In 1965, the original Moto Guzzi V7 engine was 703cc and the brainchild of the talented engineer Giulio Vesare Carcano. This twin-cylinder 90° transverse V air-cooled engine enters into production in 1966 and the V7 hits the market in 1967. Since then the V7, it has gone up from the original 703cc to a 750cc and then a 850cc capacity, as well as gaining a 6th gear in the V7 II.
I’ve used this particular MotoGuzzi V7 classic for the last few years and it has done over 28000 miles and is still going strong. Even though it is full of Italian character, it has also proved it self to be a reliable work horse.

Its not a "choke". Its a "cold starting device" If adjusted correctly it holds a little bit of throttle on to aid starting from cold.
Yours must want setting, the inner cable will have pulled thru the screw on the operating arm, its an easy fix.
But both the fuel injector arm return springs & its own operating arm return spring tend to knock some of it off so you may find you require to put some back with the twist grip.
That V7 MK 1 Classic is best looking of all the V7's, regret selling mine.
Hey.
I don't think I've seen a review of the new mutt drk01 yet. Is this on your list ?
enjoyed the vid, what a stunning bike!
love your "we won't throw ads at you" approach for the channel! 👍
safe riding and many happy customers in 2025!
Great video to start the year. I am completely opposite to you regarding brakes. I use lots of back brake on the road, but I do not use any on track. Love to see your Norton out on the road later in the year.
Nice review and great choice of bike (I own a black/gold edition so am fairly biased).The only reason to remove the tank is during regular service schedule to change the air filter but there is a workaround – remove both horns and rectifier which then allows access to the end of the air box under the tank between the cylinders. There is a tutorial somewhere online that covers this but saves the hassle replacing tank if it is removed and some shrinkage has occurred. Mine has no problems so far and ethanol not been a problem – I usually run on 99 octane fuel so minimal ethanol content. The only real downside of this model is the poor Italian chrome rims which can pit quite easily (mine are fairly good and get a regular coating of wheel wax to help protect them).
