Last year (2021), I started bird-dawgin this Italian beauty.
Last month (September 2022), I gave Plano, TX Moto Guzzi a $500 deposit.
Early in the morning of 10/17/2022, I submitted my online “reservation” for the 2023 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Sport - “Centenario” Livery (premium Verde 2121 color) - Special Edition $17,490.
The customer care representative told me my Order# 190 was the 1st V100 Mandello order received by Moto Guzzi USA online store.
I’m SUPER EXCITED!
To me, the V100 Mandello is STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!
I am very excited for you and slightly (understatement) jealous! Good for you, Dennis. Let me know your first impressions when it arrives - build quality, ride etc. Cheers.
WORLD FIRST FOR MOTO GUZZI !!!!!! PURE MOTORCYCLING -- ENOUGH POWER -- BEAUTIFULL DESIGNE !!!!!! MUCH BETTER THAN THE BMW TWINS -- REMINDS TO US HOW MOTORCYCLING MUST BE !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS GUZZI ------
I just took delivery of my 2024 V100 S Dark on May 1st, at 1400 kms now , I am totally thrilled with this bike 😊
I am envious. I see one in my future. Cheers.
Absolutely love this bike, have been wanting one since I first saw it last year. Beautifully executed design, quality build, and a lot of motorcycle for the money. I have a 21 Tuono Factory and it most certainly is an amazing beast, but not the most comfortable machine for long rides. I plan to use the V100 for longer trips, comfort with agility is what I am looking for. Would have liked to see the HP up around 130 or so, but in reality 115hp with ample low end torque will be plenty. Bravo Moto Guzzi
Nicely put, Mack. I think this will be a great sport tourer. Cheers.
Did you get one?
@@SmittyAZ Sure did, picked it up in March. Still waiting on the side cases. Great bike, really enjoying it.
@@Motomack1042 Good to hear. I missed out on the S version, so maybe next year. (I bought 3 other bikes this year.)
I have the 2007 norge luv it .iv owned a motoguzzi since 1994 .but if I can order the v100 asap I will they r the best motor cycle in the world .I so want one in red please
I'm absolutely blown away by the bike's looks and modern features, as well as it's handling on the road having just taken out a base model last week from a dealer. It's just gorgeous and the only bike I've really seriously considered buying new since my Ducati 851 in 1990 (yes, I know that was a long time ago but I'm pretty fussy). Arse ache in 45 mins on the 851, but I loved it. This is a whole different kettle of fish and SO comfy to ride. Like others have pointed out, I want the Mandello S with the gold wheels that the base models have but this can't be sorted out directly with the factory when you order, so options are either buy the gold rims (4 wheels to then own) or have your black ones colour coded to the cam cover gold. Seems crazy and the wrong way around. Having said that, the S is still gorgeous with the black rims and perhaps Guzzi felt that with the gold Ohlins already fitted, that was enough gold bling. Either way, gold or black rims should have been an option. I'm ordering a Verde S!
I am envious! Congratulations, Jane.
glad to read your coments,i just bought an s model in black and grey,i pick it up in 3 days from the shop..the rider on top of your coments owns a tuono factory but he can still see the apeal of this lovely v100 guzzi bike..i just got rid of a fully specked out zx10r from 2013..after 8 years of very happy rideing i had to sell it becouse petrol just never stops going up and my ninja used a full tank of petrol to do 65 miles,everytime i go from london to colchester to see the fabulous mechanics at mss performance i need 2 tanks of petrol to do the full round trip,thats 17'5 litres of quality fuel each tank,the superbikes are simply too expensive to run these days..
man,i am excited to pick up the v100s in black and grey..you were telling us how comftarble it is and thats gonna be a treat as well to me..ride safe..
Thank you for your video, great job. So far I love what I see, Guzzi have done a great job.
Great video and especially quantifying the extras available - can't wait for it in the UK !
Thank you!!!!!!!...... finally all the colors and pics with cases!
Glad I could help, cheers.
Delightful and beautiful bike, period. I congratulate them for having done such a good job 👍!
Davvero bella, grazie per il video ben realizzato 🇮🇹
Hi, I love it ! Can wait to see it in person, and to see whether such price isn’t a bit too high for what it is. Thanks for your video 👍
I wish guzzi well with this . Nice video. Subbbed.
Stunning, just stunning motorbike. I own an F850GS but this one is really tempting
I have a v7III Special, which is fantastic. And I love this new V100 Mandello!
