Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V7 II Stone 2015

Far away from the performance and elbow society, a happy person, completely at ease with himself, chugs across the country with his V7 and wonders about the horsepower armament industry and its loyal consumers. For the V7, 48 hp is enough to satisfy its drivers completely. It is about motorised locomotion, not about motorised record chasing. The aim is to broaden the horizon of life, not just by changing location, but by changing perspective and having the courage to live individually. The V7 is like an old friend you know everything about and can tell everything to. A motorbike like from the good old days.

Modest performance

mediocre workmanship

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Audace 2018

The Moto Guzzi Audace doesn't really need traction control, selectable engine mappings or cruise control, because it's all about one thing: a powerful performance. But its powerful body also has enough room for modern electronic gadgets, which are undoubtedly also justified and useful in a power cruiser. The bike can be ridden in a sporty manner, the lean angle is acceptable, the brakes are up to the masses and the powerful engine has enough power to push the almost 320 kg plus rider forward. Big bike made in Italy.

impressive, wicked look

thick, iconic engine

rich torque

Weak standard sound

uncomfortable seating position in the long run

stylistically inappropriate instruments
