Looks like the V7II will get the new oil bathed alternator, a new 6-spd gearbox, ABS & MGCT (to harness it's raw power).
Moto Guzzi has just revealed this new version of its V7, with two-channel ABS and traction control.
The popular retro bike - which is suitable for A2 licence holders - also gets geometry tweaks, with the 744cc V-twin engine tilted forward 4° and lowered 10mm to increase rider leg room.
Both the seat and pegs have been lowered.
It's the second surprise new model announcement from Piaggio, parent company of Aprilia and Guzzi, five days ahead of the expected unveiling at the Intermot Cologne motorcycle show.
A release on the V7 said:
