V100 Mandello Merged Threadfest

[Huzo]

If they're using titanium nuts and bolts and drilling bolts to lose weight, why would they add the weight? I doubt that the guys riding those bikes  would have a problem looking back. That's if they care. What's that note on the side mirrors? Things in your rear view mirror no longer matter?

I know it’s a somewhat foreign concept, but I think he was joking….

Well I have never been the one to mindlessly follow to the trough It will be interesting to ride and I guess if your buying that air coolers cant get by emissions then we will have to line up.
It still seems that this one is more or less a newer version of the 2008 1200 Sport.
If its half as good as that one it should be a keeper.

I don’t know if this has been posted, too much electronic things for me and the style is not for me. It’s a cool bike though

[jrt]

I have not seen that video.  Thanks for posting-

[blu guzz]

I had not seen the Red color yet.  It is also very nice.  I thought he said 4.6 gallon tank.  I hope that was a misstatement.  Under 5 gallons is not good for a bike with the mission of the V100.

[ScepticalScotty]

It may be pretty economical Blu.

[PJPR01]

It's a good looking bike...going to be hard to decide on Red or Green!  If it gets 50 mpg, then a 4.6 gallon tank should be no problem...curious to see what type of fuel economy it will get in real world use.
 
The side venting I wonder if it also acts like DRS in Formula 1 to give a boost of speed!!

[Cam3512]

Red is the entry level, the green is an upgraded version likely $2-3K higher price tag.  Damn that is a sexy lookin’ bike.

[Pescatore]

I hope they will offer the high end model in red as well.

[kballowe]

I can't get past the color scheme (s).  Although, the red is less [censored] [censored] [censored].   I think it's the gold wheels.   Ewwwwwwww !

..... and there's a lot of Italian electronics on those bikes.......

Maybe NEXT model year.

 

[Johncolleary]

I like it, When can I get up close and personal?

[Motormike]

Couldn't help but notice the foot peg brackets appear to bolt directly to the engine case.  Suspect those pegs would get pretty buzzy.  Nice looking bike though. 

[Cam3512]

Hamlin says they’ll start trickling into the dealers Oct-Jan.

[9fingers]

I'll take a red one..........

I'm on board for a red one. I might have to sell my 907 Paso.

Dealers are taking orders in September for projected December delivery. Many dealers already have a list of folks with deposits down.

[Iron Cross Junction]

Couldn't make it through the whole vid, and maybe this has already been beaten to death here ... but any mentions of weight besides pure SWAG's?

Thanks.

I thought that I remember reading it was going to be in low 500lb range, like 507lbs.

Kevin...you think there will be fewer electronics on the next model year?  Considering that the average residency of the bikes in your garage is 1 year max, you can easily sell it when you get tired of it!!

So what does the green have that the red doesn’t?  I have yet to find a page that lists features. Mine will be red regardless.

All that newness and it still has an ignition key. Dumb.

the green one has the full suite of Ohlins semi-active computer controlled suspension. This pkg usually ups the price on similarly equipped Aprilia and Ducati bikes by $3-4k.

My dealer also told me the green one would *probably* also include the bags, but that is not confirmed.

Looks like they may have ditched the gold wheels, so that may sweeten the pot for you.

I like the gold myself, and now that I see what it looks like with plain old black rims, I feel like the gold makes the bike!

[JJ]

One of the Phoenix Guzzisti, "Richard" told all of us at the recent Datil Rally that he has one on order through GP Cycles in San Diego...

They told him that is should be here sometime in October...

He also said he has no idea what the OTD (Out-the-Door) price is going to be (???????) - Maybe $18,000 + TTL (????)

I completely agree, the gold wheels really make the bike in either paint scheme. I think I will just have to paint the wheels gold myself.

I think I have given up hope that there would be a center stand available though. From the pics I can't quite see how Moto Guzzi could get one under it with that exhaust. Maybe Hepco-Becker and Mistrel could tackle the issue together and make a package deal.

He told me the same thing before leaving for Datil.  Revolving door at his house.
