Rider Profile

Best For	Note: the listed category 'Speedway' does not match this machine, which is a classic Italian sport-touring roadster; best suited to riders with some prior experience of shaft-drive, torquey V-twins.
Purpose	Built for relaxed sport-touring and long, steady road miles rather than outright speed or track work.
Rider Fit	A solid, heavier machine that rewards a confident, physically engaged riding style, especially at low speeds and when maneuvering.
Character	Has the classic Moto Guzzi charm of a low-revving air-cooled V-twin with shaft-drive shaft torque reaction and old-school mechanical feel.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking modern sharp handling, off-road capability, or high-speed track performance.
