Special tools - see why you'll need them. Gearing - Contains a nice utility for calculating gear ratios, Wiring - more warnings than help, I guess.Д¬arburetor - drawings, charts, and a how-to guide. Tuning - information on what will make it go faster. Gasoline - will a Moto Guzzi run on unleaded gasoline ?Д®xpected mileage of parts - a VERY rough guide to the expected lifetime of various parts. I think IвЂ™d rather those than traction control.Moto Guzzi frame numbers - is your bike what's its supposed to be ? The instruments have plenty of info such as two trips, ambient temperature, etc. The riderвЂ™s seat is also now lower at 769mm which makes it easy to plonk your feet down and steady the bike as your pillion mounts and dismounts. She also liked the lower pillion pegs which are set further forward for a more relaxed position. My wife liked the low seat as it made it easy to get on and off to take photos along the way. My pillion and I found the bike very comfortable for an all-day ride through small towns, some autostrada and winding mountain roads. The new rear brake master-cylinder provides much more feel and effect from the rear brake which allows you to trail brake through corners and assist with those really tight hairpins. However, on left-handers the side stand scrapes into the tarmac a little too often. On the super-tight turns, I was thankful for the smooth fuelling which also assists slow feet-up U-turns. Steering is a little slow, especially with the extra rear weight, but it isnвЂ™t ponderous, and it negotiated the hairpin turns with aplomb. It immediately feels planted, even with a pillion aboard. The V7 III is now a more capable handler with steeper steering geometry, a reinforced headstock and new Kayaba twin shocks with preload adjustment. The system can be recalibrated for different tyre circumferences. It now comes with two-stage traction control that can be switched off. There is none of the shaft snatch of previous Guzzis, and the torque effect (sideways lurch under acceleration and deceleration) of the motor has also been dialled down for better manners when rolling on and off the throttle mid-corner. The ratios have been widened with a lower first gear for better acceleration and a taller sixth gear for an easy highway gait. The transmission is also slicker and less clunky with an easy-to-find neutral and no false neutrals. It certainly feels and sounds a whole lot more refined and sophisticated than the previous series. Moto Guzzi says power is up 3kW to 38kW, but torque remains the same at a healthy 60Nm. Timing is controlled by a traditional system of pushrods and rockers with two valves per cylinder, now arranged in an inclined position. The bottom end has a new crankshaft and sump, with a reworked ventilation system to reduce power loss due to the internal pumping of the crankcase chambers and a reduced capacity oil pump capable of absorbing less power.

The engine has new piston heads and cylinders plus a new exhaust with double manifolds for better heat insulation. The whole V7 III range has been updated for Euro 4 pollution compliance but still remains air cooled. There are also plenty of black anodised components such as a billet aluminium locking fuel cap, black headlight frame, injector covers and rear brake master cylinder.Дespite its dark and mean demeanour, the Carbon V7 III has an enjoyable soulful character thanks to its traditional transverse V-twin engine. The seat is finished with red stitching and composed of water-repellent Alcantara.

It features carbon fibre fenders and side panels, matte black paint, contrasting red engine heads and a unique serial number on an identification plate on the handlebar risers. Only 1921 Carbon bikes will be built to coincide with the year Moto Guzzi was established.

I was lucky enough to pick up the flagship Carbon recently from the factory at Mandello del Lario in Italy and ride it around beautiful Lake Como. Moto GuzziвЂ™s top-selling model is the V7, now in its third iteration with five standard models and a new limited-edition Carbon.