Can’t wait to get one,just a beautiful bike
Nicest Motto Guzzi ever, Beautiful Motorcycle ! Way to go Guzzi ! 👍
We agree!
Owned a number of Guzzis, favs are Griso and my current Stelvio. Stelvio is 105 HP (I think) and 275kg, but plenty of power for real world riding, the secret (which Guzzi specialise in )is torque. This new bike has to be one of the best looking bikes released in ages, can see it being the bike that brings more people to Moto Guzzi, although I've always liked the feeling of being on something a bit different.
Nicely put.
Torque is far more important than outright Power, unless you're racing.
I'm happy to let people throw their cash at more powerful Bikes, while Guzzi just get on with what they do best, making superb Road Bikes that have the perfect output for 'Real-World' riding.
My GS1200LC owning friend gets pissed off when I out accelerate him on my Stelvio, and he has 25 more Horses to play with! 😆
Nice work.
I'm very excited about the V100. I may not buy one this year, but I'm planning on it soon. It will look great next to my V85TT.
I freaking love the V85! I’ve been wanting one for a couple of years now.
The lines are different and really look good. Colors are great and options meet the need, minus the small bags. I like all that I’ve seen and would like to see one in person and demo it. Thanks for a good review.
Very nice . ! .
Excellent review as well , nice and sane , like an actual adult.
I subscribed.
Thanks, Hos. Cheers.
Great video again BMR ! This is a terrific design to my eyes, pleasing at every angle. Price is a bit steep for me but there many bikes in the category that are much higher. Sadly, no room in the garage or budget for me. Had this come along before I bought my Z900RS Cafe it would have been a strong contender although I got the Z for $13,000 CDN. Hope you get a chance to ride one and give us your personal review then. Also, more Griso content please.
It is steep, and may require an extra year of working for me before I contemplate retirement, but it would be worth it :-) Yes, there will be more Griso content for sure. The Z is also pining for the spot light too.
Moto Guzzi it s history...
Really good, well edited review. You did one of the best at initial unveiling. I’m getting one of the 1st in the UK. A green/silver “S” version and I’ll have the wheels sprayed gold as they had at EICMA last year. As it should be….
Pete Hi. Good Call on the wheels. CRAZY not to offer in Gold. Is your dealer arranging the painting or how are you doing ?? My nearest dealer is in Southampton. I’ve asked them about this. They despair that Guzzi refuse to swap out the Black wheels for Gold. I’ve asked if they’ll do/arrange the paint-change pre PDI and charge me at Cost. Let me know how you’re doing it please. Also are you buying, or PCP ?? What options are you getting - incl luggage and prices ? Look forward to hearing from you, Thank You and enjoy your V100.
Thanks fo the feedback. I am extremely envious, and very happy for you. Please let me know what your initial impressions are. Congrats, sir!
Strange that they won't swap them out. The next idea is to ask the dealer to ask anyone who is buying a white or red version if they would like your wheels...in exchange for their's? Still, nice problem to have.
I can’t wait to have it. My dream bike
This new Guzzi is beautiful. This will look perfect next to my 2008 red Breva 1200 sport.
Love the advanced tech and factory luggage option.
I can not wait to see the S model in person, ride it buy it. Great video BMR looking forward to more videos.
A lot of us want one of these. Best looking new bike in years. Cheers.
Thank you for the detailed look at this model. Was looking specifically at the sport touring aspects of this bike. Currently enjoying my 14 Norge, and am anticipating not replacing it for a while. Looking for a backup just in case. Wanted to keep it in the Guzzi family.
I'm glad they're keeping the main visual characteristic of Guzzis with the engine layout. I will miss the organic feel of the classic engine and it's quirks. Plus not having to deal with liquid cooling and easy valve maintenance. Hopefully the V100 will be relatively simple for users to do on their own, since Guzzi shops and dealers are few and far in between in the U.S.
Thanks, and like you say, let's hope the heads are as easy to access and the valves can be a home jobby. Cheers.
Fantastic review fantastic bike , hopefully one day I will have one 👍
I'm hoping one day I'll join you! :-)
Mine on order! Can’t wait.
Congrats - slightly envious!
Love the bike!
