Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Corsa

An emblem of the Italian motorcycle for almost seventy years, Moto Guzzi V7 continues to reinvent itself, maintaining its unmistakable features and an authenticity that make it unique. The most recent interpretation of the legendary V7, the new Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Corsa, was unveiled as a surprise during Moto Guzzi Open House 2023, capturing the attention of the thousands of fans who turned out in Mandello for the most eagerly awaited event by Guzzisti all over the world. Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Corsa represents a bold return to a classic sportiness. Its soft lines stand out straight away, flowing from the top fairing and the single-seater style saddle, both bringing to mind the exciting atmosphere of races from days gone by.

Vibrations that emanate from authentic motorcycling, animated by genuine passion, and which have come back to life since 2019 in the Moto Guzzi Fast Endurance, the single-brand trophy that gives many riders the chance to race on the track, having fun astride their own V7 machines, highlighting its unexpected racing features. The new V7 Stone Corsa stands out with its brand new two-tone livery, also a tribute to the golden age of motorcycle racing. The metallic grey colour scheme is livened up by an aggressive red stripe that runs vertically along the top fairing, then continuing along the lower part of the fuel tank and on the side panels. Colour coded to match the body, the hard cover for the rear portion of the saddle is available as an accessory, making it a true single-seater in pure racing style.

The equipment package also includes “bar end” rear-view mirrors, which give the V7 Stone Corsa an even sleeker and more dynamic profile, as well as the billet black anodised aluminium fuel cap. In line with the minimalist look, which is the distinctive trait of all V7 versions, the front fork has no bellows, whereas a plate on the handlebar riser identifies the special edition.

Moto Guzzi V7 Stone was also unveiled at Open House 2023 in the new Verde Camo colour scheme, which will be available alongside the Rosso Rovente, Grigio Alluminio, Giallo Metallico, and Nero Ruvido colour schemes.

UN UOMO IN MOTO PERPETUO

Ed è proprio il caso di definirlo in moto il mitico Frenkie, grande appassionato di motori, e anche di musica, persona che ha fatto dei “cavalli rombanti” il suo (e perdonate il gioco di parole) “cavallo di battaglia”, pur se da persona pacifica che è, di battaglie non ne vuole nemmeno sentir parlare, ma bensì di condividere esperienze che di recente lo hanno portato a vincere un riconoscimento ad una manifestazione fieristica incentrata proprio sui “bikers” ovvero i “patiti” (o...partiti, fate un po' voi) di quelle moto sulle quali si sta comodamente seduti per non dire addirittura sdraiati, dalle cromature spettacolari per chi non conosce a sufficienza questo mondo che a Frenkie ha dato e sta dando moltissime soddisfazioni e riconoscimenti, soprattutto sul piano umano.

“bergamorisvegliata” ha incontrato Frenkie nel suo habitat naturale del “PdF”, noto locale alle porte di Bergamo.

Innanzitutto Frenkie, per chi non è avvezzo ai vostri termini, perchè si chiamano “biker” e cosa hanno di differente dalle comuni moto?

-Bikers perchè si differenziano tra bikers, marche e a coloro che vi appartengono come i “guzzisti”, “bm-w-isti”...centauri, insomma i biker assommano tutte le categorie. Personalmente uso spesso il termine “moto gippisti” e non quello di biker. I bikers si appoggiano di più sui “custom” a differenza dei centauri che utilizzano le moto da strada, oppure gli enduristi che per l'appunto viaggiano e utilizzano le moto da enduro. Per quanto riguarda le nostre moto, e per nostre intendo quelle che fanno parte del mio mondo, quello dei bikers, uso prevalentemente le custom , ovvero: se uno chiude gli occhi immagina la linea della Harley Davidson, dopo di che molte case di moto si sono avvicinate a questa linea. Nulla da dire sul fatto che la capostipite-biker sia stata la Indian che già ai primi del novecento aveva impostato un genere di guida che con il tempo è divenuta custom.

(nella foto sopra, la mitica Ducati)

La Moto Guzzi in Italia è stata un po' la prima casa a fabbricare le bike...giusto?

