Title: Cadre Cycles Today
Post by: TN Mark on March 24, 2026, 11:46:02 PM
This morning I stopped at Cadre Cycle to pick up some Eldorado parts on my way further north. Enzo, Matt and Tim were all quite busy, as was everyone else working their. Yet they're all still as great to deal with as always. Matt, 'The Vespa Guy' at Cadre showed me the Vespa and Piaggio lines. That was a real education and Matt is certainly a good representative of those lines. I remember when the Piaggio MP3 first came out in 2006. I didn't actually know they were still being made. They have a beautiful new blue one ready for it's fortunate owner. It won't be me, yet. Not until I can no longer handle the Guzzi or the Victory Hard-Ball. Hopefully, that's a decade or more into the future.

The green V7 Sport and the black V85 Strada look nice as well. Well done Moto Guzzi and well done Cadre Cycle. It will be interesting to see how these lines, and others, get updated in the years to come.

I agree on the black Strada.  I like the grey from 2025 as well - both look very classy.  A bit disappointed with the red and green colours for 2025 - neither is my jam.  I wish I was ready to pull the trigger on one right now so I could grab a 2025....A grey or black Strada with the hard luggage added could conceivably be my forever bike.  It's perfection for me.

Just think how much money you will save over the rest of your lifetime if you get your "forever" bike now.   :laugh:

That would equate to the bargain of a lifetime.  No way to pass that one up!

You should definitely talk to Enzo as soon as possible. Their new bike inventory is rather impressive. With the factory shut down for renovation, the 2027 models won’t even begin to be made until the fourth quarter of this year. Piaggio will not allow Cadre Cycles to advertise their pricing on most of their new motorcycles.

My Eldorado 1400 is one of my forever bikes. The only money I spend on it now is on wear items unique to that line of bikes. The 1400s have been out of production for a while now. Therefore, whatever is in the pipeline now is likely all there will be.

That's the problem with this site - too many enablers!