Just beautiful
The V100 has been on my future shopping list since I first heard about it last year and is the first Guzzi I've ever considered. I did wince at the price and kinda hoped that it might turn out to be so flawed I could go back to looking at cheaper alternatives but all the road tests I've read so far are full of praise, the only criticisms being about the quickshifter sometimes being a bit reluctant between 1st and 2nd and the need to enter a dash menu to adjust the heated grips and screen height; not exactly major flaws. So I'm saving my pennies like crazy and devouring as many reviews and road tests as I can. Thank you for a very balanced report. I found it particularly valid coming from an existing Guzzi rider.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, those ride reviews just seem to be getting better, which means a lot of scrimping and saving for my future too... Cheers.
The price is about what I thought it would be. Id compare this to a fully kitted BMW R1250RS. I cant wait for the Mandello have had one on order since they were announced. Only problem is it looks like in Blighty we will get them in the salty road season. But for salty weather I have my trusty V7 850 Stone, which survived last years UK winter very well. If the V100 finish is up to the standard of V7 850 Stone I will be really impressed.
That will be a great pair of bikes!
I love her from the moment I saw her and believe the price is fine despite it sounds rather expensive she's loaded with lots of technology. You buy a KYMCO 3cycle for 1.000 Eur less from the basic model and a TMax almost at the same price and I don't think there is any comparison between them and Mandello V100. As for the design FANTASTIC
Bought one, white base model. Beautiful, great build and finish. Plenty of power and great handling. Perfect compliment fir our 2015 Multistrada 1200
Only slightly envious.
Thanks for such a great, detailed and enjoyable video. So looking forward to having one in my garage. I love the side luggage solutions which looks fab. Unfortunately the Top Box mounting looks bloody horrible! Maybe there will be a much better aftermarket offering for this.
Glad it was helpful. Cheers.
Great informative video - Thanks. Yes a stunning bike! I’ve owned many different bikes but I suppose I’m more of a Ducatista but this Guzzi is calling! I think all round they have it just about right but I’m still not too sure about those flaps! 😁
Fair enough! Not sure about the flaps either. Would like to have seen an analogue dialed, no aero base model for a few thou cheaper.
Love the flaps! Imagine the reactions at a bike night when you deploy those bad boys!
This bike is so freaking sweet!
Love the looks! Love my 150 hp Multistrada that cost me 5500 bucks with only 16k miles!😛
Moto Guzzi needs to cut you a check ! Great product presentation
Think it is very elegant yet sporty and the new engine with the technology seems very promising.
The fact that it is entirely produced in Lake of Como is a bonus.
I love my V7 Stone 850 but would happily consider an upgrade for a standard red one
Thank you. Love this bike, it's complicating my dream of buying a BMW RT. Looking forward to hearing about it's reliability. 🍻 🇨🇦
Three words: I love it.
Wooooow 😍
My oh my!❤❤❤
I've driven it, it's fantastic
You're one of many that has got back to me to say the same thing. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Cheers.
Fantastic moto!
We agree!
Looks great to me and the tech is quite impressive. Hope they do that engine in a naked bike one day then I may be able to afford it lol. The only time I notice any torque reaction on my V7 is when I blip the throttle at standstill.
Same on the Griso re-torque reaction.
Love this bike can't wait to get one here in Canada as far as the price it is more cost effective than the other 2 bikes I am looking into so price doesn't bother me at all
The Price is fair, i will go to the Dealer and have a look
Cine va bene! Those front forks look awfully familiar marble 😎
From the start, I LOVE THIS BIKE! I must ride it, wenn i am looking for something NEW!
A lot of people are feeling very passionate about this bike. I think it will sell like hot cakes. Cheers.
I have a 2012 MG Stelvio NTX which I love, but I also love this new bike in the green and silver S model
I cannot believe how many plaudits this bike is getting. Guzzi are on to a winner here.
Thanks for the comprehensive review, it helped with my decision, I also recently took delivery of my new V100S. Which I think is great value for a shaft driven motorcycle with Moto Guzzi''s build quality. It's a dream to ride and still oozes the Guzzi character .
Congrats - It's a great looking bike too. Let me know how it ages: I see one in my future. Cheers.
@@BlueMarbleRider I hope you get your Griso back on the road quickly, no more injuries please 🙏🏻
Still in love with my Griso too, BMR. I have the s/w & cables now to re-map her, so that should make the ride even better. But I'd lose all the bluetooth MIA stuff & take a base V100 in red with centre stand & QS too. Who the hell wants to take phone calls & listen to music when you're riding anyway? Focus on gear, speed, road surface, position, all the bad drivers & enjoy the ride!
