Road Test: Moto Guzzi Cafe Sport

With over 90 horsepower available at 7800 rpm, it was plenty powerful enough for the job in hand. Actually, there was no need to run it up that hard, with the Moto Guzzi’s 70 foot-pounds of torque hitting at 6000rpm. Short shifting between 4000 and 5000 rpm worked best for me and for spirited riding around the 70mph mark, running these revs in fourth gear was the magic combination.
