V100 Mandello Merged Threadfest

[Huzo]

I just thought they could be in 2 places at once.

Ciao

That’s going to be a problem if you are trying to remember where you left it.
“I could have sworn I left it here...
Must be in the other place..”

Good old Heisenberg, always uncertain..

[Smithy]

Any new news on this thing hitting the streets.
The danger of a too early info release is the hype dies off and people move on but I have come back around to getting one of these and a 660 Toureg to replace my current GS1250.

My local dealer said September.

[Huzo]

That’s great news..!
I’ll be in Mandello on Sep 6th, maggoted on red wine full of bullshit and bad manners.
Perfect fettle for a test thrash around the Lake....

Perfect opportunity for a Euro Delivery plan.   But opportunity and Moto Guzzi seem mutually exclusive.

So probably November...saddling dealers with floorplan they have difficulty in selling until the spring.

They’d sell in 5 minutes at the local brothel around the corner in the middle of winter.

I did that twice with BMW in the 80's. The second time I travelled with my friend that did it with a Mk4 Le Mans he picked up at Agostinis in Mandello who were the conduit for the Guzzi scheme at the time. Sadly neither do it anymore. The BMW system had a dedicated division for it, the European delivery centre in Munich. Extremely professional as they were also doing it for cars as well so they needed to cater to the high end collecting top of the range cars as well.

Local Dealer here in MB told me yesterday , earliest we can expect the V100 here is Summer/Fall of '23.

[ToddK]

Makes my decision to go with the Ninja SX this year feel more solid. Will definitely look forward to checking one out next Summer.

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Just had a test ride of the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 at my Guzzi-also-RE-dealer (lovely bike, btw).

We also had a chat about upcoming models.
He said there will be a handful of V100s for Mandello this September, rest of the world will follow 2023.
So pretty much in line with what Jorg66 reported.

Cheers,
D.

Isn't the V100 Mandello the new water cooled bike that Guzzi announced last November (2021)? Will there be any updates or new colors for 2023 models? I don't know whether to expect a price increase for 2023, or a NOS discount.

[Dirk_S]

Now a ‘23 release?

What’s that veiled-buying process that some folks do, where they drive a Euro vehicle around Europe, then get it shipped to the U.S., as a used vehicle…saves $$, right?

[guzzisteve]

I talked to the Tech Rep here in the South a month ago, they were preparing for production. He said we should have them this fall in 2022.

[Jorg66]

Could very well be ,States first [Fall /Winter '22],than Canada [perhaps Spring] otherwise Summer of '23.

We nixed our trip to Mandello as the factory/museum is only open an hour (if it was even going to be open) and it was a big diversion from where the wife and her sister wanted to go. A bit bummed, but it will be there. This trip is to celebrate my sister in laws wedding, and trip around Italy, so we are letting them pick the locations. They were wiling to go up to Como, but it would have taken away from time in Venice, that 5 village hike thing, and the Amalfi Coast.  I did manage to get the Ferrari museum onto the itinerary as we are going through Bologna.

All agree that next trip will include 3-4 days up in the Como area. Also need to make my way one of these days to Accettura my Grandmothers home village.

Do the Italians tolerate bad behavior? ;-)

Maybe they are waiting on parts from China.

Too busy working on the 850x

EVERYTHING is in short supply.  Everything.  But just for sport, or spite, or whatever, let's all nail Guzzi to the cross for not having the bike here when WE want it.  Geez.  It's only a motorcycle.



We can't get the MATERIALS  to make kitchen cabinets-or get them in such short supply only 1/3 of orders get built.  Order TODAY and our BEST guess is around Jan 2023.  That's a GUESS.  Kitchen sink stuff?  You kidding?  EVERYTHING is back ordered.  Jobs are sitting there unfinished for months.  Can-Am Spyders are sitting on the floor, brand new, waiting for a few parts to get shipped to dealers so customers can FINALLY get their new ride.

The '5 village hike thing' is the Chinque Terre - 5 pearls I believe. You MUST take time to enjoy that area but be sure to check the trails before you set out on foot. They're subject to washing out and closure.

Stunning views, fascinating architecture, good food and warm people made our trip unforgettable.

let's all nail Guzzi to the cross

Can’t….
Crosses are in short supply…

So the shortages aren't a totally bad thing then

We did it, was great. Hiked between all the villages.

Bahahaaaaa!  

I think we are all chomping at the bit to see what the V100 will be like, but it helps no one to grouse about it or harangue the manufacturer. I doubt the big hats at corporate read WG, but I know that Toyota execs monitored to two main Tundra Forums, and felt pressured to get the new Tundra to market due to all the grousing (at least that is what a buddy who works at the San Antonio plant related to me). They rushed the factory transition to the new truck, and final development, and the rollout of the new TTV6 has been a mess.

Let Guzzi be. The V100 will (may) make it to market, some will hate it some will love it, some will be the Guinea pig of 1st year model, some will scoop up the leftovers at big discounts, some will stick with what they have, and all should be content. 99% of those on this forum have far more to be thankful for than many in the world, and complaining about a delayed motorcycle is just not worth the negativity. 

Am about to go pickup a trailer to drag the 1200 Sport and Convert to Kentucky for my move there. I sign into work and for my housing tomorrow at 9am.....

[blu guzz]

where are you going to be living in KY?  Be sure to come to the KY Rally in Sept.

Birds of a feather.  Death by convenient excuse...

I took the ferry to visit a couple of the 5 villages and went for swim at one of the beaches.  Some our fellow travelers hiked the trails.  Each his own.
