They are niche players in the local two-wheeled market and their initial product offering consists of the Aprilia RSV4 superbike, Aprilia Tuono streetfighter, Moto Guzzi V7 naked bike, and the Moto Guzzi V85 TT. All those hi-tech toys are modern but the design isn’t. The V85 TT is styled with old-school cool that conjures Dakar Rally bikes of old — especially in its white-yellow-red Giallo Sahara colour scheme as shown here — and Moto Guzzi refers to it as a retro enduro bike. TT stands for Tutti Terreno which is “all terrain” in Italian.

The looks are retro but the technology isn’t, and includes a TFT digital instrument panel. Picture: DENIS DROPPA Wide handlebars with Shrek-ear side mirrors call for caution when lane-splitting but I managed to squeeze the bike through reasonably tight gaps when navigating the biblically congested traffic in Fourways, Johannesburg.
