Bitting bullets
« on: October 15, 2022, 01:07:27 PM »
YES I BIT THE BULLET. AFTER MUCH AGONIZING ABOUT RELEASE DATES, WEIGHT, COLOR, AND TWO MODELS, NOW THREE WITH THE GRAY aviation model now coming out. I finally went for the green and silver V100.  :clock: Yes I put a deposit on one at AF1 racing, the dealer I trust, wish Mike still sold them at MPH. They said the bikes should ship in mid December😂😂, but I’m hoping for a spring delivery. Comments on my choice, good or bad?

There is a V100 FB page and that is where I’ve been finding most of the info on the new bikes.

The Tenni green and silver model in all the videos is strikingly beautiful. Congratulations to you for putting your order in.

The Tenni green of your new V-100 matches nicely the green I am with envy.   So looking forward to your reports once you have it.

Good work! New models always creates more selections for us bottom feeders… :bow:

As usual these will look better in person, I’m sure….like all Guzzi I’ve seen…


So when will someone put a Windjammer on it?  :evil:
