Take home this 2016 Moto Guzzi Audace Motorcycle with only 212 miles!
From below 3,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm, the Audace jumps every time you ask it to. Particularly, when the “Veloce” engine map is chosen (one of three available, in addition to Turismo or touring, and Pioggia or rain). In addition to the greater power, the Audace’s engine is distinct from typical cruiser v-twins in its much quicker engine response (lighter flywheel effect). Moto Guzzi considers the Audace a “muscle bike”, and the styling is meant to form this impression. No excess plastic, the Audace expresses an aggressive attitude, right to the tip of its dual exit megaphone exhaust system. The carefully crafted details are there, as well, including the carbon front fender, classic MG tank badge, and the seat with contrasting red stitching. The classic-looking engine includes a very modern head design with four valves per cylinder and 10.5-to-1 compression ratio. Fuel injection with ride-by-wire throttle and the aforementioned three engine maps (Turismo offers full power, but softer throttle response than Veloce) are part of a very modern set of electronic aids. Adjustable traction control and dual-channel ABS brakes are standard, together with cruise control.
When you create the largest V-Twin manufactured in Europe and have placed it in a pair of cruisers that have garnered favorable reviews – one of which was named the Motorcycle.com Best Cruiser of 2013 – the natural thing for a motorcycle company to consider is how else can the stable of motorcycles based on this DNA be enlarged. When looking at the Audace for the first time, one gets the impression of something quite familiar yet very different. Clearly, a Moto Guzzi with the large jugs jutting out from under the tank in all their transverse-mounted 90° V-Twin glory, the Audace’s lines are the same as the previous California models, but the details are different. A black, 18-in. 24-spoke cast-aluminum front wheel sports a 130/70-R18 tire which is, in turn, graced with an abbreviated carbon fiber fender.
