NEW MOTO GUZZI V7
More than fifty years after the launch of its first unit, Moto Guzzi is proud to present a new and important evolution of the V7. As well as a total revamp, this model will for the first time since 2007 be known as simply V7 and will drop the previously used Roman numerals from its name. The adhering character and authenticity of this bike will remain intact, as these features are classic, will not date and are part of Moto Guzzi's make up.
V7 Stone is available in four satin-finish colour schemes: Nero Ruvido, Azzurro Ghiaccio and Arancione Rame to which is added the special Centenary graphic, commemorating the first hundred years of life of the Larian brand, born in 1921.
V7 CENTENARIO
Half a century of incredible emotions
The V7 is never afraid to rewrite history, even after more than 50 years since it roared onto the scene. The world-revered Italian motorcycle icon maybe getting a celebratory makeover, but fear not the character and personality that’s made it such a timeless masterpiece will remain untouched.
A new Moto Guzzi engine makes its debut on the new V7, a close derivative of the one that powers the V85 TT. This is the most recent and modern drive built in Mandello, which guarantees better performance and overall greater efficiency in order to provide maximum riding pleasure, fun and reliability.
Compared to the previous version, the new addition from Mandello is generally more complete in terms of equipment and demonstrates superior maturity, also evident in the aesthetic impact of the larger engine, which stands out for its generously sized exhaust pipes in a different layout; the view from the rear highlights the larger cardan final drive, the wider rear wheel and the robust Kayaba shock absorbers.
The frame has been enhanced with the addition of steel elements in the headstock area. The new shock absorbers have greater travel and the new two-tier saddle / rider foot pegs ensure greater comfort.
V85 TT MY21
A dream on two wheels
There’s simply no other way to describe the V85 TT and the V8 TT Travel. The Euro 5-compliant engine with greater torque in low and medium speeds delivers a performance that is more powerful and thrilling than ever. Five riding modes mean even the most accomplished riders will find something to set their pulse racing. On the aesthetics front, there are stunning tubeless wheels and striking new graphics that show off every curve of the bike, to say nothing of the effect they’ll have on passers-by as you swoop round the curves of the road. Admit it, you’re already itching to don your helmet!
A bike for living, not simply riding
Sleek, practical and sporting the famous Moto Guzzi style, the V85 TT is the perfect companion, whether we’re talking about every day commuting or intrepid adventures. There’s no compromising on comfort and performance, and this is something not to be sneezed at in a market that is becoming increasingly cookie-cutter. The V85 TT has certainly delivered on its ambition to combine iconic design with all the bells and whistles of a modern enduro touring bike, and definitely earns the title of First and Only in Class when it comes to a classic enduro.
Distance poses no problem
The V85 TT Travel includes all the tech updates of its V85 TT sibling. It comes with all the features that you’ll need on a long trip, such as the Touring windshield, Urban series side panniers with increased capacity and reduced bulk, LED auxiliary lights, adjustable heated handgrips and last, but not least, the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia platform available as an extra.
Looks that pack a punch
The V85 TT comes in three brand-new graphic options, developed to show off every curve of its stylish frame. Choose from Nero Etna black, Giallo Mojave yellow and the striking red Rosso Uluru version.
Embrace the luxury of freedom
There is no doubt that the V85 TT has inherited the Moto Guzzi love of travel. It’s all about adventuring and exploring, and no bike more than this evokes vivid memories of the famous desert competitions of years gone by, such as the Paris-Dakar rally of the 1980s. And, even if the V85 TT is not quite a time machine, it comes close, recreating the freedom and thrills that have made the Mandello eagle so revered over the decades.
V9 MY 21
RIDING IS EASY, BUT DISMOUNTING IS ANYTHING BUT
Packed with new technology and engineering excellence, this is not a bike for anyone trying to keep a low profile.
With the completely overhauled twin-cylinder 850cc, 65 hp, 73 Nm engine and advanced frame, riding thrills are taken to a whole new level, while on the looks side, new finishes, foot pegs and saddle deliver all the style you’d expect from a bike sporting the Mandello eagle.
