If you’re anything like me then you most likely have been to a café to study before. And why not? Why wouldn’t you want a good atmosphere or distraction from the regular draining space of your room or kitchen, maybe a place to refresh yourself from loud flatmates and dirty sinks? Moto Guzzi has decided to go whole-heartedly down the retro motorcycle route, and the Moto Guzzi V7 Café Classic is the latest Guzzi to be given the treatment.. Essentially a restyled V7 Classic, the Café Classic is built around the Breva chassis and 750cc engine. Nothing wrong there, as the Breva 750 and the V7 Classic are both fine motorcycles, so using an already proven platform makes economic sense. But where last year’s V7 Classic took its styling clues from the “loop frame” V7 Specials of the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Café has been designed specifically to mimic the beautiful lines of the V7 Sport, Guzzi’s iconic factory café racer from the early 1970s. There was an ABS recall on the latest models and before that there were no recalls and no other issues. The post-war era also saw the United Kingdom experience the beginning of a golden era in Grand Prix racing, with a slew of Brits such as Fergus Anderson, Freddie Frith, Bob Foster, Geoff Duke, John Surtees, Phil Read, and Mike “The Bike” Hailwood dominating top-level racing in the 1950s and ‘60s. This undoubtedly played a pivotal role in influencing café culture, with enthusiasts borrowing and adapting race parts for use on their road-going bikes. This is also why cafe racers bare such a striking resemblance to the competition machines of half-a-century-ago, as well as why these race-derived bikes traditionally sport a headlight.

It’s difficult, if not impossible to pin down which bike was the first true production café racer, as the genre slowly evolved into being over time. Complicating the matter even more is the fact that production café models are by no means a new phenomenon, with every decade since the 1950s offering turn-key models that we would today classify as café racers. In the late ‘50s and ‘60s, AJS had their 7R “Boy Racers” while Norton famously produced its Manx model. The 1970s saw even more café’d bikes, including an increase in models from Italy such as Moto Guzzi’s Le Mans and Laverda’s Jota and SFC. In the 1980s Honda released its GB500 TT, which today we’d view as something of an archetypal café racer.

DPD Local is devoted to delivering the best parcel service, and we are proud they have been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for their unique one hour delivery service. With route optimisation, unbeatable safety protocols and exceptional efficiency we are sure you will be pleased with your delivery service.Riding Position: While café racers typically sport the clip-ons and rear-sets that allow for a tight, hunched-forward rider’s triangle, the truth is that, while this setup looks cool and allows for more spirit riding, it just isn’t very practical for commuting or day-to-day riding (assuming you don’t spend 90% of your saddle time in the canyons). Consider your intended use, and whether a bike’s riding position is conducive to that. It’s also worth noting you can always swap out any model’s handlebars or foot-controls with relative ease. We can arrange bespoke delivery solutions for you on very little notice. We pride our ability to find the most competitive delivery through our large network of delivery partners including national and international couriers, private hires and independents.

This would make a great addition to anyone’s garage, however I don’t think I could have it in isolation. It is great at what it does, however something with a little more poke would be required for those bigger mileage trips at higher speeds. Why not find yours on MCN Bikes For Sale now?As a relative newbie to the whole retro scene, I was initially a little sceptical about the Moto Guzzi V7 and, indeed, all retro bikes. Are they all style over substance, or can they actually offer me a riding thrill? Within a mile I had my answer. The little Guzzi is quirky and full of character and I was instantly smitten with it. The modern café racer craze that persists today arguably began at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show when Ducati pulled the cover off its revolutionary Sport Classic: a modern L-Twin dressed up in unmistakably vintage aesthetics. A few years later, and not only had Ducati released its Pierre Terblanche-penned modern-retro, but Triumph also followed suit with its Thruxton model. With the success of the Thruxton, it didn’t take long for other major manufacturers to catch onto what was happening and toss their hats into the proverbial café ring. Fast-forward to today and café racers have gone from a niche style to a widely-recognized production model genre.

Minus points are few. There’s no storage behind the side panels, and I gave up trying to remove the seat after fiddling with it for a minute or two. The yellow engine management warning light stayed on for long periods, but I just ignored it and kept riding, and it went out again. There’s also no center stand, but seeing as this bike is meant to embody the spirit of a café racer, stripped down for speed, it’s begrudgingly allowed. They are pretty bullet proof, actually. They are quite a basic bike – in modern terms – and there are not a lot of thrills on it. All you’ve got is fuel injection on this model, however a good service history is still always important though.The one downfall of the Grand that I must mention, is that often you must bear in mind that it does get busy. Sometimes it can be difficult finding a seat as it is quite small, so bear that in mind. Apart from that, I highly recommend it, after all, the Grand is, well…grand! The Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe Classic is a brilliant introduction to the world of retro motorcycles and offered Senior Online Reporter, Dan, a brief eye-opening glimpse into the genre.
