Founded in 1921 in Mandello del Lario, Italy, Moto Guzzi celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. To commemorate the event, Moto Guzzi is releasing three limited series models – the V7, V9 and V85 TT -dressed up in Centennial Livery and only available for 2021.
Inspired by the Otto Cilindri 500 cc
Championship racing machine of 1955, the V7, V9 and V85 TT Centennial Editions
came in special colours for this year only – a matt finish green, complemented
by metallic grey colours. A faux leather seat in a shade of dark brown is
matched to the special edition paintwork for that retro look.
Aside from the paintwork and seat, a gold
Moto Guzzi eagle emblem is attached to the tank as well as the 100th
Anniversary logo celebrating Moto Guzzi’s 100 years. For 2021, the Moto Guzzi
V7 comes with a 65 hp at 6,800 rpm and 73 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm 850 cc
transverse V-twin.
The same engine is used for the Moto Guzzi
V9, with identical power figures. Meanwhile, the Moto Guzzi V85 TT puts out 80
PS at 7,750 rpm and 80 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. Moto Guzzi’s centennial
celebration includes the Giornate Mondiali Moto Guzzi, scheduled to be held in
Mandello del Lario from 9 through 12 September.