After all, it’s not by chance that Moto Guzzi custom bikes have been among the world’s most popular and beloved for over 100 years. Generations have revered their unique design and of course, at the heart of each is the legendary twin-cylinder 90° V-engine engine.
A century of tenaciousness, passion and testing come together in the V9 Roamer andV9 Bobber, to deliver an unbeatable combination of outstanding riding pleasure and showstopping style.
MODELS
Both models are available in a reduced-power variant to meet the criteria of a learner's or beginner's licence, meaning even young riders can enjoy the thrill of a V9. However, be warned, it may be hard to prise them off the saddle!
A remarkable engine
The most evident change is the new 850cc, 65 hp and 73 Nm engine. Sharing the same pedigree as the V85 TT, it delivers lively performance and is ably abetted by an improved frame that has been strengthened in the headstock area to increase stability and riding precision.
Sheer sophistication
Vibrations are a distant memory, with comfort taken to the nth degree. There is all you could ask of and more, with functions such as ABS and MGCT adjustable traction control, which you can also choose to disable. On top of this, the V9 Bobber boasts new a new digital instrument panel and a full-LED lighting system that highlights the silhouette of the Mandello eagle
All you need for great adventures
And of course, there are plenty of accessories to add that extra wow touch to both models, starting with the Moto Guzzi MIA multimedia system that connects your phone and bike to create a multi-functional onboard computer.
Colours
Style in abundance
The V9 Roamer comes in Grigio Lunare, an elegant shade of grey with glossy mudguards, fuel tank and side panels. Whether parked or in full flight on the road, it’s sure to attract admiring glances.
The V9 Bobber is available in Nero Essenziale, in keeping with its dark, nocturnal spirit, a characteristic that is further emphasised through the absence of any milling on the cylinder fins which are also totally black.
Tuono V4 1100 Factory voted Best Super Naked in 2019 MCN Awards
Tuono V4 1100 Factory recognised as class-leader in annual Motorcycle News Awards
Aprilia is proud to announce that the Tuono V4 1100 Factory has won the award for Best Super Naked in the 2019 MCN Awards.
The Tuono V4 1100 Factory beat competition from rival manufacturers including BMW, KTM and Yamaha to take the prize for Best Super Naked in the 2019 MCN Awards, the results of which were announced today.
For 2019 the top-spec Factory model benefits from the addition of Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension and steering damper. After riding the bike at its launch in Italy Michael Neeves, MCN’s Chief Road Tester said, “Aprilia have somehow managed to improve the unimprovable.” Read his full review here and watch the review here.
Simon Greenacre, Marketing Communications Coordinator at Aprilia/Piaggio Group in the UK said, “The Tuono V4 1100 Factory is a sensational package. It’s all there on paper – an astounding V4 engine complimented by a suite of cutting-edge electronics and high-spec parts from the likes of Brembo and Öhlins, all built around the frame from the RSV4 superbike. The result when riding is a perfect blend of power, poise, precision and pleasure. The Tuono V4 1100 Factory is often hailed as the perfect sports road bike and Aprilia is delighted that MCN has recognised its excellence with this accolade.”
Representing state-of-the-art in technology, the Tuono V4 1100 Factory is equipped with sophisticated electronic management that includes an advanced dynamic controls package with APRC, cornering ABS, quick shift active even in downshifting, pit limiter and cruise control. The unique 175 hp 65° V4 engine and racing frame provide unparalleled performance. Simply unrivalled, the Aprilia Tuono V4 has consistently been voted as one of the most exciting and exquisite motorcycles ever built.
The award for Best Super Naked from MCN is the second to be bestowed on the Tuono V4 1100 Factory in 2019, with the first coming from Auto Trader, which decreed the top-of-the-range Tuono to be its Best Naked in its 2019 Best Bike Awards.
