Matt Oxley's book is fantastic. Engineering, racing, espionage, This is a must read. No youtube video can do this story justice.

lets put aside for the moment the title  AI picture showing a suzuki twin with 3 exhaust pipes.... LOL.  that should already tell you something

the whole channel is click bait, look at the titles: worst, stolen, hated, terrified.....

do everyone a favor, dont click on it.

I think a big justification is that they're keeping Moto Guzzi production at the factory in Italy. IMO, that's a worthwhile investment for the brand. Also don't forget the timing, they decided on the factory refresh back in 2021.

Tons of good riding in Arkansas. Stay out of the delta, and you have some of the best roads in the USA. The Ozarks and the Ouachitas are great riding areas. One of my favorite roads is Hwy 123, with great curves and scenery. So much info its hard to tell you all of it on a forum. If you're going to the Arkansas camp out, bring a map and I'll make some routes for you. I'll be at campsite 84.

There's a great book about it, "Stealing Speed".  It's about the design, the struggles of building the bike in E Germany, betrayal, family..

I put my copy at a Dirty Santa party, no one took it.   I checked and the aperback was $100!  I took it to the following year's party, told them but didn't put it up as a gift.

Really? That’s it:

At Moto Guzzi, sales rose for the V100 Mandello.

Seriously, how does Piaggio justify another Moto Guzzi factory refresh?
