Coming in at this price point, it's going to compete directly with the existing A2-compliant naked bikes too.

More A2-compliant options is just plain good news for younger riders.

Didn't expect Moto Guzzi, a brand that stuck to big V-twins, to widen its range this much.

It's described as a big departure from tradition, so curious how much of the brand's character they manage to keep.
