Rider Profile

Best ForSuits riders with at least some experience handling a heavy, torque-driven cruiser with a shaft-drive transverse V-twin character.
PurposeBuilt for relaxed long-distance cruising and boulevard touring rather than outright speed or sport riding.
Rider FitA tall-ish 720mm seat combined with a substantial 245kg dry weight demands reasonable strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering off the stand.
CharacterDelivers classic Moto Guzzi charm with a low-revving, torquey air-cooled V2 feel, shaft-drive smoothness, and a stately, unhurried riding demeanor.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp cornering agility, off-road capability, or high-speed sport performance.