-Già, la Guzzi già dalla fabbricazione delle prime California ha seguito questa linea che poi in prevalenza si è rivelata quella più pratica, in tutti i sensi, che potesse funzionare.

Da che cosa è nata questa tua passione?

-A questa passione mi sono avvicinato sin da quando ero bambino e a furia di guardare i cartoni animati di “Mototopo e Autogatto”: mi piaceva molto il chopper di Mototopo

e da lì ho perseguita questa mia passione, dapprima in maniera “fantasiosa”, per poi concretizzarla con l'acquisto della mia prima moto, più o meno all'età di vent'anni.

Non di sole moto vivi, ma anche di musica, dato che gestisci con molta competenza questo “PdF”: perchè l'hai chiamato così? E da cosa è nata questa idea?

-Passione per la musica che è nata per gioco e per caso, anche perchè ero un po' l'animatore delle feste tra amici, sin dall'età di sedici anni. Combinate insieme, la passione per la moto e quella per la musica,

arriviamo ai tempi nostri. In realtà il “PdF” ha una storia molto più profonda. Intanto il nome è l'acronimo di “Punto di Fuga” ed è il nome che questo stabile ha assunto perchè quando abbiamo scoperto questo luogo con l'intenzione di farci un'officina, questo spazio era completamente vuoto e addirittura bianco: avevamo notato un cartello appoggiato al muro e una volta girato questo cartello abbiamo notata la scritta “Punto di Fuga”; quel cartello è appeso in sala. Di lì appunto, da “Punto di Fuga” a “PdF” nel “brevissimo”. Politicamente suona bene e così è.

Hai qualche aneddoto da raccontare, sia come “biker” che come gestore del locale?

-Ce ne sono davvero tanti, dalla tanta strada che si è fatta, al tanto freddo che si è preso, dal super caldo che magari è colato sul blocchetto di avviamento della moto per cui ci si è dovuti arrangiare, alle varie avventure e disavventure le quali disavventure restano nei ricordi come avventure vissute in ogni angolo anche dell'Europa, non del mondo ma dell'Europa sì...

e a proposito di Europa so che siete protagonisti, tu e i tuoi soci fondatori, di importanti eventi estivi: quale quello che rappresenta meglio la vostra filosofia e il vostro modo di vivere?

-Difficile dire quale ci rappresenta di più, perchè hanno tutti un minimo comun denominatore che è la moto, il ritrovarsi, unire le nostre passioni, il divertimento e ovviamente anche la musica, soprattutto quando poi ci sono i concerti, le varie animazioni...Insomma, è difficile dire quale sia il più bello. Di certo, tra i tanti che abbiamo frequentato, ti posso dire che quello che ho notato in crescita è l'appuntamento di Lione al quale parteciperemo peraltro a giorni, a fine febbraio; si chiama “Salon du 2 Roues”,

e questo senza nulla togliere al “Moto Bike Expo” che è un po' più stabile su determinati concetti motociclistici; e da qui arriviamo a tanti altri come quello che si tiene a Saint Tropez dove c'è molta dinamicità, festa (che però c'era, ora è un po' sminuita). Poi ci sono tanti altri appuntamenti ed eventi come quelli che si tengono sempre in Francia a Biarritz; da noi c'è quello di Lignano Sabbiadoro dove si svolge la “Bikerfest” più longeva di tutte queste manifestazioni, essendo nata 36 anni fa.

Un'altro raduno da rimarcare è quello di Verona da dove, recentemente, siete tornati con un riconoscimento...

-I riconoscimenti sono molteplici: a noi è servito molto aver preso parte a un raduno mondiale di qualche anno. Personalmente sono stato protagonista di quattro “mondiali”, con il primo abbiamo vinto un premio di categoria, terzi nella categoria massima al secondo raduno; al successivo primi e poi nel quarto ancora terzi. Poi ci sarebbe ancora molto altro da dire, perchè il riconoscimento non è stato solo per me, ma per tutta la squadra. Mi sono avvicinato al mondo del custom e dell'officina per un incidente che ho avuto in moto (quella, diciamo così, normale), ma questa è tutta un'altra storia, profonda e lunga da raccontare.

