In the mountains it was great fun with really good handling. Tank range is 170 miles+ (although anoyingly the fuel light comes on at about 130 miles)and I very easily managed full 150 mile+ motorway stints non stop without any discomfort.

Although naked it was very comfortable on the motorway at 80-85 ish and the saddle is very comfortable. recently did 600 miles on the bike in 24 hours on a mix of motorway and mountain roads and it handled everything really well. All the components are good quality and the riding position is relaxed. It also has the handling and brakes to match. Superb engine, which, through the twin exhausts sounds just fantastic and makes you want to rev it hard. Bought primarily for a sunny sunday afternoon cruise the bike is so much more than that. I purchased the Bellagio new in the spring and it is my 1st Guzzi. It needs something cooler and sportier, low clip on bars and bar end mirrors, a v7 tank and seat fit like a glove and ìf comments on my bike are to be believed, 'this is the bike Guzzi should have made!' This bike shouldnt wear a California cruiser tank and seat. Worst feature, the bodywork belies its true spirit. Bumps mid corner never unsettle the bike which continues holding its line as if it were on rails. It corners beautifully and the brakes are excellent. This bike accelerates frantically, though there is a slight lag before take off from a standstill. Its character is much more a racer than a cruiser! The bellagio is perfect with clip ons and V7 tank and seat. Look me up on you tube, for a look at it. The bella was bought with the intention of converting to a cafe racer, and that,s what i did. It was my 2nd Guzzi, the first being a Cali Jackal which I love and still own.

(Moving overseas, can only take one home with me and the bella was th $ensible one to sell.) Ive owned around 100 bikes and the Bella is my favourite! It has a very sporty engine that just loves to be thrashed, tons of torque and great around town or on the highway.

I got my Bellagio with 25000km on it and did 16000 on it before regretfully selling it.
