How it rides
Editorial estimate from the spec sheet - not lab tested- Best for
- It was built as a modest, general-purpose standard motorcycle for everyday roads rather than for outright speed or long-distance touring.
- Built for
- The V 65 has classic Moto Guzzi charm with its air-cooled V-twin character, offering relaxed, torquey delivery rather than aggressive performance.
- Not ideal for
- It is not a good fit for riders seeking high speed thrills, off-road capability, or serious long-haul touring comfort.
Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
