VOL- UME 57 ISSUE 27 JULY 7, 2020 P65
Moto Guzzi have the same owners), the Guzzi's
shift is a touch notchy, not by much, but you'll
likely never miss a gear because you're the one
modulating revs to shift correctly, not a computer.
Throughout our time with the Guzzi, we aver-
aged 48.7 mpg, giving a theoretical range 296
miles for a full tank. Not bad at all.
The motor doesn't have an appetite for revs
and will produce a claimed 90 percent of its
torque below 3750 rpm, making for a relaxed rid-
ing experience, to say the least.
The little add-ons for the Touring over the
Adventure are nice—taller screen, heated grips,
phone pairing to the dash, fog lights—but as I
have not ridden the Adventure or base model, I
can't say they make any difference (although we
all know they would). I'm a little disappointed the
model badged as the Touring doesn't come with
the top box as standard, given the Adventure
does. I feel the top box should be included in
the price of the Touring, just because it suits the
model designation a little better.
The Guzzi loves
dirt roads, just
don't go looking for
the kind of terrain
you'd take a KTM
Adventure on.
