieke V7 uit 1967 die mede het Italiaanse merk heeft gedefinieerd. De Stone-variant, die rond 2012 werd geïntroduceerd als onderdeel van de tweede generatie, werd gepositioneerd als de ingetogen, minimalistische 'naakte' versie van de V7-familie, waarbij de nadruk werd gelegd op een rauwe retro-esthetiek in plaats van de meer gepolijste Special- en Racer-versieringen. Het is wereldwijd een van de best verkochte modellen van Moto Guzzi geworden, bekend om zijn toegankelijke karakter, transversale V-twin-persoonlijkheid en tijdloze Italiaanse styling.

Wat kopers moeten weten
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.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"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.
