That is a stunning bike. Guzzi chooses colors so well. That candy-apple frame is gorgeous  :thumb:

I think it is the best "do it all" bike on the market today.  For me, it was the first adv. bike I ever considered because to me, the other brand's adv.s are really not to my taste in the looks department.  My son has an Africa Twin that I think is a good looking adv bike, but I need a step ladder to climb on board.  I know air cooled makes less power, but I like the classic look of real fins better too. 
I hope you get many great miles.

When I first saw a picture of one of these I thought it wass pretty garish. Then when I went to the dealership to do the deal on my V100 I saw one in person. I though gee this has got to be the most eye catching, in a good way, bike Guzzi has ever made. I almost had second thoughts on the Mandello but not quite my type of motorcycle. Enjoy.  :thumb:

I want sure until I saw it in person. But after seeing it there was no going back. Appreciate everyone’s well wishes. Blew my mind to have filled up in Austin and no stops till Galveston. I’m really in love with this bike.
