How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- Built as a relaxed, shaft-driven naked roadster for everyday riding and light touring rather than track work.
- Built for
- Has the classic Moto Guzzi personality: a low-revving air-cooled V2 with shaft drive, transverse engine feel, and understated Italian style over aggressive performance.
- Not ideal for
- Not the right choice for riders seeking high-revving sportbike thrills, off-road capability, or the latest in cutting-edge electronics.
