Is it FAST though? Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S sound & quick review [RAW Onboard]

[@sv650nyc7]

The base red model with gold rims is one of the most beautiful bikes in production today.

[@WyFoster]

Man that thing sounds good!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@jaro-ch]

The X-Adv sounds much better😅

[@judge831]

I agree. It sounds very similar to Honda's 750 P-twin & Aprilias 660 P-twin

[@JCermak]

Thanks for a nice ride! 😆 I've got V100 S since the end of may and since then I did already 6200 kms on it. I owned V85 TT before and V85 is one of these bikes on which you sit and ride and you feel as you have it fo a long time. V100 S on the other hand needs some time to fully understand what the bike needs (at least in my case) but after that first period you realize that this is a very potent machine a f..ing good bike. It is very versatile, you can tour on it, you can sport on it and like you said it is a modern bike but they somehow achieved that in the same time it is still Guzzi with all the character you want from this brand. (yes I am long time Guzzi fan and had 3 other Guzzis before) The bike as a whole, the quickshifter, the Öhlins suspension everything need time to settle in, to work as expected, big improvement came after about 5000 kms. In the end I have no regrets that I made a trade in for my V85 TT as V100 S is perfect universal bike for all my needs. 😉

[@philipperoussel7797]

And no warning on a 18000€ bike's...🤔

[@williamhannas9342]

How do you manage the heat? It's a serious turn off for me.

[@salt_and_pepper]

Stellar sound! Thanks for capturing the sound.

[@truss6282]

That takes me back to my 20's. Living in the Texas hill country riding my sport bikes in the twisties. Very exciting days, just glad I lived through it.

[@jacopovilla9511]

I own a 2007 Breva 1100. Lovely bike in some ways the predecessor of the Mandello. Just like 911's no matter times change, Guzzi preserves the character: the same side-rocking feeling when idling, the same bellow at idling that reminds me of a palm muted rock guitar riff, the bellow of the exhaust that becomes a lovely baritone note at midrange and the unmisteakable character that made these bikes and the region I am from famous. Let's hope to see more in this direction.

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@southhillfarm2795]

Glad to see someone use a Guzzi like it’s supposed to be used. Very few videos with Guzzi like this.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@JFish-xj8oj]

Sounds absolutely incredible.

[@guitarbuzz]

Guzzi should pay you for this. Great capture of the sound and general impressions of this machine.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks man

[@SinnerSince1962]

Well, you’re riding way above my “sphincter pucker factor”, so I guess it’s fast enough for me!

[@closhookem]

Love your videos Schaaf! As a Moto Guzzi fan, thanks for doing this one! Hope to test drive this bike one day!

[@Schaaf]

Good luck!

[@stokerel]

Lovely! I bought a V85TT - my first Guzzi - three years ago after watching your raw. I was salivating over it since it came out and your video was the last drop 🙂 So thank you, I absolutely ADORE that bike. Now need a bigger garage for the V100S as well hahahahaha

[@Schaaf]

Great to hear! I still dream about my days with the V85! Amazing machine!

[@Damian78687]

Hi, may I ask about your experience with the v85tt. I am considering to buy that bike but I am a bit concerned. Thanks 😊

[@stokerel]

@@Damian78687 it's a great bike, does everything well and exceeded my expectations. Obviously it's not a GS power wise but it's not meant to be one. Currently 40,000km and plan to keep it beyond 100k ;)

[@Damian78687]

​@stokerel thank you. Enjoy your ride every day. Stay safe!

[@stokerel]

@@Damian78687 thanks buddy and you too! Happy New Year!

[@Sr.D]

Can't wait to see new classic styled Guzzis with the new engine!

[@meshplates]

Are models like that planned? Or is that a wish?

[@Sr.D]

@@meshplates a wish

[@bryanburger2126]

I’m right there with you wishing for a V85TT style bike with this engine.

[@sorryociffer]

Test road the V100 Mandello today. Best sounding stock exhaust I've heard...

[@nickzour7516]

Excellent video as always ! I have to admit, that I also got a V85TT some months ago and your video contributed too ! Keep scraping pegs ! And always stay safe...

[@Schaaf]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@julianstiff4685]

Seen many reviews of the mandeilo and none have made me consider trading in my R1250 rs. Think I now need to book a demo. Great riding too

[@sorryociffer]

I have a 1250GS and test rode a Mandello and Stelvio last week. BEST sounding stock exhaust ive ever heard, bar none. They also rode GREAT. Buying a Mandello in the spring.

