BIKES: Are You Rough Enough? Moto Guzzi V7III Rough Launched In Malaysia!

DIDI Resources is proud to introduce the new V7 III Rough in Malaysia at RM75,000 with a limited no of units at a special introductory price of RM69,900. The units are available for viewing at our dealership at the Gasket Alley in Petaling Jaya and Sheng Fatt in Penang.

To pay tribute to the upcoming Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride 2018, we recently had the honour of Mr Simone Niccolai, Managing Director of Asia Pacific 2Wheeler, Piaggio Asia Pacific to dress up for the upcoming occasion (concept attire by Tiga Supply Co) to unveil the new V7 III Rough in Malaysia together with the management of DIDI Resources and Stronghold Cycles (the official dealer for Moto Guzzi at The Gasket Alley).

The V7 is one of the most celebrated and well-known Moto Guzzi models. This world fame is due to its ability to remain faithful to the expectations and reputation of a legendary brand like Moto Guzzi. Since 1967, the year the first units were sold in Italy, the V7 became a pillar of the product range and the representative of the Italian motorcycle par excellence, standing out for its content and design, highly popular with a transversal and varied public.

More than fifty years from the launch of the first unit, Moto Guzzi V7 III is the third act of a unique story. The challenge of introducing the V7 III was one of the most difficult, considering the emblem and the success of the V7. From 2009 it has also been the brand’s best selling model and constitutes the entry level bike for the Moto Guzzi world.

The Moto Guzzi V7 III Rough is priced at RM 75,000 with limited introduction units at RM69,900 and can be viewed at The Gasket Alley, Petaling Jaya and Sheng Fatt, Penang. For the full info on the Moto Guzzi V7III Rough, click to download this: Press Release V7III Rough.
