Guzzi at EICMA 2025

[bad Chad]

Sorry MotorMike, there are no longer any Progressive M/C shows anywhere.

We apparently didn't do a very good job selling the concept of motorcycle riding to the next gen.

Several of my dealer and large aftermarket friends used to booth at those shows.  The costs were getting WAY out of hand and attendance was dropping the last several years.

These shows may not be apples to apples comparisons, consider a couple factors like location/market, and priorities. Like, I used to attend comic conventions, both as an artist in artists alley and as a visitor to shop my portfolio to publishers. Some of those conventions, including big, well-known ones, are no longer around. Some are.

We Americans know, but we have to be reminded as with many aspects of global relations, that the U.S. market does not equate to other markets. I don’t find it surprising that some major US shows may falter for a number of reasons while other shows in other countries continue on. One isn’t indicative of all.

And there you have it.

The problems with the Mandello were in the early production runs. This can be expected with any brand new ground up model. I bought one of the very early R75/5 BMW's. Did I have some problems, yes, did it sour me on the bike, no. I rode it for 100,000 miles  with only one major problem but it was most likely self inflicted. My '23 Mandello which I just passed on to a new owner had zero issues in almost 10,000 miles. It was a great bike I just couldn't ride it anymore due to age. I will miss it just like my Audace but I am loving my new V7850.

Great photos bad Chad, thanks so much.  You made the blue V85 Travel look pretty good!

Worse color schemes yet....... Other than the Red V7 Sport, I say YUK......... And WHEN are they going to start painting the rear fender? Or the fantastic brushed aluminum they had on the V7ii Stornello? Hideous............

Another year of keeping my $$ in my pocket............. .. I got all excited a few weeks ago when I saw what ended up being an  AI generated V85 Sport with limey green tank and red frame, single headlight, etc .............

The red one was also the only one I thought looked good.

Paint the black rear fender red and I think that bike would look even better.

I think the new models will help maintain the resale values of the previous year bikes.

Based on the show, my "additional " Guzzi doesn't exist.  I'm thinking Honda CB1000F...

Just really fugly colors:

This is incredibly ridiculous and sad.

The green Stelvio looks great, and the Blue V85 as well.  The V7 sport just looks slightly 'off' to me, I dunno- not muscular enough. The stone looks fine but I hate khaki/sand/brown/tan/dune or whatever all these 'tacticool' or trendy 'rugged overlanding' color schemes.

I do love that stopped putting thos horrible graphics stickers under the clear coat of V7 tanks!  I could do without the 'Stelvio' on the tank of that one as well

Wonder what happened to the Aprilia 457 spinoff everyone on the internet was 'leaking'?
