MY25 V7-850 UPDATES?!

Indeed the old stock ones seemed A bit on the huge/long side…

They were developed for the Mk III with cat-cons, and when they added cats IN the headers on the E5 models, they (not too) surprisingly reused them as-is. I suspect the new ones shown here no longer have cats in them. We shall see.
On the photo posted above, it looks like they are still using the small MIU.Gx ECU/TB combo, and NOT the big version from the 85TT. Curious also if they still use the pressed crank/rod combo and non-ti valve heads. MSRP may give the answer.
If anyone surfaces more info or pics/video from EICMA, please post here.
 
Looks like they are calling this the "V7 Sport" (so the color now makes sense) - But it's a bit of a gut punch to the original big block (see image below). They're still showing the standard Stone with conventional (Kaifa) forks and single brake disk in the video below.

A few more notes from; cycleworld.com/bikes/moto-guzzi-v7-series-first-look/

I was wrong on a few things... and MORE electronic intervention. Yuck.

The adoption of ride-by-wire throttle control, with new 52mm throttle body, which allows for customizable power delivery and, Guzzi says, increased power. Peak horsepower is now 67.3, according to the brand, and torque has grown from 53 lb.-ft. at 5,000 rpm to 58.2 lb.-ft. at 4,400 rpm, with 95 percent of that grunt available at 3,500 rpm. Other improvements across the range include a 27 percent increase in airbox volume and improved piston cooling, while the exhaust system has been optimized for smoother torque delivery, adding a third lambda sensor to meet the new Euro 5+ requirements. Although all models will have Road and Rain modes (and cruise control), the V7 Sport will also get a Sport mode. The 2025 V7 Sport also brings a six-axis IMU that enables cornering traction control and cornering ABS functionality. The additional Sport mode offers minimal traction control intervention along with more responsive and dynamic throttle feel; cornering-optimized ABS is active on both wheels.

Guzzi has also taken the need to adopt Euro5+ as an opportunity to give the classic V7 a major revamp.

Despite meeting the tighter emissions restrictions, the V7 engine remains fully air-cooled and even gains a 4% power boost – peaking at just over 67bhp at 6,900rpm. The V7 range remains one of the most traditional designs on the market, with Moto Guzzi’s transversely mounted 853cc 90° V-twin, air-cooled with pushrod and rocker arm distribution operating two valves per cylinder. Ride-by-wire throttle and modifiable maps add to the modernity, but shouldn’t detract from the retro riding experience we’ve always loved.



Moto Guzzi V7 Sport




Three models of the new V7 will be sold, with the classically styled Special joined again with the more blacked out and stripped back Stone. New for 2025 is the V7 Sport, which has upgraded chassis components – addressing one of the main areas of weakness we identified when we rode the previous V7 a few years ago. The Sport replaces the basic telescopic forks with more modern upside down units. It also gets a twin disc front brake arrangement utilising radially mounted Brembo calipers. The Sport also benefits from some upgraded electronics, with a ‘Sport’ riding mode and cornering ABS and traction control facilitated by a six-axis IMU.

The Moto Guzzi V7 Sport also gets a bunch of more premium parts, including lighter wheels, bar end mirrors, a different seat and other small trim changes, like aluminium headlight brackets and a new handlebar top clamp. We think it looks great and can’t wait to take one for a spin

Say goodbye to the 2 analog clocks and non-LED logo headlight on the Special. I'm glad I got my '23

From above… Three models of the new V7 will be sold, with the classically styled Special joined again with the more blacked out and stripped back Stone.
So maybe they won’t kill the Special just yet.

I read elsewhere that the special will still be available but sounds like just a chrome package, apparently all models will have the single digital clock and the LED Eagle headlight (that I personally find gaudy). We'll see

Now that it has the 52mm throttle body, it should open it up to even more power gains, on par with the v85 tt I would imagine, or am I mistaken?

From the thread below, the E5 V7-850 has ~65 at the tire. I’d imagine it can get close with air-box mods, full exhaust and fuel correction. Depends on the cam they use, and the 85TT has titanium internals, which we got to ~83. We shall see in time (if we find anyone local so interested).

Thread '2021-on V7-850 E5 Performance thread'

All, this thread will house performance info on the 2021+ E5 V7-850.

UPDATE: We FINALLY have ECU access using the GTM BT FT. Below is an overlay of GTM Drags (with stock air filter) and our tune (70.6 hp red trace/56.4 lb.ft. blue trace) vs. stock with UpMap (64.4 hp orange trace/52.1 lb.ft green trace).

GTM-DRGS-V7-850-vs-Ago-NoDB.jpg

The dyno run below is OEM bone stock (orange/light blue) vs. Agostini shorts (no db-killers) with our SAS Kit & UpMap (red/dark blue) -- NOTE that all E5 models have two cat-cons per side, one in the headers, one in the mufflers.
64 rwhp is...

I like the new stock mufflers, ride-by-wire with modes, the supposed cruise control (according to what MotoBob on YouTube was told at EICMA, but he couldn't find it), and improved stock power. But those darn upside-down forks still kill it for me.

I'll be keeping my '22 Stone and it's fork boots!

The Special has chrome, spokes and dual gauges for the older crowd. Stone(r) has had matte paint (it's glossy looking in the top photo above), cast wheels and single gauge for the young(er) crowd. Heh.

I'm in my 30s so consider myself youngish and I have a V7 Special. It's just a gorgeous bike everyone can appreciate.
