Between Main and 4th Street, the thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts were also be able to take an exclusive road test on the Moto Guzzi V7 III, the third generation of the V7 legend, which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, as well as the V9 Roamer and V9 Bobber: models that attract new segments of bikers, drawing from the legendary heritage of the brand, made up of authenticity and passion, while at the same time always looking to the future in terms of style and innovation.
