Title: V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel
Post by: Tom on January 08, 2025, 01:31:42 PM
FYI  115 HP   :bow:  $18K  YOwza!  If posted already.  Let me know, I'll pull the thread.  Guess they still can't use the Le Mans title.

Is the blue the matte finish paint? ugh!


Is that white or another shade of battleship grey?

I hope so.  I don't think that they would eat them while they're alive. :laugh:

Okay, what then is Guzzi direct competition for this bike.   Is isn’t anything thing from the the big 4, because Guzzi has never competed with Japanese brands for the same buyer.   Is there any real competition for this bike, and if so how much does it cost?

I'd say the BMW R1250RS would be a competitor.

I'm not sure they are direct competitors, and to get a BMW equipped like the Wind Tunnel you are going to be way over 20K.

Looks nice, but no thank you.  :thumb:  I'd have to sell all 6 of the bikes I have and probably STILL be short!

What's the story on not using the LeMans moniker?

It's not a bad looking bike, but I still don't much care for the looks of side-exit headers.

Well it looks to me to be right in there with something like a BMW RT which would be the only other one I would be interested in.  This seems to be reality of the times.  Actually, these prices are not as high as some other full dress/two up touring bikes I have seen; seen prices all the way up to the high $30'sK's...

BMW RT
Base model $19,995 MSRP
As shown $26,945 MSRP

Read it and weep, the world we live in.  OR you can wait and get a Chinese bike which I am sure will be much more affordable...

Is that an official moto guzzi website?  I click on some of the accessories and no link to description.  Clicked on some other links that were broken

This is the official website. https://www.motoguzzi.com/us_EN/

There is a blue bike but they are not calling it the wind tunnel.

The official Guzzi site is now updated, I think it was being so, yesterday, but incomplete.  Looks like the Wind Tunnel is only in special red.

No Huzo, don't be ridiculous, everyone knows it's not just dawgs, it's all types of pets, that are eaten in Ohio.

I'd rather have the S with the gold rims in either green or red.

Are these bikes in USA showrooms and if not when are they expected?  Two friends are ready to buy as soon as they arrive in the local showroom.

We used to.  Hawaiian dogs raised with pigs were vegetarian.  They did not bark.  The dogs outside of the farm compound were pets.  This is pre-European contact aka Capt. Cook.  No cows.  Protein source. I have eaten dog in Luk Ma Chow overlook, New Territories, Hong Kong......a long time ago.  Grilled.  They still do some place in China along with cats.   :food:  Tast like chicken.

They used to eat "long pigs" in Kiwi land and other parts of Polynesia.   :tongue: :wink: 

"The expression "long pig" is not a joke, nor a phrase invented by Europeans, but one frequently used by the Fijians, who looked upon a corpse as ordinary butcher's meat, and call a human body puaka balava, " long pig," in contradistinction to puaka dina, or " real pig.""
