MOTO-GUZZI AUDACE (2015 - on) Review

It is comfortable except the bar position may be a little too sporty. Simple fix; swapping out for 2017 and up Audace handlebars. Great seat, comfortable peg position, and soaks up all but the worst bumps on the road.

Super user friendly motor that cam sit and cruise happily just above 2000 RPM or up to 5000 RPM, hauling. There is instant and smooth torque everywhere. Shifts are very positive and pleasant.

Great build quality, except the exhaust hardware needed loctite.

If only it got better than 35mpg. In its defense, combination of sport mode and mixed riding is all it sees. Otherwise most the maintenance is simple and enjoyable.

Personally I would be happier without the extra electronics but I admit cruise control is a plus.

Handles like a dream on the first test ride I was alredy scraping pegs on roundabouts not because there is no ground clearance but because it handles so well!! 310kg should never stop accelerate and handle so well but it does!! One needs to try it to belive it. I tried a Fat Bob 114 and this bikes beats that bike in all this categories!

This is the best thing about this bike it pulls like a train. Max tourqe is at 2750 rpm so you ride it till 4000rpm from 4000-5000rpm there is a drop in acceleration but once passed 5000rpm the engine hits it's power band and pulls like a train till red line. I tried a Fat Bob 114 and that bikes is leaving it behind in any gear.

No problems here no oil burning no electrical gremlins no problems what so ever. Starts every time and rides like a dream!

It's very thirsty!! In sport mode and my riding style I can get about 120 miles before the reserve light comes on. In rain mode it's about 150 miles but apparently one can do another about 50 miles before the tank is empty.

Three power maps, cruse control abs brembo brakes and traction control what more can one want. Plus there is the Moto Guzzi app that is given you all sort of informations like lean angles and so on.

Surprisingly very comfortable, cruise control is great, tank range of around 150 miles.

Sounds epic. Tons of torque low down makes riding it effortless. If you like to arrive in style then you will not be disappointed. Its not the fastest bike, but open her up and listen to that engine.

So far so good, 3000 miles and the bike still looks like new.

My nearest dealer is 65 miles away. Moto Guzzi could do with having more dealers.

Favourite feature cruise control. Really comfortable seat. Beautifully finished with little details that you don`t notice at first and then find across the bike.