[@charlesland5169]

Just bought a Mandello S and am in the break in period. Really liking this bike, very smooth on the whole. The cruise holds the exact mph, doesn't go above or below, like cars do. I noticed the active aero does help in the cooler weather. My hips and love handle area were far warmer than my thighs. The bike just feels polished as far as operating it goes. While it's fairly nimble it's not as nimble as my 650 RE, the RE is just a smidgen more nimble. I've fallen in love with this Mandello and am really enjoying it. Can't wait till spring to be out on the twistys. By then it will be broken in and I'll be used to it's ways.

[@Schaaf]

Congrats on getting a fantastic machine!

[@TheAlexitou]

The " pop pop pop" when you release the throttle... Music ! I wish i had enough money to buy the upcopming v100 Stelvio ^^ Great video and awesome riding skills

[@Schaaf]

me too ;) Thanks!

[@thesmoker4027]

MY LORD YES! FINALLY ❤ i was waiting for this video so much. Thank you

[@Schaaf]

You're welcome!!

[@AutobahnVault]

This amazing tune from a stock exhaust? IN LOVE!

[@Schaaf]

Sure is!

[@sorryociffer]

Test rode a Mandello and Stelvio last week. BEST sounding stock exhaust I've ever heard...It truly DOESN'T need an aftermarket slip on.... Put the big bore header on, and tune it...DONE. Even stock, it has the BEST pop on decel...

[@Belano1911]

Super demo of counter steering. Excellent video too.

[@Schaaf]

Thank you very much!

[@sanchoandfriends]

Best bike of 2023!

[@matthobbs6338]

Sounds really good! I saw a concept naked version that they are thinking of making and hope they do. Love your videos, keep them coming!

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@EmmanouilCharalamposTselidis]

One of the best Moto Guzzi's models. Stay safe man! Also v100 SOUNDS AMAZING!

[@itsplatesandwheels]

As a former Guzzi owner I must say it sounds really good, and finally, modern! Can’t wait for the stelvio to be out!

[@smurfgudrun]

Great review as always and I LOVE THAT BIKE!

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@zagmeher8941]

This is the vid I was waiting for! I really love this bike and I absolutely wish to buy one of it as soon as possibile! Really nice vid tho!

[@igioz]

huge sound so deep and hollow is mind blowing to see live waiting for Stelvio review!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@folconitro]

🎉 Grazie per questo meraviglioso video! Dice più di tante recensioni. Sei un grande!!

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@Motomack1042]

I pretty much agree with your total assessment. I did not like the Pirelli tires at all, once I switch from the Angle GT's to Dunlop Roadsmart tires the turn in was effortless and quicker and the bike feel more stable. Although the V100 does not really like being pushed hard, it does extremely well, I would like to have a steering damper for more aggressive riding.

[@c.g.c2067]

The low flickability of the Guzzi is maybe caused by the flat profile of its tyres. I'm sure that fitting sportier tyres it improves; also the handlebar could be wider to improve leverage.

[@Schaaf]

that is probably correct

[@dmaxcustom]

The flaps on the side tank are awesome!

[@Schaaf]

indeed!

[@robertmifkovic6325]

until you drop the bike and need to replace them :D

[@philc9305]

I've been looking forward to this one for some time.

[@thruxtonian5889]

I loved hearing the rear tyre chirruping as you went down the gears, that's so typical of shaft-drive transmissions!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

A very interesting and great sounding bike, and great video as always, thanks.

[@Schaaf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jgeph2.4]

Man that’s a machine ! 🎶

[@freeride6073]

I enjoyed watching the wings opening/closing . Nice machine and a great sound even with the stock muffler. It did backfire a lot more for my liking but hey ! Respectable acceleration although you don't buy a Guzzi for speed alone . Nice video thx

[@Schaaf]

Thanks 👍

[@MysticVic1]

Pay attention squids. Watch this guy's lines. The best I've ever seen on the internet. Including all the "How to ride" "how to corner" crap. Watch this guy.... Out wide...plant it...gas it. THIS is how to go fast on public roads and not eat it or get over your head. And DOWNSHIFTING on that torque monster... THATS where the fun is squids. 20yrs on big Guzzis. I imagine the V 100 is excellent.....just not 10k$ more excellent than my V 11 Sport.

[@nigelfisher3756]

Superb Moto Guzzi sound and character. Top riding from the dude. Who doesn’t love a quality Italian stallion, especially when the flying eagle is on the petrol tank?

[@Schaaf]

Yea!

[@jackieandleon]

I bought my V85 in part on how you loved the ride along with others. It's a comfortable machine and fun to ride. Love the looks of the V100 but a couple recurring annoyances in a lot of reviews is the buzzyness in the bars. That is usually bad for me so I did not even try this bike before I bought my v85 two months ago. Used but decked out with Bitubo suspension and all the performance mods already. very fun bike ,love it

[@Schaaf]

Thanks for sharing!

