I'm glad they are offering more colors, but I really dislike how the Audace's single headlight sits out and apart from the forktubes like that. It looks like it is floating in the air.  The Griso's headlight mounting is much more elegant.

Or google Audace and pick images. Bunches of pics. No FB necessary.

Kev isn't the only one. I typed "Moto Guzzi" in and got Moto Guzzi Americas - it's not there. How many Facebook pages does the company have anyway? And who is responsible for the stupid slogan "The myth is back"? If something is/was a myth how can it be back? Wouldn't "The legend is back" be better?  :rolleyes:

Silly me. I tried typing it into the search engine on FB.

BUT NOW I'm not so sure I'm glad I saw that.

I'm not thrilled with mismatched fenders (color on tank, black on fenders) with a Stone, but at $8-9k I can sorta justify it.

I absolutely HATE IT on the Audace and Eldo. And at $16k it's unforgivable.


And yeah, the ad copy is awful.

Legend = awesome

Myth = fake

Looks like a cruiser to me.  :wink: If anything, it draws your eye to the engine. Maybe that's the plan.

Ya, the tank, and at least the side covers should be the same color. I took my silver side covers on the CB and bought red ones to match the tank. Fenders; either chrome to color matched. Not black.