Che consigli dai a un giovane che voglia avvicinarsi al vostro mondo?

-Curiosità innanzitutto, ovviamente attenzione sulla strada e come tu, Edo, che fai le domande a me, a un giovane direi di chiedere ai più saggi e ai più anziani. Soddisfare qualsiasi tipo di curiosità per venire appagato.

Infine: sei attivo anche come gestore, che soddisfazioni ti sta dando il “PdF”?

-Le soddisfazioni sono il riconoscimento della gente che continua a venire ancora a distanza di dieci anni dall'apertura e a riempire il locale e davvero con tanto affetto, sia nei confronti miei che in quelli di Stefano che con me ha avviato questa avventura. E già queste sono esclusivamente delle belle soddisfazioni.

Che importanza ha un locale come il tuo per affrontare al meglio le fatiche di una giornata, ovviamente senza fare “miracoli”...?

-Solo quella esclusivamente di liberarsi di tutte le “rotture di scatole”, divertirsi e di svagarsi, senza nessuna remora e senza dover rispondere di niente se tutto rimane nei giusti limiti.

E per finire, il nostro Frenkie vi saluta...

...in video!

Spotted this recently restored beauty @motomaxmc this afternoon. . I read a Facebook comment today that motorcycles shouldn't be white. Imagine going through life being so wrong. .

Per descrivere il dualismo BMW/Moto Guzzi possiamo pensare al marchio bavarese come la ragazza più bella/educata/preparata e gentile della classe, quella perfettina a cui tutti corrono dietro, mentre la Casa di Mandello è quell'altra ragazza, un po' eccentrica e sempre sulle sue, che non veste mai alla moda e che non prende sempre voti alti nei compiti in classe, ma che ha un fascino intrinseco che solo in pochi "eletti" possono apprezzare. I guzzisti questa cosa la sanno bene, e sono molto orgogliosi dei loro gusti e delle loro scelte.

The Highly Anticipated V100 Mandello has Finally Arrived

Moto Guzzi celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2021 but, more than just a prestigious milestone, the company took this as a base on which to start building its next century of history. A future that is already mapped out and that will see Moto Guzzi continue to build magnificent motorcycles that are authentic and bold in character, dedicated to the Guzzisti and all those keen to belong to the Moto Guzzi family. Modern motorcycles brimming with charm that flaunt cutting-edge technology to guarantee both fun and safety and that are proudly 'made in Italy', at the factory in Mandello del Lario, which continues to be the epicentre of passion for Moto Guzzi. A legendary production site that will take on a brand-new guise thanks to an ambitious project to restructure, expand and develop it over the coming years, for a location open to all, in which the passion for the eagle brand is shared. A new industrial vision based on the concepts of environmental sustainability and an efficient use of resources carefully balancing tradition, engineering and design. One step towards 2121 has already been taken, a step that is more of a bold stride towards the future, given the reach of the new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. “100” as in the first century, was a period of passion, skill, innovation, and success, both sporting and commercial, which allowed for the building of some of the world most beautiful and best-loved motorcycles. “100” also refers to the second century that has just begun. The “100” indicates, as is Moto Guzzi tradition, the size of the new, more moder engine and