Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
The Moto Guzzi V7 was introduced in 2008, and it’s been the Italian firm’s best selling model since 2009 due to the excellent combination of personality and practicality with the classic styling and 5.5 gallon fuel tank as well as comfortable ergonomics and ease of use.
A major update came in 2013, with a revised throttle body, larger valves, a relocated airbox that brought in cooler air, lighter/stronger pistons, and a new combustion chamber with a higher compression ratio (10.2:1). New output numbers were 51 horsepower and 43 lb-ft of torque – nothing overwhelming but just about anyone who’s ridden a V7 will tell you that there is plenty of poke and the experience is more rewarding than the spec sheet reveals, as is first revealed by the rocking motion of the side-to-side V-Twn when you fire it up.
Three V7 models were available that year: the Racer, the Special, and the Stone. The Stone, as featured here, was the base model, though the only real differences throughout the lineup were cosmetic. Unlike the Special or the Racer, the Stone came with blacked-out cast wheels wrapped in tubeless tires.
The seller acquired this example (VIN: ZGULWU002DM112412) three years ago from a private party in California.
During that time he has covered approximately 1,000 miles. The odometer now shows 2,072 miles.
He has “not performed any major maintenance on it other than to replace its battery earlier this year.” The seller is letting it go as he his moving out of California and will not be able to ride it in his new location.
The original owner added a cable lock to the handlebar for securing a helmet. The seller has never used it, but the keys are included.
There are no mechanical issues to report. However, the bike was dropped once on the right side at low speed. This resulted in scrapes on the exhaust, bar end, and cylinder head cover.
There is also no passenger footpeg on the right side.
The sale includes two keys for the motorcycle, two keys for the cable lock on the handlebar, the tool kit, and the warranty + service book.
Offered with no reserve, this V7 Stone is guaranteed to find a new home!