[@astramorikes224]

Excellent video as always !

[@zubinel9540]

Love the bike. Gonna buy one! One question... is it grounding out quite early? Am I hearing the hero blobs touching the road or is that your boots / knee pad? Doesn't look from the onboard like you're leaning off much.

[@cpuuk]

Dang that's fine looking bike 🙂 thanks for the run out.

[@IanTed]

Got tired of waiting so bought my lovely multi V2S, do love the sound of that engine, maybe next time👍 The V2S has the same power but less torque, it’s a great balance and plenty for the road.

[@Schaaf]

the V2 is absolutely amazing :)

[@dirkkahl1146]

Just replaced my Multi 950s by a V100 and didn’t regret it. Great Stuff, amazing sound as well as -special- riding experience. Love it!

[@harkbumo]

Very good! Stock exhaust sounds .

[@557.vision]

the flaps! you mentioned them - but forgot to say if they have any effect at all? did you feel a difference?

[@mjollnirtsubo]

What a bike!

[@M.H.M.1975]

Sounds great👍

[@tsdmoto]

Bike sounds so sick, great vid

Sure loving my Mandello S that I picked up about three weeks ago. What a great road to wring a bike out on!

[@SWEETVENOM100]

How tall are you? I’m 5’8 and wonder if it would be a good fit

[@peters6188]

Lovely induction sound. Is that footpegs I hear scraping?

[@gerdhermann752]

Never knew they sounded THIS good....😂

[@alwaysalphaofficial]

Looks/sounds like an amazing machine! I’m considering trading in my liter bike for one, getting old is weird.

[@AnAgedMan]

Interesting that the hazards automatically turn on when under hard braking. Cool feature

[@Schaaf]

:)

[@thomasbouvier3203]

I’ve been waiting for this one. Loved it…. But…. Too expensive for me sadly :( and it was a bit too leaned on the wrist for my daily use. Much attack oriented than I tough. But loved it.

[@Schaaf]

that's true!

[@gabrielidesVFR800]

Great video as per usual! lovely looking and sounding bike that!

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@lagerx61]

Pure Superbike-Sound. Like the bike😊

[@bsv64]

Good looking bike and sound

[@paulfarcas1514]

Great vids and great riding. Help a fellow rider, what would you go for considering a bit of weekend touring and daily rides outside of town, I want to buy my first new bike this summer. Would it be the Honda NT1100 manual or the Moto Guzzi V100 S? Test rode the Honda, but didn't get to test drive the MG due to local test drive unavailability.

[@Schaaf]

That's a question I can't answer for you. My needs are very specific. Just like everybody has their own. I'd never ever buy without a test ride

[@bjoernrider6164]

Damn it sounds good

[@wannesengelen6317]

Again an amazing review! I owned a MG Griso 8V... So I love the particularities of the brand... looking at a new tourer which is comfortable on longer day rides but still reasonably flickable in the mountains (where I live) ... AND that's not an ADV, on the shortlist this V100 and the R1250RS... I believe you have driven both, which did you like the best and for what reason?

[@Schaaf]

I can't make a comparison since its been many years since I rode the RS. But from my memory those two are rather similar.

[@peters4604]

Servus.Habe selber die V100 seit Anfang Juni. Jetzt knapp 8000km.Danke für deine Einschätzung. Es würde mich noch interessieren was du zu den Fahrmodi und allgemeinen Stabilität bei scharfer Fahrweise in den Kurven hälst. Könntest du deine Gegend für eine Tour erwähnen? Danke.

[@hauptmann25]

I had the opportunity to drive this machine 2 times now. Was really looking forward to it to, styling it up as a dream bike in my head but I came away dissapointed both times. I really disliked the turn in of the bike, it felt really indirect, like pushing the handle bars didnt produce an immediate response and I felt I could not control the amount of lean like I wanted. I tested it on a small track at a safety course and I was really slow and uncomfortable with it. I think it has something to do with how the handlebars are rather narrow and cranked back. Hell I felt more confidence flicking a GS and Multistrada around that tiny track than the Guzzi. Lovely engine tough.

[@Schaaf]

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have liked it either on a small track. It needs space ;)

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review and the sounded great.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks for watching

[@wielkibonzo]

Hey Schaaf! Love the bike but i am very intersted in your set up for recording. I like the camera angle and sound. I wanted to record some POV for my friends. Could you tell me what camera and mounts you used to shoot this POV? It is really nice to look at

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Beautiful bike, great sound, where do you place your mic? Cheers! 👍🏻

Thanks Gokul

[@TheDeadGI]

Stuck at desk, I’m riding by proxy, thanks Schaaf 😀 Nice bike, worth testing. And that sound 😍 By many aspects it seems to be close to BMW RS 1250. Is it ?

