Motorcycle specifications Moto-Guzzi 1400 Audace 2017 The shadow of an Italian bird of prey
presentation of the 1400 Audace 2017
in the California family, the 1400 gave a new impetus and two models for very distinct roles: the Touring to perpetuate the tradition of Italian-style travel, and the Custom to stroll with elegance and muscularity. The family expanded in 2015 with a vintage variant, theEldorado, and this Audace.
derived from the ex-Custom, it's stripped of a few elements without going too far towards the bobber spirit. A way of becoming a Bad Boy while retaining Guzzi charm. Impetuous?!? Almost, a figure of the shadows; and like the Danton of power-cruisers, it needs audacity, more audacity, always audacity. The front man is the first to deliver a blow. It looks like it's lost 10 kilos, simply by adopting a very conventional round headlight, opting for a shortened carbon fender and getting rid of its fork covers. A good blow of the disc in the exhaust and the rear end becomes as chunky as one could wish. And selfish: the alcantara seat with red stitching is a strict single-seater. Couples, don't panic. There's plenty of room for a passenger seat.
The running boards are gone, and so is a lot of the chrome. Black is de rigueur for this clan of machines, and the 1400 Audace enjoys appropriating ounces of penumbra. The exhausts and their pipes, the dragbar handlebars, the cylinder heads and the fork covers are all covered in black. However, Mandello's eagle has left a few eye-catching details, such as the red lettering on the rims, the polished cylinder head covers and cooling fins, or the little shoe to hide the oil cooler. When driving, remember to take the rear with you; the rear tire is now 200 mm wide.
the rebel of the range and already ready to lead a gang, the Moto-Guzzi 1400 Audace will also charm you with its generous torquetorque and the character of its big V-twin, announced as even more expressive with short exhausts. On-board technology is preserved, with traction control, cruise control and other in-house goodies.

Daring, daring, I dream about it and Moto Guzzi made it for me.
This hellishly designed machine is made for our roads.
For passenger comfort, you'll have to go through the "options" box, otherwise "Que Bella" !