APRILIA TUONO 660 FACTORY
23 November 2021, Milan, Italy – Descending directly from the Tuono V4 Factory, and inheriting its key values, the new Tuono 660 Factory boasts considerable equipment and performance. At 181kg and 100 HP, the Tuono 660 Factory is lighter, more powerful and sophisticated, and flaunts first-rate equipment.
The Factory versions of Aprilia sports bikes have always been flagship products, dedicated to the most demanding and skilled riders, who can appreciate the quality of the most sophisticated outfitting. Now, the Factory trim is also available for the Tuono 660, which makes for a Tuono with unparalleled dynamic qualities, the most efficient and fun to use on the road and a true generator of emotions, accessible to everyone. All this, while respecting the Aprilia 660 project that promises bikes with a sensational weight/power ratio that are lightweight, high-performance, and built around the brand-new latest generation Aprilia parallel twin.
With respect to Tuono 660, already widely recognised and appreciated by the public and critics for its outstanding chassis qualities, Tuono 660 Factory boasts a more sophisticated suspension, better suited to sports riding. The Kayaba fork with 41 mm stanchions is fully adjustable in its compression and rebound damping and spring pre-load, while the Sachs shock with a separate reservoir is also adjustable in its compression and rebound damping and spring pre-load.
There is an even better weight/power ratio, one of the main goals for all new Aprilia 660 models and already outstanding on the Tuono 660, thanks to the adoption of a light lithium battery that contributes to reducing the overall weight by roughly 2 kg (the kerb weight is now 181 kg) and also better engine performance.
A compact and lightweight latest-generation engine, the 660 cc forward-facing twin with DOHC timing and four valves per cylinder is the result of experience gained with the very powerful engine that equips RSV4, from which the construction philosophy and basic concepts derive. The engine has a load-bearing function and houses the aluminium swingarm in its rear section. Combustion is asymmetric and offset by 270° to obtain irregular combustion which translates into performance and sound similar to that of a V-twin. The maximum power is upped from 95 HP with the Tuono 660 to 100 HP with the Tuono 660 Factory. The engine boasts even more drive in acceleration, thanks to the use of a shorter final drive, with a 16-tooth pinion gear, one less than Tuono 660. The maximum torque remains unchanged, with 67 Nm at 8500 rpm, 80% of which is available from 4000 rpm, or 90% on reaching 6250 rpm.
Tuono 660 Factory offers a full suite of APRC electronic controls with a Ride-by-Wire electronic accelerator and six-axis inertial platform as standard. The latter, thanks to the accelerometers and gyroscopes it contains, is able to recognise the bike's condition with respect to the road, recording and processing the inputs that result from riding and sending the data to a control unit that intervenes to optimise the control parameters. The Tuono 660 Factory APRC includes ATC (Aprilia Traction Control), adjustable traction control characterised by high-performance intervention strategies; AWC (Aprilia Wheelie Control), the adjustable wheelie control system; ACC (Aprilia Cruise Control) to maintain a steady speed without using the throttle; AQS (Aprilia Quick Shift), the electronic gearbox that allows for very rapid shifting without closing the throttle or using the clutch. It is also equipped with the downshift function, to allow for clutchless downshifting; AEB (Aprilia Engine Brake), the adjustable system to control engine braking when closing the throttle; AEM (Aprilia Engine Map), with different mappings via which to alter the engine's character and delivery.
Tuono 660 Factory also benefits from multi-map Cornering ABS. With its extremely contained weight and dimensions, the system is able to optimise braking and ABS intervention through the corners, thanks to a specific algorithm that constantly monitors various parameters such as lateral acceleration, the pressure applied to the front brake lever, and the lean, pitch and yaw angle, modulating the braking action in order to optimise the ratio between deceleration and stability.