Agree: I like simple too.
@@BlueMarbleRider Takes one to know one! 🤪
I love the Teni green S model, The first bag of cash I trip over is going towards one of these, cost be damned,I currently own a 2012 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 NTX and love it
Yes, it's that sort of bike - I'm smitten too. Hopefully it pans out to ride as well as it looks. Cheers.
My Le Mans MkV is coming up to 30 years old and my 1100 Sport is 27. I’m still happy with both. I was hoping for something like an MGS01 but this’ll do. It’s been a long time coming. I can’t wait to throw a leg over and add it to the stable, maybe. Thanks for the review. This at last seems like real progress.
it's too late for sèportbike nowadays.
I love the Le Mans, even though I do not own it. Maybe someday in future.
What a collection you have. I think this would be the icing on the cake. Yes, they're taking deposits in Europe, hoping we get to see it NA soon. Cheers.
G'day BMR. The red and white paint schemes really appeal to me, and the amount of equipment, even on the base version, appears impressive. It's unfortunate that the nearest dealer is twelve hundred kms south of me so a test ride is not really an easy option. Here in Oz the V7 model retails for $19k. Basically you can double the price of what they retail for in the UK. Apparently Kawasaki are reproducing the Z900rs SE so I reckon I will wait and pick up one of those great bikes. Thanks for the video brother.
Wow - that's a hell of a markup, Andy. Reckon you're right, best wait fo the 23 SE - lovely bike! Cheers.
GET ON THE AIRPLANE - ON THE BUS - ON A TRUCK - RENT A BICYCLE OR SOMETHING !!!! AND RETURN TO YOUR HOME ON YOUR NEW BIKE !!!!! FORGET THE TEST RIDE AND ALL THIS SHIT !!!!! TALK WITH YOUR HART AND YOU WILL NOT BE BETRAYED --- AFTER ALL THIS IS THE BEAUTY OF LIFE !!!!!! FORTUNATE !!!!!!
@@mitsospouliezos6289 cost mate. As pointed out here in Australia it’s going to be very expensive. But I agree. A test ride will not help. Either put it out of your mind or get it between your legs. No middle ground.
Higher priced than I had hoped. However, a new BMW R1250 RS sport tourer is $20,000 U.S. and that is about where this Guzzi will be in higher spec anyway, and to my eyes the V100 looks way better. If the tech works as advertised and is quality, I would get this over the BMW RS. Nice video!
I have a 2006 Guzzi Griso 1100 motorcycle but this v100 will be next.🦅
Thanks for the great info and vid. Yesterday I received an email from Moto Guzzi USA with US pricing for the two models and a pre-order form to facilitate an order. In the US the base model (in red or white) will sell for $15490 while the S model (green/silver and black/grey) will sell for $17490. When I pulled up the pre-order sheet and selected my local dealer, it provided dealer prep fees and taxes. The S model on the road was $20043 and change. I think this is reasonable pricing for what one is getting in the current bike market. BTW, the limited edition model is not available in the US.
Personally, I'm not excited by either of the S model colours and would prefer an S model in the red colour. If I have to choose, I'd go with the black/grey combination. I called my local dealer and asked them when they thought they would have some demo bikes so I could test ride one. They said the pre-ordered bikes will arrive in early to mid-Dec and the demo bike should arrive at the end of the year or early Jan 2023. I'll be waiting to test ride one before deciding on to purchase a V100 or not. The power and torque seems to be a little low but I'll withhold judgement until I get to ride one.
Thanks for the feedback and info Fleuger - interesting to note the time line etc. I'm guessing the power and torque delivery will be the deciding factor - how it delivers that power rather than the numbers. Wise decision to ride first. Cheers.
@@BlueMarbleRider Correction, the Aviazione Navale limited edition is available in the USA and I decided not to wait and put a $500 refundable deposit on one. They are only making 1913 of them and it is my favourite colour. My local dealer told me if I didn't like it they would refund my $500 as they'd have no trouble selling it. Updated dates for delivery are late Feb 2023. The price for the Aviazione Navale model is $16910.
Gonna go look at one! Sold My GoldWing! Want something smaller! I think this is it!
I’ve wanted a Moto Guzzi since I saw my first one back in the late 1970’s. It’s just possible that now that I can afford one, I’ll buy one, assuming I can find one in the US.
