Smokey, too many folks nowadays take themselves too seriously. I smile every time I turn on your channel and you’re just having honest fun on these bikes. Love your content. Keep it up! Also, you ride like a bat outta hell on road and off-road. Much respect.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Thanks Joe appreciate that 🥺🙏

[@steppenwo1fsgl244]

I have a V85tt it’s hard to explain to other riders what MG are about, but once they ride one they know just how special they are, great video !!!

[@jdesmo1]

Fighting the spread of the German ugly motorcycle pandemic. Bravo MG

[@Angry-Lynx]

Did u see new duke 990. KTm clearly really wants to take the crown of the worst design ever 😅

[@jdesmo1]

[@sorryociffer]

Test rode the Stelvio and Mandello last week. LOVED THEM. BEST sounding stock exhaust I've ever heard...

[@davidherringgo]

I just Demoed a V 100 Mandelo . Best quick shifter I have ever tried. Slow speed maneuvering was very smooth and effortless.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Great to hear! Will pick that one up next week 😁

[@johngoodlass]

@@LifeofSmokey Not happy with my V100 its been a love and hate relationship been without her for a month awaiting a new collector box as it sheared away from the exhaust , Moto Guzzi Italy received the warranty 13th May and then shipped it 28th May and my local dealer in the UK is still awaiting it (they have today informed me they have no idea on when it will arrive or if it will arrive) and have taken the collector box off a newly delivered V100 ... Avoid Guzzi at all costs is now my rule and back to BMW

[@risingphoenix1187]

This is a good review. I enjoyed your giddy character and also how the bike rides for a long period of time on different types of roads. I personally love the look of this bike and saw it in person recently. I will be going to their website to spec one after this. Great job and keep up the good work. 👍

[@LifeofSmokey]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😎👌🙏

[@pedrosimoes6041]

Waiting for it, like on all the other videos. Good job, great chanel. Thanks for all the help. Best regards from Portugal 👍

[@LifeofSmokey]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ozyrob1]

Look forward to hearing your comments comparing this to the new V85TT.

[@greengreenie55]

This is the review I've been waiting for, seriously considering one of these, you've given it another tick, have to sort out a test ride and try to work out how to open my wallet!!! Yet again a fun video, keep it up.

[@bracksangthai111]

heel goede revieuw Smokey,prachtige motor en heel bekende streek !!!

[@raimondogualazzini]

Just subscribed. Brilliant review. If you want a real feel for a Guzzi , any Guzzi will do. They are amazing and unique. Each model will make you smile. Could i ask if you would review the Aprilia Tuareg 660. I bet you can pop wheelies with that one easily 😂. Thank you

[@itsallabouttheridekeepingi4449]

Mate Paul from Australia, I think 🤔 they are talking about the simple air cooled Guzzi , like the V85tt ( like I have ) you will probably be discussing with the power but it’s old school engine with new tech .

[@bigdavecoxy]

Please do a pillion test to check the front end handling with the transverse V characteristic. Does rear pre-set adjustment neutralise the effect?

[@romanbednar5917]

I would recommend to try one of those last air cooled big blocks, Griso 1200 8v has better front forks, but I think that Breva Sport 1200 8v is more comfy on a highway. There was also older 1100 engine, but it was a little anemic and with 2 valves per cylinder it didn't like higher revs. V11 LeMans would be also an interesting option...

[@aolteanu15]

I have a 2018 Moto Guzzi v7 Stone. I love it. You should definetly try a V7, newer or older. They're great

[@andrewgardner4606]

Try a Griso if you can find one. They have the full Guzzi effect. No extras like ABS and Traction Control. I swapped mine out last year for the V100 and I'm not sure if I didn't make a mistake doing that.

funny and engaging... my new preferred reviewer. :D

[@LifeofSmokey]

Thanks bud 😁👌

[@rubenrealcasas9909]

Me he visto el vídeo 2 veces, me gusta mucho como has planteado la review, estoy esperando una en negro con radar desde hace 1 mes y creo que la tendré en 1 o 2 semanas, puedes contarme algo más sobre las suspensión, te parecen de calidad Top o se pueden mejorar, cuando me llegue tendré que ir a un técnico en suspensión ya que mido 169cm y llegó con la puntita de los pies, un saludo y gracias!!!

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

Very nice touring bike😊

[@KalJoao]

Would you rather have this or a slightly cheaper base model Norden for freeway commuting and weekend cruising? Trying to choose my next bike! :D. Thanks for the great reviews as always, just subscribed!

[@LifeofSmokey]

The Norden is also a very nice bike but the Moto Guzzi has more passion when riding. 😁🤌

[@mar0364]

I had the pleasure of owning a Guzzi, and it was truly a joy. However, I couldn't help but feel that its potential in the US market was hindered by the lack of a reliable dealership network. Service and support are pivotal aspects, often overlooked, where many Italian motorcycle manufacturers struggle in the US. I hope that's not the case in Europe.

[@emmsar708]

Depends on the country. In Greece moto guzzi after sales service is poor. Most people buy bmw and Hondas for quicker more reliable service.

