Rider Profile

Best For	Best suited to riders with some experience handling a heavy, torque-driven classic with shaft drive characteristics.
Purpose	Designed as a long-distance shaft-drive tourer with relaxed V-twin power delivery rather than outright performance.
Rider Fit	At 240 kg the bike demands solid low-speed handling skills and some physical strength when maneuvering at a standstill.
Character	A classic Moto Guzzi with a torquey air-cooled V-twin, shaft drive shaft-shaft feel, and dual front discs giving it a dependable, unhurried road presence.
Not Ideal For	Not a good fit for riders seeking sharp agility, high top speed, or off-road capability.
