Frame Number: VK 13491Homologation Number: DGM 9104 Motor Number: 32320Time warp is an overused word when it comes to cars and motorcycles, but on this bike it’s absolutely true. The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is one of the original machines all of the retro bikes patterned themselves after. Everything on this motorcycle is just the way it should have been in the early 70’s, besides the gas, oil, and tires. This Moto Guzzi V7 Sport is one of the best V7 Sport Guzzi’s I’ve ever seen or owned. The cosmetic condition of this machine is just as good as it looks in the photos. Everything on this motorcycle is original save for the paint on the tank and side covers, which was done to exacting period specifications. The seat is also in original condition and beautiful. The motor and frame numbers are also factory correct and original. And the running condition of the machine is flawless, starting immediately. This bike has been part of my collection for years and was ridden on a regular basis, running and riding with absolutely no issues, until it was installed as a static display in my museum warehouse. This machine is listed as a 1973 model, and although the title states 1973, It is most likely a 1974 model with the front disc brake. All of the 1974 models were produced at the end of 1973. As you can also see from the photos in the photo section, I believe the machine has had absolutely no restoration performed to any part of it, except for the paint on the tank and side covers. The condition is EXACTLY what it looks like in the photos. Overall, the cosmetic appearance of the bike is about what you would expect from a 22,000 mile original machine. The Guzzi has been maintained and ridden throughout it’s life, and besides the tires, every part of the bike is original and unmodified. The Lime Green Metallic paint on the tank and side covers was done at some point under a previous owner’s stewardship, and was done to the exact standard and shade as the original finish. It has never had any type of paintwork or touchup since. All of the rubber is all in very nice condition, and none of those pieces have been replaced. And all of the chrome and stainless is also in near flawless condition and original. The bike has never been in any type of accident or been dropped at any time. The original Moto Guzzi exhaust system is in stunning original condition, with no pitting or bluing to the headers and the wire spoked wheels are original to the machine and beautiful. The V7 Sport runs and rides the way you expect a machine with this type of mileage to run. The Guzzi is on static display right now, but was properly prepped for long term storage beforehand. All of the mechanical components have been checked over to ensure they work properly including the clutch, Brembo brakes up front, and drum brake at the rear. The 30mm Del Lorto carburetors were completely re-built last season and function perfectly, and there will be a new battery installed upon the sale of the motorcycle. The inside of the gas tank is beautiful. I only use Sunoco Optima high octane/non-ethanol fuel in this and all of my bikes, so fuel related issues are never an issue. The tires installed on the machine are in very nice condition, with no dry rot or cracks evident, and while they are technically aged out, are in perfectly ridable condition and basically as new, having not been exposed to direct UV sunlight. A complete tune up and general maintenance was performed, including engine/transmission oil change, flushing and replacing the brake fluid, adjusting the clutch and chain, etc. There is absolutely nothing you will have to do to this motorcycle to ride and enjoy it. According to the owner:I do not have a riding video of the V7, as it is stored. But if you purchase the machine, I will guarantee it will be in perfect running condition when you pick it up or receive it after shipping. I take my collection seriously, and I take the passing on of my machines to the next owner seriously, so please rest assured you will receive exactly what is represented here in the ad.If you’d like any additional photos of any particular part of the motorcycle, please let me know. I’m happy to email or text it to you. And if you would like to inspect the bike or ask any questions, please email or contact me by phone or text at Six Three Zero, Four Three Zero, Three Eight Five Five anytime. A word about the numbers of this machine: The bike was imported from Italy LONG AFTER they were sold new here. European bikes of this period never have a VIN Tag where the frame and engine number matched. This frame production number is not to be confused with the factory “homologation” number of DGM 9104 OM which is stamped on the head tube of all V7 Sport’s to identify the type of the frame. Frame ranges are VK11262 to VK 13842 The only bike that will match frame with engine are the US Market bikes Berliner imported where a tag was used to cover the original frame number. For US regulations the tag had to match the engine. Neither Moto Guzzi nor Ducati ever matched them up. The VA Title has VK 13491 which is on the frame as well as the DGM 9104 Homologation Number.The Italian import papers have VK13491 as well. It’s real and it is original save for the re-paint. I have a motorcycle collection made up of Italian, American, German, and Japanese big bore motorcycles, some of which I will be selling soon. If you have specific questions, just want to learn more, or are looking for something in particular, please let me know. I’m also always looking for other vintage motorcycles to add to my collection, so if you have something interesting to share, please contact me.The description of this vehicle is written to the best of my knowledge. However, I am by no means an expert on vintage Moto Guzzi motorcycles. This motorcycle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed, written or implied. Please don’t hesitate to ask for more photos and, if possible, come and look in person before the auction ends. ALL SALES ARE FINAL! If you have any questions, please contact me before the auction ends. If you have any questions, please contact me. If you live close to Chicago, I encourage you to come and inspect the motorcycle in person. I welcome ALL international bidders and am happy to assist with making shipping arrangements. I can also arrange for shipment on my end for a nominal extra charge. If you are an international buyer, I understand it can take some time to arrange shipping, so I do not mind keeping the motorcycle for a longer period of time until pick up. Please contact me before the sale ends, if possible, to discuss the specifics. Thanks for your interest!