[@giuseppelicari1939]

@smokey you call a Moto Guzzi fan "Guzzista" 😉 It's always a lot of fun watching your videos🤙

[@LifeofSmokey]

Cool, thanks 😁👌🙏

[@marcel6264]

Een Guzzi voor mij is nukkig als het koud is, karakter met de twist, luchtgekoeld met cardan en dat schrijf ik als V85tt eigenaar. Leuke review met genoeg humor Smokey.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Wil ik zeker nog testen de V85tt , ziet er gewoon enorm cool uit 😁

[@jofr4]

30:10 I’ve got a v100s and that sound is indeed very addicted :D Sadly that the new Stelvio don’t have electronic suspension, i would have switch in a heartbeat.

[@valefur72]

I think they will do something in regards next year...

[@stevendegoodmojosmet4034]

Machtige motor, ben er fan van, . als beemer gs rijder, machtig. een ECHTE motor. cool stuff Smokey-man. geef goaaz. good mojo wheeler .

[@kowal1937]

Smokey, Sir! How would you compare this bike to a Multi V2? Does it feel much heavier? Is the engine as punchy as Multi's? How much does it vibrate? Handling - is it similarly flickable? Or much more stable, GS like?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Bike does not feel heavy to me no , only been riding a Multi V2 on Spa Francorchamps so not on the road. Also over a year ago so hard to remember after all the bikes I have been riding. It's not that flickable as a V2 no. It's more like a GS. I love it's dna and how good it feels when riding 😊

[@gerokatseros]

Your reviews have a good sense of humour and are fun to watch my friend. So which one do you like more? this or Africa Twin? Didn't you feel like the MG lucks some power in the low rev?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Not really no , I found the MG to have good amounts of power in low revs. Will be riding the Honda AT soon 🙂

[@gerokatseros]

@@LifeofSmokey I cant't wait to see the video! I got subscribed today to get noticed! Please when doing the video, compare the AT to the MG

[@Damian78687]

Without the possibility of a test ride, I have finally chosen the tiger 900 gt pro, which I am going to pick up in 3 days 😀

[@Whiteduck72]

Goeie review zoals gewoonlijk 😀 Klein vraagje , welke regio/streek/ natuurgebied is dat waat je even "off road" reed ? Thx !

[@Whiteduck72]

[@gerryryan2302]

The most beautiful bike ever is the Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans ..period

[@marcbiff2192]

My brother has a 1976 MK 1 in red which was the best looking of the Le Mans marks.

[@ozyrob1]

Specifically the Mk 1

[@chrissunde1104]

I saw an 850 LeMans parked on the street when I was 13... Fell in love

[@marcbiff2192]

Off topic.Where did you get the Honda 125 Trail?,we cannot get them in the UK at least through Honda.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Fourstrokebarn in the Netherlands is where I got mine , you can also ask Tvp classics in Belgium and say Smokey send ya.

[@Mauni77]

When im old enough i get stelvio. Must be real gentlemen advecruiser. 👍 Mean while Pan America ✊

[@LHT-Casual]

I'd say to get the true soul of a Guzzista, you'd need to ride two bikes. The first is a small block V7, V9, or V85TT. They are light, nimble, and love to rev out, which isn't that common with v-twins. Then you need ride a big block, I suggest a Griso 8V or Stelvio NTX. Rich, smooth power that builds and builds through the entire rev range.

[@DGBomber]

Very interested on what you think of the Mandello V100 2024 compared to the Stelvio!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Review coming soon 😁

[@andreglomm9843]

Too small for my 6'5" 😂 👍 for the Video

[@user-cu8lw1uc5w]

Hi 😊best performance

[@Motowanderlust]

Are you going to do a video with the 2024 V85TT?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Hopefully yes 😁

[@carlosalbertosoares1]

Try the AUDACE 1400 carbon

[@tomharrison4012]

Smokey, a Guzzi rider is called a Guzzista and if you want a real sports Guzzi you should try an OG v7 sport or a mk1 Le Mans. Or a Spada 1000 for a classic touring style one! Look forward to seeing more Guzzi content!!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Appreciate that Tom! 😊👌

[@aces928]

I insist on a shaft drive bike for the occasional off pavement and long distance riding. Below 20k in price, is there a better choice?

[@903lew]

V85 TT maybe? Or a base model/used GS I guess.

[@ozyrob1]

Are engine protection bars available from Guzzi as an accessory?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Have to ask , not sure about that yet 🙂

[@crash830502]

Yes 😊

[@ringo4419]

Happy guy, 😊

[@_audacerider3838]

Moto Guzzi fan is called Guzzisti and if You wanna try a proper Guzzi swing your leg over a Moto Guzzi California Audace 1400 make sure it is velove mode and you spin it above 4,500rpm all the way up to 7000rpm

[@Saint_Maximus_III]

8:56 not the 🤌🤌🤌🤣

[@Gargantu4]

One that rides Moto Guzzi is a Guzzista ;) What about you try the old Moto Guzzi V7, Le Mans?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Looking for one haha. Just brought home the V100 Mandello Marina 😁

[@rawallamichanne9529]

Plzz make video of m1000xr smokey❤
