Caballero 700
« on: May 04, 2023, 09:45:04 AM »
This is motorcycle related but not Guzzi. 

I don't know if these bikes are imported, they're Italian designed with Yamaha T7 engine.  I like the styling, more old school, no beak.  An Adv Bike that I could learn to like, particularly if I could get my 30in inseam on it.

Does anyone know about the brand?  Are they in the US?  I just read not imported (I posted a different article than I read)

I like it! That engine should be bulletproof.I think it would make for a nice "desert sled" bike.  :thumb: :thumb:

Looks like a dirt-tracker to me.  Not an ADVbike.

Both that and the single cylinder 500 are my number one I would buy if available bikes.  Unfortunately they are not.
I have a buddy that contacted their headquarters in Colorado and asked status of import:  Reply was "maybe, we hope so,
not currently, we're working on it."   :wink:  Fantic does import high end bicycles to the US.  These bikes tick all my boxes.

it has roots to the Tenere 700.  I suppose it's how you define Adv? 

This is a "scrambler", that's what was a dual-sport before there were adv bikes.  Yeah, the front tire is a little large.   Anyway, I like the looks of it. 

The Flat Track- old school scrambler look.  No, I suppose I wouldn't want to go on 2k mile trip that was 1800 mile highway and 200 miles dirt road.

Anyone of our European members have an opinion rather than us keyboard riders?