the basis for a series of new generation motorcycles that will come to light in the coming years. Starting from a blank page and with real freedom of imagination, Moto Guzzi has come up with a bike that is very modern in its style and content, both innovative and unmistakable. It combines those traditional Moto Guzzi values of sport and travel in one single vehicle. And so it is that V100 Mandello opens a new chapter, in every respect, interpreting the sport-touring world in an innovative way and with fresh vision. The compact dimensions and dynamic sports riding typical of the best roadsters is combined with the comfort and protection of a touring bike, thanks to the technology and aerodynamic solutions it adopts. V100 Mandello stands out for its originality, eluding any kind of classification: not a compromise, but the ultimate synthesis of categories that, until now, were considered diametrically opposed. The two versions differ in terms of their graphics and content, and while Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello is packed with standard equipment, Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S further raises the level of equipment and technology. Character and authenticity in an enduring design It is innovative not only in concept and technology, but also in its elegant, sporty design, which expresses simplicity and strength and is conceived to outlast passing trends. Like all Moto Guzzi, the design of the V100 Mandello showcases the engine, unique and inimitable, but the built-to-last style is far from nostalgic, giving the typical cornerstones of Moto Guzzi language a very modern twist. This is clear from the forms of the tank, which appear to be shaped directly by the muscular engine heads, the under-seat side panels, the slits of which are a direct reference to the legendary 1976 Le Mans 850, and the top fairing, a tribute to the 1981 Le Mans 850 III. Once again, Moto Guzzi proves to be one of few global manufacturers that need look no further than its own tradition for style inspiration. The challenge that Moto Guzzi Centro Stile designers faced was both complicated and fascinating. They set out to ensure the V100 Mandello remained as compact as possible, concealing all its technology within the narrow body and tasking these systems with ensuring rider protection and comfort, so as to transform the motorcycle into a real tourer. The identity of the new Moto Guzzi is immediately clear and unmistakable, however you look at it. Head-on, the DRL of the LED light cluster traces the outline of the eagle, while side-on, the fully visible engine design is an integral part of the bike's style, like a diamond nestled in a ring. The rear stands out for the design of the taillight unit, inspired by the afterburners of aircraft engines and similar to that successfully used on the V85 TT. One aspect that is immediately clear is the attention to detail, significant and sophisticated, in line with the reputation of the brand and the expectations of the demanding public to which it is dedicated. And the high level finishes don't stop with the body, every last centimetre of which is satisfying to look at and touch with your hands, but extend to the liquid-cooled engine, designed to be admired in its entirety. The very discreet positioning of the radiator and the absence of any visible rubber tubing, as well as painstaking work on the electronics system to conceal all wiring, enhance the sheer beauty of the mechanics.