Used Guzzis are ridiculously undervalued and under priced. Dirt cheap.
Got me...probably the white base model, couldn't justify the extra,for something I wouldn't miss,apart from that colour scheme...if I don't buy the Honda Rebel 1100T bagger next year,certainly on my list...got a Guzzi soft spot,since the old Le Mans
This is going to be very popular, I can tell.
I love the bike and would like the S model but I'm disappointed that they are using black wheels for that, as I love the gold.
I don't know if that would be an option.
I also love the luggage facility. Very neat and classy
I wish motorcycle manufacturers would offer several different colours that one could choose on whichever model they want.
Thanks for the video. 😃👍
Yes, lots saying the same thing about the wheels. A few asking dealers to give base model purchasers the choice of their "upmarket" black S wheels as a direct swap. Perhaps next years model will offer this, as Guzzi must be hearing the shouts.
@@BlueMarbleRider Apparently the reason the Gold wheels aren't on the S model is because it didn't work with the different gold coloured front forks
The price is right for a premium bike. Pretty much on a par with the R1250RS. Power is fine for this kind of machine - plenty for real world road use with lots of torque where it's needed.
I rode the BMW and the damn thing is so sanitized and bland....it is like a sawing machine. NOT a fan of BMW bikes even though I own one.....there's nothing like an Italian bike in my opinion.
@@theodoremarakas9899 I recently sold my RT. Excellent for what I was using it for. However, I sold it because the V100 stirs something in my soul.
@@markellott5620
I'm going for the V100 myself. I just bought a 1973 V7 Sport with body work from Evan Wilcox. I'm still keeping my V9 bobber and V85TT. I'm replacing my BMW F800 with the V100. This should complete the Moto Guzzi representation in my garage.
I thought it would be about $2k less, but given the quality and spec of this bike, I'm sure it will sell well at the current price.
Yes it's going to be a stretch to get one...but I guess quite a few of us will end up stretching :-)
@@BlueMarbleRider Stretching is good. That's what every doctor says including ALL psychiatrists.
I want it...
Though I love, and can afford the S model...I'm thinking base model, add heated seats and grips, larger screen and crash bars...In red of course, although the white is growing on me
Me too! Cheers.
Great thorough review and already on order… Pity the Green S model does not have gold rims…… maybe an “Extra” option for 2024 models….. A radiator guard would be a welcome accessory…
Some are asking the dealers to swap wheels with the standard red or white models, or asking if they can give buyers of the base models a free "upgrade" to black in return for their base model rims...worth a shot. Cheers.
@@BlueMarbleRider You'd have to swap the TPMS sensors from the black rims over to the gold ones if you did that switch
I love my V7 but I think this was a necessary step for Moto Guzzi. The air cooled 850 may not pass Euro standards much into the future so a liquid cooled engine is necessary to continue on. I'd buy the red base model. I don't need the extra tech or suspension upgrades, plus I like the red paint/gold wheel look.
I also own a V7 and agree with you entirely. I am amazed they got an air-cooled engine through E5 but glad as I like old school simplicity.
@@35southkiwi16 the air cooled engines are fading away. The air cooled Harley Sportster produced for 65 years is gone now. We'll have to enjoy our air cooled rides for as long as we can.
I just bought a V7 sport. Google 1973 V7 sport by Evan Wilcox. I also have a V85TT and a V9 bobber among others. Guzzi is for those eclectic riders. Next will be the V100 and possibly a Griso but I also have an Aprilia Tuono which is very similar and makes no sense getting one.
Air cooled engines will be discontinued soon because they can barely pass emissions and the market demands much higher horsepower that the air cooled engines cannot achieve. The future of Air cooled is almost over.
Looks good and although a left field choice will attract I believe a whole new range of first time Guzzi owners but it isn’t in any way other than price a rival for the Aprillia RSV factory, singing from a completely different hymn book. However it’s a good effort Guzzi
Not a rival for the Aprillia, but uses some of the same tech for thousands cheaper. More like the BMW RS1250 or as others have said the Duc Multistrada.
