What did I miss? I remember you talking about a stumble some point back, but not that you had a failure. What happened? Dropped valve? Burned Valve Seat? That stinks, I know you were piling the miles on.Overall though I think the V85 has been a stellar launch and mostly problem free other than the rear hub seal. Here's hoping the V100 is similar and not like the hydro or early 8V or other fiasco's
Good idea! But who won Bad Chad's HP and Torque contest?
I wonder if you will be able to mount running lights to the exhaust covers, or if engine guards will hide the exhaust a little bike. I'm sure I will get used to them, but they are the only item that stands out as odd to me.
And the gearbox oil incorrectly filled causing failures and the stumbling issue in this thread rectified by an updated part and the leaking hub seal. Don't know about most people but that's a bit short of a stellar record for mine. I'm a hard marker I admit. Then there's the stuff that's captured before delivery and addressed on the PD that the owner never sees. Ciao
Meh, subjective....... For a brand new model, these are all minor. Pretty good for Moto Guzzi.
Jeez, you’re right.They both have a wheel on each end, it’s uncanny..
Nice ,but not sure the tank would fit with all the intake stuff going on between the vee on that new motor
I really, really like that. kk
If so, that should mean a sub $11,000 starting point for USA.
How do you figure, Chad? The Euro has been slightly more than the US Dollar for some time now, no?
Pete aka "Street" from the Griso Ghetto Forum created this nice image ... ;-)
Three things I'm interested in:Panniers: What do they look like, how do they mount/unmount, and how much do they carry?Center stand: As a sport-touring bike, the V100 will encounter nails and screws and other debris that require plugging tires. No centerstand increases the difficulty of roadside repair.Service training: How is Moto Guzzi scheduling training for dealer technicians? With a brand-new engine (cooling, especially), how do they plan to achieve this critical-for-early-adopters training?I do know that other questions arise (will Bags-Connection attachments exist? Will Givi universal topcase work? Is there even a luggage rack?). For me, though, the three questions above are really important to me.
Just hoping that it’s around 450 lbs or less, if so it’s in my garage. Had a call from AF1, asking if I want to put money down on one, told them I have a knee replacement due in March, if I wake up, I’ll put money down, and sell one or two bikes.
Is anyone else concerned that the weight of this machine still doesn't seem to be posted anywhere?
