Just a few months have passed since we first became aware of the development of the new model that Moto Guzzi was working on: The Trip. So more than one wondered if with it would come a change of technical paradigm within the transalpine firm. And based on the first details that it has offered regarding this novelty, it is confirmed that yes.
Furthermore, those of Mandello del Lario have used fine prose to explain the reasons for this “evolution”: “There was a time when we began to believe that to experience motorcycling we needed extreme performance, exaggerated power and increasingly demanding motorcycles. Meanwhile, life has changed. Cities have become busier, free time more valuable, the desire to live authentic experiences stronger than ever.”
They conclude: “Today, true luxury is not having more horsepower. It is having more time. More freedom. More opportunities to get out of daily routines. That is why Moto Guzzi The Trip was born. An easy, light and fun 500 roadster. For those looking for an authentic, high-performance motorcycle, capable of thrilling even the most experienced bikers, but without excessive complications.”