[@bricevictorfaindt3512]

I man!great video as always!!do you plan to try the new smt890?i'd like to have your impression about!!hope you gonna do it!thanks and enjoy 😉😉😉

[@OviOvi-y6d]

Awesome bike bro fits you very good 👍

[@Fernando90054]

In any way shape or form, is this bike comparable to a BMW R Nine T (road version)? I already know that one is a sport touring bike and the other is more a roadster style of bike. Considering those differences, the riding experience, and general performance, are they match able when the comparing criteria is which one delivers the most pleasurable riding experience (for the rider, mainly)? Or these are two very different motorcycles? Thanks for the video and for your kind opinion.

[@Schaaf]

Absolutely different indeed.

[@Rafamoto1978]

Fantástica prueba de la Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S, en un escenario sorprendente. Me ha encantado la carretera y la prueba al límite que haces de la máquina. Saludos cordiales 🏍✌

[@David..]

This bike in red could have a 50cc engine and it would still be great just off of how amazing it looks.

[@Schaaf]

Nice

[@KitMunki]

Love how this bike looks but why the black wheels instead of the gold??? Total missed opportunity and a deal breaker for me. Aprilia fell into the same trap. The bike shines otherwise! Why not make it shine some more. Great vid cheers 👍🏻

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@mxemvm]

Thanks for the video. Bike sounds awesome. Question for you how do blur your cluster? Thanks

[@Schaaf]

Adobe Premiere

[@thomasmuler2452]

Ich finde dieses Bike sehr gelungen von der gesamten Abstimmung für's Touring bis leicht "Sport". Auch vom Motor druckvoll genug von unten und gleichmässig nach oben. Insgesamt eine sehr positive Überraschung für mich gewesen. Nur sollte man ab einer gewissen Körpergrösse den spitzen Kniewinkel berücksichtigen. Den fande ich für mich schon an der Grenze. Ein höherer Sattel hätte für mich besser gepasst. Also sagen wir mal ab 1.80 plus oder so. 😉

[@sprezzatura8755]

Moto Guzzi offers a higher saddle as an accessory

[@Salvopassione]

Warte auf deine Fahrt mit der Stelvio 🤗

[@donr62]

How do you like it compared to the BMW R1250RS?

[@efword1200]

The active aero is so cool. A little too cool, actually. The constant temptation to watch it in action is very distracting.

[@Schaaf]

hahaha oh no

[@JoLXP]

That crackle during the overrun and down shit 😮 I want one!

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@lovethytuber4770]

Had a chance to test it myself and I agree with your assessment - love the looks, love the sound, love the rumble. It's a great tourer and a great machine in general but unfortunately a little to less sportstourer for me. The QS didn't work as great, the feeling for the front has room for improvement and the pegs touch down rather early. I still like the bike very much but the hype is gone. The way I see it, it's more a competitor for a NT1100 than for a Tracer 9GT. Maybe the new Stelvio will be the thing to go for, we'll see.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks for sharing mate

[@tdmtam]

Test ride the Navy Marine version the other week, really enjoyed it. Handled great, superb brakes plenty of grunt from that engine for me my only criticism was the down shift 3-2-1 was a clunky don’t know if that would get less with miles.

[@Schaaf]

Not really, it's part of the shaft drive charm

[@mattguzzim1744]

Seems to offer the same excitement I get from my 2004 V11 Sport!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@srhintz]

When you do the walk-around you should let us hear the idle. Love your no talk rides.

Thanks for the advice. Engines in idle usually drive me mad. But maybe I'll try to cope with that in the future ;)

[@Eillyassa]

Quick question: Does the V100 base model extend those flaps on the tank or is it only functional on the v100s?

[@whisperdancer]

Yes, it does.

[@John-ti7ye]

Thats a factory exhaust?

[@Schaaf]

Yes

[@joaosoares3719]

ABS kicked in a few times... Did you find a bit too intrusive?

[@edelgourmet2511]

Grüß dich Schaaf, viele kritisieren den Quickshifter, mein Vorführer hatte keinen verbaut. Warst du damit zufrieden? Würdest mir helfen mit deiner Meinung. Dickes Merci und schönes Video!

Kann mit denen von den meisten Tourern nicht mithalten, ist aber immer noch praktisch und ein Komfortgewinn ;)
