V100s on sale.

Given the fact that, in general, women are much, much more articulate than men,& more socially adept, it seems like a good business decision to have them as sales representatives whenever possible.

Especially if they are cute!

This most likely won't be popular, but it seems much ado about nothing.

Amen!

"Much ado about nothing" is exactly why internet forums are popular.

Everyone is an expert, except the other guy......

It doesn't cost anything to voice an opinion, & if you don't expect anyone to agree with you, there is no downside!

Everyone love dopamine!

Cute Tomboys with a guy-like, wise ass sense of humor will sell a lot of bikes!!

I bought a new Guzzi last week. The gal doing the paperwork, financing and up-sells was good looking. I didn't finance or take any of the extras but I bet she sells a lot of them. She didn't try to talk me into anything as I told her I did all my own work. She was very nice and knew what she was doing. I got the title in the mail yesterday, fastest ever.

I am surprised that most of you even own anything.

I was just posting a price I saw and wondered what people were seeing in their areas. 

But this IS wildguzzi, with emphasis on the wild.   


Some of you all need to be haunting new rider forums and and teaching them your ways that are obvious to those of us on this forum.  Sheese.

Probably pretty accurate aside from the doc and frieght free. A few yrs back I bought a leftover 23 V85tt travel which was about 12k. Some dealers were selling the base V85tt for 8 or 9K but unfortunately other dealers dont always know this unless a consumer asks, "can you get me the same deal as dealer B"

We've all seen some dealers sell leftover Bobbers for 6k.

Leafman got a price from Cadre for a V100S and called a dealer in Florida because it would have been a closer dealer to his location, but they couldn't match the price for the same bike and advised him to buy it from Cadre. And I believe their advertised price was the same as Cadre's price but their out the door was substantially more money.

I recently purchased a 2024 V100 for $13000 OTD. That included a $500 first responder discount. The advertised price was $10K but with the added fees it was still a great deal. If anyone thinks that isn't cheap enough for an amazing motorcycle maybe you should find another hobby.

I think I will find the Mondello to be too heavy but when we return to the US in November I'm going to look at one at the local dealer.  I suspect I will end up buying a V7 Special instead but if the "move around the garage" weight isn't excessive I might go with the Mondello.  BUT it will have to feel lighter than my BMW R1200RS, which I would sell/trade to buy the Mondello if I liked the Guzzi better.

I duck walk my bikes backwards, and ride them forwards in the garage, so seat height is the determining factor.

+1 yep, the common sense way to move a heavy bike around a tight space, in the garage or otherwise 👍

I find the Mandello to be very well balanced an manageable in the garage. I have to duck walk it backward between cars in the garage, and it's very easy. I find it very easy to come to a stop and balance the bike before putting my feet down. I like to see how long I can keep it balanced before I need to put a foot down. The V100 is much easier to do this with than my Tracer. Even though the Tracer has a significantly lower weight, it is taller and carries weight a little higher.

Good info guys, thanks!!

International Motorsports (in Vancouver BC) has a left-over 2023 V100 for sale for CA$ 10,000 (+ tax). See https://www.internationalmotorsports.com/inventory/2023-moto-guzzi-v100-mandello-langley-bc-v1m-4c2-12724321i  That is a excellent price, but it also shows that they do not sell as well as Piaggio had hoped...

(the 2025 Mandello's go for CA$ 18,000...)

[ridingron]

I did about 30 minute test ride. Not overly impressed. I thought they all had ABS? I know I skidded the rear wheel 3 times.

[kingoffleece]

They do have ABS.  Your test bike may have had it turned off, which is possible in custom settings, or so I'm told.
