Rider Profile

Best For	This bike suits riders with at least some experience, as the transverse V2 layout and shaft drive require a bit of familiarity to ride smoothly.
Purpose	It was built as a modest, general-purpose standard motorcycle for everyday roads rather than for outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider Fit	A low seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to riders of varying size and strength.
Character	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.
