How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It's best suited to relaxed commuting and light backroad riding rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- The shaft-driven transverse V-twin and modest power give it a charming, mechanical character typical of vintage Moto Guzzi middleweights.
- Not ideal for
- It's not the right choice for riders seeking high speed, aggressive cornering performance, or serious two-up touring comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
