Default Vento Cafe 400GT




Chinese/Austrailian built. 392cc, 3 cylinder, 36 hp engine. List price of $3750 or less...

So less expensive and more powerful than a Ninja 250r.... would you rock it???

Aside from the fact that Guzzi's are 90 degree, horizontally opposed V-Twins with a shaft drive, and this is an inline 3 cyl. with a chain, yeah, it looks just like a Moto Guzzi.

I thought that was so you could ride it to Starbucks and not get frowned at by the baristas.
Oh sorry, that's "Venti"... maybe they're saving that for the 650.