yeah?and exactley how much petrol does you factory rsv uses when you go out?..becouse my superbike gets through 17 litres in 65 miles..how can you compare an rsv factory to the v100,the aprilia is a 170 horsepower monster and the guzzi is simply a very difrent proposition,my superbike makes 185 on the rear wheel,its a lot of fun but the way petrol keeps going up in price i am not sure there is going to be a lot of us left soon with 200 horpower machines ..safe rideing out there..look after yourself on that beast you have.xxxx
I've been watching this one since it was first announced. I have to say I'm very impressed so far. I owned two different Norges, and their "character" helped offset their overall inferiority (viewed objectively) to a BMW R1200RT. (which replaced my last one) My only real issues so far are the fact that I want the red paint and gold rims, but I want the "S" model's features. In order to get what I want, an expensive proposition. I like the centerstand availability and general accessory options. Let's hope that heated grips, seat, etc. work as well as their competitors. This is the ONLY new motorcycle that really interests me, and I will be investigating this one much more closely as they arrive at the dealers, and we see what availability REALLY is on accessories at the time of launch. To be fair, NONE of the OEMs have ever done a good job of having accessories available at the launch or a new model. I'm impressed!
Great comment, Matt. Agree, this does look like something out of the ordinary. Cheers, and thanks for the cogent thoughts.
there is a you tube video of 2 german young riders doing a head to head with the v100s and the bmw 1200 rs..in the end they give the top spot to the bmw,and as i was looking at this video with the 2 bikes side by side i was thinking yes,the bmw will do everything really well but just look at them side by side..the v100s is such a work of art and the bmw is just not,in fact next to the moto guzzi it really looses in the looks department,they give it to the bmw by very little and if you ask me it's not really a fair game to compare the 2 bikes since the bmw has a much bigger engine but hey,i think they wanted to stear riders away from the moto guzzi and favour their german bike..we all agree the 1200 rs is a great machine but there are so many of them around,lets give moto guzzi a chance with this amazieng new bike..the noise from the guzzi engine is so adictive..it also looks like a real rock solid bike in the curves..i am picking up a black and grey one from the shop in 3 days..my whole life rideing supersports and superbikes,i am ready for the guzzi to show me what all this italian thing is all about..thanks for you coments as well,ride safe and share the love out there on the roads..
Definitely cheaper than I thought it would be. I like the bike's looks and concepts. Well done Guzzi!
Wish they did what BMW did with the R9T and did a "pure" model. Mybe stripped down tech with analog gauges. Love my V7 II. Its old school and raw. I chose Guzzi over other brands because it was authentically retro. Just my opinion. Still tempted to buy the V100 for sure...
It's a good idea: was hoping the red would come with analogue dials fixed screen and tank without the aero. Perhaps this will be a future mod though. Guzzi are pretty good about bringing out different variations of their models. Cheers.
I ride a Honda Blackbird and have been looking at modern touring bikes for a while. Nothing so far has enticed me to sell the Bird and upgrade. This bike has and i shall book a test ride, although when speaking to the dealer I asked about the panniers and top box, an extra £1,400 ouch. I suspect with all the modern electronics and torque at low revs I won’t miss the extra 40hp I get on my current bike.
The blackbird is a great bike to be sure. For me, I find I barely use the power of most bikes and spend most of my time in the 4-6K rpm range, and I think that's where this bike excels. Cheers.
It’s a beautiful bike. Elegant. Not a spiky lump like a lot of bikes these days.
Lovely bike. The first thing I would do is put a set of engine protection bars on it .The cylinder heads look really venerably if you happened to drop it
Don''t you mean vulnerable?
Yes my spelling is very ordinary@@kingkrimson8771
I'm not a Guzzi rider, I ride a BMW K1300S but I think it's checked most of the boxes. My bike has 175hp at the crank. I've been riding this bike for 9 years, in all situations and put 13000km on it. It's probably a bit over gunned.
Love it , it will replace my BMW R1250RS !!!
Looks like a fine luxury motorcycle, with matching prices. My NC750X DCT, while not nearly as good or as pretty, does everything I need it to do, for CAD$6000 less.
Great Video. I presently ride a BMW R1200RT with OM top case/panniers fitted. Now I have seen the luggage solution offered for the V100 they have a way to go in how to mount a top case. The panniers look good and fits the bikes style well, but oh dear that top case solution is not good, why have they mounted it so high up, it looks ridiculous. Maybe not a replacement for mine after all, which is a shame. Fantastic bike in all other respects and for most people the luggage will not be an issue, but it's a deal breaker for me. I thought they may bring out a new Norge using this platform, but that's looking unlikely, a Stelvio will be on the cards though. Sorry to moan.😤
Yes it does look high, but the photographic angle is from the engine casing; it may not look quite that outrageously high from 6ft high. For me, I'd likely only use the top box when carrying my wife/pillion on the back. Thanks for the feedback.
