Rider Profile

Best ForSuited to experienced riders comfortable with the unique handling demands of a sidecar outfit; not for newcomers.
PurposeRelaxed two- or three-up touring and characterful classic cruising, hauling a passenger or gear in the sidecar over long distances.
Rider FitHeavy 331kg outfit with upright seating and low-revving V-twin torque; wide footprint, deliberate steering that requires physical input.
CharacterClassic air-cooled Moto Guzzi transverse V-twin with shaft drive; unhurried, torquey and stable, oozing old-world charm rather than pace.
Not Ideal ForAnyone chasing speed, cornering thrills, track days, nimble city filtering or off-road use.