As with the Tuono 660, there are five customisable Riding Modes (three for road use and two for track use) to simplify life on-board. The rider needs only to choose the Riding Mode that best interprets his or her riding needs in order to automatically obtain the best settings in terms of traction control, wheelie control, engine brake, ABS and the other managed parameters. Adoption of the inertial platform has also allowed for activation of the “bending lights” function, incorporated into the front LED light cluster complete with perimeter DRL (this pair of additional lights illuminate the entire corner, increasing visibility when leaning).
With its reduced surfaces effectively highlighting a dynamic, sports character, the bike's design stands out for the innovative double fairing that serves as an aerodynamic appendage. The pressure of the air channelled between the two walls contributes to optimising stability at high speeds and, at the same time, increases rider comfort by protecting against direct air flow, also deflecting the hot air extracted from the engine. The Tuono 660 Factory version is further enhanced with the aggressive and sporty Factory Dark graphics and the presence of the single-seat tail fairing , painted in black and red and supplied as standard together with the passenger seat and footpegs. These pegs, like those of the rider, are the same as those of the Aprilia RS 660 but lighter.

APRILIA DORSODURO 900 REVIEWED | WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS
Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 Reviews
For 2017, we revised the Aprilia Shiver 900 and its brother, the Dorsoduro 900. Both bikes were unleashed to the press earlier this month in and around Ventura, Calif.
We already provided some review highlights in our “2017 Aprilia Shiver 900 Reviewed | What the Media Says,” but now it’s time for its supermoto counterpart, the Dorsoduro.
The Dorsoduro was launched in 2008 as a 750 model, but grows to 900cc for 2017. The 90-degree v-twin now produces 95 horsepower @ 8750 rpm, and 60 ft/lbs of torque @4 4500 rpm.
The new Dorsoduro arrives with three riding modes (Sport, Touring, Rain), traction control, ABS and a new color TFT digital gauge. The supermotard arrives with a 41mm Kayaba fork, three-spoke wheels and dual 320mm discs up front.
The styling speaks for itself, but how about the ride? Here’s what the world’s top journalist had to say about the 2017 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900.
Cycle World’s Sean MacDonald gets right to the versatility point of this Dorsoduro: “If you want something light and fun for around town, get the Husky. If you want something that you can take to a proper race track or tour with, get the Ducati. If you want a nice all-rounder, get the Yamaha. Or, if you have to have something Italian that does all three, get the Dorso.”
Ryan Adams of Motorcycle.com touches on styling “I have always appreciated the styling of these big supermoto-style bikes. The 2018 Dorsoduro, like the Shiver released concurrently, showcases great attention to detail which, in my opinion, elevates the appeal of the new 900s. The red valve cover, red trellis frame, wheel decals, loud graphics, and gold fork look fantastic and won’t allow you to mistake the bike for anything other than an Aprilia.”
Billy Bartels of Motorcycle Daily says “So despite the price premium over the Shiver, it turns out the Dorsoduro 900 is a fabulous deal … at least, when you consider the competing “supermoto” models. If you like the street-tracker style, you could possibly just get it for that and have a hell of a motorcycle. While I may sound damning with faint praise, make no mistake: If this is what you’re looking for, it’ll wow you with a sweet exhaust note, easy handling, fantastic braking, and gobs of torque.”
TJ Hinton of TopSpeed says: All in all, it’s a bike that was built using the best characteristics of two worlds with an emphasis on urban performance and agility, and really fairly versatile since it can be set up to race, tour, commute or do stunts.
Lance Oliver of Revzilla reports that “The added power and new features make the Dorsoduro a stronger competitor to the Hypermotard and a stylish alternative to a standard bike, for those who love the supermoto look. If that's you, then the Dorsoduro is definitely worth a look.”
Ultimate Motorcycling’s Nic de Sena wraps up the 2017 Aprilia Dorsoduro perfectly: “The bottom line is that the 2018 Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is an absolute blast. With a nice refresh to the platform, the Dorsoduro offers an aggressive yet light-hearted experience. This bike should be paired with friends and a good set of canyon roads or a track, but don’t let that stop you from getting the front-end light on the way to the office.”