Thankfully the predicted price of $21,100 CAD for the S model turned out to be $19.990 CAD. I will be purchasing one of these shortly.
ps. It has a six-axis IMU, not ECU. And the quick shifter is bi-directional, not only for upshifting.
If I had the money, I’d get one.
A lot of people, including myself, not happy with the S Model not getting the gold wheels as shown in the early pre production bikes shown as early as last year.
You are not alone...As I said below: Some are asking the dealers to swap wheels with the standard red or white models, or asking if they can give buyers of the base models a free "upgrade" to black in return for their base model rims...worth a shot. Cheers.
Looks really good but for me a little more bhp say 120 and would defo consider buying one
I've heard many say that it feels more than it's 115hp. Might be worth giving one a go. Cheers.
I think your Z900RS is starting to pout in the garage with all your recent talk of things Moto Guzzi! As I am not in the market for a new bike off the showroom floor I have not kept up with pricing but this seems a bit high. It may well be worth it but Guzzi is not known as high end compared to other Italian brands. I do like the look and 115hp is more than enough power. Brand and looks aside, it will be interesting to see how it stacks up head-to-head with its peers.
Guzzi are building a new state of the art factory right now. This is to be the springboard for the new bikes - reliabilty and qc are the target. I'm pretty sure these will be significantly more expensive than previous Guzzi, and hope it stacks up. If it does, that will be joining the others...after the typical new bike bugs are worked out... The Z has been out for numerous gallops this last week and is feeling much better now :-)
Love the new bike. The comparison should be made to the Ducati Multistrada and BMW RS 1250.
I see that comparo on the horizon. You are right, they are perfect rivals and competitors to the Guzzi Mandello. Interesting to see how it stacks up.
They nailed this one. Styling is the most powerful point I have to say. Otherwise... it is to soon to say anything about it. Firstly will have to ride it. The luggage/cases on it look very nice. What about the price?
Price is in the video at the end. Yes, we'll have to wait until we actually get a test ride on them before springing for the bike, but IF it rides as well as it looks, then...:-)
I have a red V50 Monza and a red Le Mans III so I would love to add a red V100 and it’s a shame they only offer red as the base model!
You are a lucky man. Cheers.
The prices in Canada are on the web site now. 17 990$ for the base V100 and 19 990$ for the V100S model. You were not all that far off! I'll be curious to see how much will be all the accesories and see what could be the real total as those are not yet released on the Canadian web site.
Wow, I was close (probably really close if you include freight and PDI). If that is the case, then the S version is definetly worth the extra 2K. I'm sure the accessories will be unveiled very soon. Cheers.
Accessory prices for Canada are out now, panniers are 900 bucks, heated comfort seat only $325 (I'm getting the high version), top box is $450 but the required mounting rack is a whopping $625! Center stand is $270.
Love the styling and equipment, for me personally 115 hp seems a bit low considering the competition and price range, it's been a long wait since first unveiled and I hope quality of the components will match the price 🤞
Low? What are you going to do with that much power on public roads? 115BHP is plenty.
@@markellott5620 Yes, especially if the focus is mid-range torque.
@@rlsedition Yup. That's clearly what they are going for here, which makes it a practical, useable machine. Horsepower is only relevant if you are planning on racing. Day to day, it really doesn't matter.
@@markellott5620 you might be right, I'll need to test ride it first to make final opinion but one could argue that 50 - 60 hp is plenty for public roads so should we ask for road bikes to be restricted to that ?
Or shall we enjoy occasional blast and hint of adrenaline rush where possible.
@@worldsnomad At no point have I suggested restricting anything. I am merely making the valid point that horsepower is largely irrelevant and the current obsession with it is absurd. A bike that has over 100bhp has more than enough for the average rider to cope with. And you don't need lots of horsepower for an adrenaline rush. Torque and agility will do that.
Beautiful bike, though I’m not keen on the two tone options so would choose the red one out of the colours available. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, going on the video, riding position, luggage, enough real world power and looks. £13,500 though....I could get 2, maybe 3 very good bikes for that.
I doubt it is possible to get 3 1000cc bikes for the price of this Guzzi. I have observed that almost any 650cc bike is around 10K USD, and any 1000cc bike is around 15.5k USD -- and since this is 1000cc bike, its price is close to any other 1000cc bike imo.