The revolutionary “compact block” twin V100 Mandello showcases many important technological innovations. It is the first motorcycle to offer adaptive aerodynamics, and the first motorcycle to adopt advanced electronic solutions such as the six-axis inertial platform, cornering ABS, semi-active suspension, and quick shift, to name just a few of the most significant features. It is also the first Moto Guzzi to début the new engine known as “compact block”, the technical characteristics of which are modern and sophisticated. The initial project goals were clear, to design a very modern engine in terms of its construction and performance, while respecting the traditional architecture of the 90° transverse V-twin, a one-of-a-kind, which guarantees inimitable torque delivery and sound. A compact, lightweight engine to obtain an agile, sporty chassis; powerful, with a bold character and rich in torque, it is designed to equip a series of models and be able to flank Moto Guzzi through the next decades of its life, in accordance with the increasingly strict anti-pollution regulations; in line with the needs of contemporary riders who seek excitement with every twist of the throttle but who are increasingly aware of fuel consumption and maintenance costs. This is why technicians opted for a brand new design, which does not share even one component with previous engines built in Mandello. A 90° transverse V-twin with liquid cooling and double overhead camshaft with finger followers controlled with a chain and four valves per cylinder. The effective engine capacity is 1042 cc, while the bore-stroke values are 96 x 72 mm. The new crankcase exploits wet sump lubrication, with a crank chamber that is separated from the oil pan by a reed valve. This system allows for a lower engine, thanks to a shallower oil pan, thereby saving on space and lowering the masses to the benefit of handling. In addition, reducing the lubricant in the crank chamber makes for less friction and, therefore, lower fuel consumption, while also contributing to limiting the dimensions. A real effort has been made to reduce inertia to a minimum (up to 50% less with respect to the previous 1200 8V engine), so as to reduce the weight and ensure a prompt response. A counter-rotating crankshaft does not serve to balance first order forces, which are already perfectly balanced thanks to the 90° architecture, but to reduce the overturning torque to the benefit of rideability, eliminating any unwanted reaction when accelerating or decelerating. The addition of this component has also allowed for a smaller, more lightweight crankshaft, benefiting overall compactness and performance. The external crankcases are designed to have a structural function, strengthening the frame by way of six fastening points. The rider footpegs are also affixed to the crankcases with the interposition of some rubber pads, the exceptional engine balance preventing any vibration. The brand new design has allowed for a truly compact engine, 103 mm shorter than the V85 TT small block and lighter than the 1200 8V, the last 'four valve' to be produced by Moto Guzzi. An important contribution is also made by the new hydraulic multi-plate wet clutch with anti-juddering system, more robust, reliable, compact and lightweight than the single-plate dry clutch adopted until now. Even the alternator adopts a new and more advantageous position, no longer placed frontally but inside the V of the cylinders.   The new twin also stands out from all the engines recently built in Mandello del Lario for its cylinder heads, which are rotated by 90°, a decision that increases legroom and rationalises the positioning of components in the intake and electronic injection systems. The two throttle bodies have shorter, straighter high turbulent ducts that can optimise the supply of air/fuel mix to the combustion chambers with clear benefits in terms of power, delivery and consumption, as well as the reduced emission of polluting gases. The adoption of a double overhead camshaft with finger followers allows for more aggressive valve lift laws, which benefits performance but also makes for ideal combustion, by eliminating any fuel waste. Contributing to this is the Ride-by-Wire electronic control, which ensures delicate throttle management without any kind of on-off effect when opening/closing. The new and more efficient powertrain is also significantly quieter than that of previous 1200 8V engines. Rotation of the cylinder heads has allowed for the design of an exhaust system with two curvy manifolds that merge into a dual-outlet exhaust tip. The manifolds have carefully designed protectors to deviate hot air flow away from the rider's legs. The six-speed gearbox exploits the patented technology of the first two gears with reduced free play, already used on the V85 TT, which eliminates any delay in shifting for smooth, rapid gear changes, but is totally new in that it is designed specifically for this engine. And the prompt response that low inertia and very rapid gear shifting affords has allowed for the quick shift to be introduced on a Moto Guzzi engine for the first time. This electronic device supports the rider when engaging the gear and up-shifting to ensure lightning-fast shifting without use of the clutch.  Performance is overtly sporty, with a maximum power of 115 HP at 8700 rpm and maximum torque of 105 Nm at 6750 rpm, with 82% already available at 3500 rpm and the limiter set at no fewer than  9500 rpm. Data that effectively showcases the character and power of the new engine, gutsy and with real drive already at low speeds, and able to offer a riding experience worthy of the Moto Guzzi name. That said, the modern design has also allowed for an engine with restrained consumption (4.7 l/100 km) and favourable maintenance costs, with a scheduled service interval of 12,000 km. The cardan final drive makes use of an aluminium single-sided swingarm now positioned on the left side. The transmission shaft outlet, now much lower, and the very high longitudinal development of the swingarm allow for full control of the lift effect when the throttle is first opened with no need to use reaction rods on the swingarm, for smooth riding in both acceleration and deceleration as with a chain drive but with all the advantages of the cardan (less maintenance and greater cleanliness). This system is unique in that there is only one universal joint on the swingarm pivot tilted by 6° in order to ensure the central area of the bike remains very narrow, reducing weight and benefiting ergonomics, and also for the fact that the bevel gear is positioned at 84° (and not 90° like all other Moto Guzzi), to allow the swingarm to accommodate a generous 190/55 tyre, mounted on a 6" rim, which once again highlights the sports attitude of the new Moto Guzzi.

Chassis architecture: for sport and touring The sports attitude of V100 Mandello is not just down to the performance of the new engine, but also the qualities of the compact, easy to handle chassis that promises excitement through the turns and great stability over long distance, characterised by real feeling with the front wheel, which translates into fun and riding pleasure. Technical choices that are the result of a design culture for which the Piaggio Group motorcycle brands have always stood out. Such wonderful, fulfilling riding is essentially the result of optimum weight distribution and the lowering of masses, permitted by the architecture of the engine and the 17-litre fuel tank that extends under the seat. But it is also thanks to the particular layout of the steel tube frame that exploits the engine as a load-bearing element to achieve just the right rigidity to ensure stability and riding precision while also reducing the weight. A 1475 mm wheelbase and headstock angle of 24.7° translate into agility and sports attitude on winding routes.  And its touring attitude is boosted thanks to the significant comfort that the generous saddle, just 815 mm from the ground, and active, relaxed riding position afford. The adoption of a single variable-section aluminium handlebar is in line with the philosophy of the model, perfect for ensuring control during sports riding while also offering a higher and more relaxed riding position when touring. Two-person travel is at the base of the project, and the passenger can count on a large, well padded portion of saddle and practical grab handles, the seating position making for a pleasurable, relaxing ride. One ingenious addition is the case fastening system (available in the extensive dedicated accessories catalogue) that needs no additional support and leaves the overall aesthetic unchanged when not in use, thus saving on weight and minimising any lateral bulk. To affix cases, the user need simply lift the passenger seat and position the case hooks in the dedicated housing. The suspension and brakes also guarantee sports riding fun and control as well as safety and comfort over longer distances. Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello adopts a Kayaba 41 mm fork with adjustable rebound and spring preload. The shock is by the same manufacturer and can be adjusted in its rebound and spring preload via the practical manual control. Its sloped positioning has been studied and refined to offer progressive intervention and sensitivity when it comes to absorbing any bumps in the road surface. Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S also makes use of the advanced Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension system, which can read the asphalt and adapt bike setup accordingly, moment by moment. The ECU that governs the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension has access to all the bike's electronic systems, meaning it is able to recognise all riding phases and adapt calibration of the fork, shock absorber and steering damper hydraulics thanks to the development of an algorithm, the fruit of collaboration between Öhlins and Moto Guzzi. The system effectively adjusts the suspension hydraulics settings, moment by moment, to ensure the best possible setup in all conditions. In addition, its increased ability to mirror any unevenness in the road heightens the level of comfort and riding pleasure. The particular technology of the Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension system allows simple and customised calibration of the fork and shock absorbers with two operating modes, semi-active and manual, both of which can be selected using the buttons on the handlebar. Two maps, Comfort and Dynamic, adjust the suspension in different ways and select the semi-active contribution. The first is designed to offer maximum comfort while travelling and is also suitable for everyday riding, thanks to its greater ability to absorb imperfections in the road surface. The Dynamic mapping is designed to support sports riding on the road, ensuring very controlled bike behaviour, ideal for the kind of winding roads riders enjoy so much. In manual mode, on the other hand, the two maps offer two types of predefined calibration without semi-active assistance, in the same way that conventional multi-adjustable suspension systems operate. In both semi-active and manual mode, and within each of the two aforementioned logic maps, the user still has the possibility to fine tune suspension calibration based on personal taste and riding style. The OBTi (Objective Based Tuning Interface), visible on the colour TFT instrumentation of Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S, makes for intuitive setting operations. The OBTi operating logic is based on the goals the rider wants to achieve during each riding phase: for example, greater support during braking if the rider wants more controlled bottoming of the NIX fork, or greater support in acceleration if they want more support from the TTX shock absorber when opening the throttle. Manual adjustment of the shock (via the practical manual control) and fork spring pre-load is also possible.  At the front, the Brembo braking system sees radial callipers act on a pair of 320 mm floating steel discs. The handlebar cylinder is also radial, as is that of the clutch (both have levers that are adjustable in their distance from the handlebar). The rear brake counts on a 280 mm disc served by a two-piston calliper. Both Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello versions are equipped with Pirelli Angel GT II tyres.

The first in the world with adaptive aerodynamics Moto Guzzi technology contributes to increasing both comfort and air protection, with the world-first adoption of an adaptive aerodynamics system that automatically adjusts the position of deflectors on the sides of the litre tank depending on the speed and selected Riding Mode. A step into the future to make a technology as yet unexplored in the two-wheeled sector available to everyone, so as to contain the overall dimensions and offer protection and comfort only when needed and requested by the rider. The electronic-adjust top fairing and fully opened deflectors reduce air pressure on the rider by 22%, bringing V100 Mandello closer to the level of protection afforded by larger and decidedly less sporty touring models. This is the result of hundreds of hours spent on simulations using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) calculation software and in the wind tunnel, as well as extensive fine tuning on the road of course.