@@umakantgajjewar8898
He really means 3 very good chinese scooters...
@@umakantgajjewar8898 I paid £2000 for a Honda VFR with 28k on the clock, I almost bought a BMW GS1250 for £3300. I think I’m right.
@@jerhughes500 How can you compare old bikes and old models with a new one with so much new technology and with such a beautiful design? Better to have a good, beautiful bike with up to date technical specification in terms of safety than 3 old aged design bikes. Of course it depends on how much time you have on your hands to use all 3 cheap bikes.
@@scd3916 I had a 97 Honda VFR until recently, 22k miles on it, absolutely faultless. There are modern bikes 5, 6, 7 years old, all the tech and stuff that I want or need, for 4k and upwards. I'm not denying the MG is a stunning bike, like the new Stelvio, and the V85tt, but given the choice I would rather have 2 or 3 older bikes, of different genres, in the garage.
HI, I’m interested in this particular motorbike not because of brand loyalty, I’ve always loved Guzzis and the LeMans model of the 70s is probably the first picture of a motorbike that fixed my attention (never to be lost again) but I’ve never owned one and only test rode a V7 III Speciale when hunting for a second motorbike for more leasurely riding and I confess that I wasn’t overwhelmed by that bike, except for the aesthetics. I’m drawn to this motorbike because I’m a big believer in sport-touring bikes as motorcycles that best combine the practical -touring capability- with the emotional, i.e. riding dynamics and aesthetics. I’ll definitely will test ride one when they arrive to my local dealer who I’m happy to have in my town and who happens to be also the dealer of my current mount, a 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx Tourer which I love. That’s where my doubts lie. It’s give or take 5 kg the same weight as the Ninja but makes around 25 hp less and has less torque although arguably making most of it at a lower rev range. The S version has more tech on board but even the stripped down basic version seems to be priced a couple of thousand euros above the Ninja… I will definitely give it a try when the time comes to retire the Ninja and if the Mandello had been around when I bought my Kawa, it would certainly had been a contender, I find the red version very appealing and I hope that the performances and riding abilities are on a par with the asking price. I cannot comment on character, to me it’s a very elusive concept, the V7 is adored by a lot of riders for her character, I found it to be a rather outdated bike that left me wanting in the domains that for me matter most when I get on a bike, agreement and performances. Thank you for your very well edited and presented video. Cheers
I'm guessing the V100 will feel at least as powerful as the power is produced far lower in the more usable region of the rev range. My Vstrom will out perform a KTM 1200/GS1250A below 5K as it makes all its torque at 4K, where I use it. I'm not sure how often you spend at 8-11K on your SX, but that's rare air for me. Cheers.
@@BlueMarbleRider After having ridden the GS (but also a KTM) and the Ninja SX in identical conditions, I can confirm that the big twins have more torque (although the SX is quite torquey for an inline-four) but the inline-four is more flexible, I can be in third when I would have to use a lower gear on the GS and when I need to accelerate it will pick up in a very linear way, should I need more punch, I just change gears (very light on the SX not so on the GS) and the engine will very quickly rev well above 5000 and deliver a lot of power. Where the big-twins really excel is i engine-breaking. Cheers
So WHEN will the V100 Mandelo be coming to USA?? Can't Wait 😁😍
December or January.
So how much is that in US dollars, man? This is an much larger market, you do a great review and leave is to we Americans to calculate the prices? USA - Standard model - $15527.00; Premium model - $17834.00 October 21st, 2022.
US the base model (in red or white) will sell for $15490 while the S model (green/silver and black/grey) will sell for $17490, about 20K out the door with dealer prep taxes according to a subscriber below. Cheers.
wow
Torque Reaction?
That was Eliminated when the CARC Drivetrain was introduced, so it's not been an issue on the Bikes equipped with it, since 2003/4(?)
Get on my Moto Guzzi and you will find that isn't completely true.
Time to sell the GS and make room for the S😊
I own 3 Guzzis, a V9, a V85-TT and a 1973 V7 sport, and I will make them 4 with the Mandello. However.....I don't think that I want the first year in production. Let them figure out all the corks and correct them. 2024 or 2025 will be the year that I'm writing a check for it.
You're a wise man. My thoughts exactly. Cheers.
I only need one mode:. ZOOM!
