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

[@Sr.D]

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

[@salt_and_pepper]

Stellar sound! Thanks for capturing the sound.

[@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!

[@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.

[@JFish-xj8oj]

Sounds absolutely incredible.

[@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!

[@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!

[@philc9305]

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

[@astramorikes224]

Excellent video as always !

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@thesmoker4027]

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

[@Schaaf]

You're welcome!!

[@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.

[@sanchoandfriends]

Best bike of 2023!

[@smurfgudrun]

Great review as always and I LOVE THAT BIKE!

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@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!

[@folconitro]

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

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@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!

[@cpuuk]

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

[@guitarbuzz]

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

[@Schaaf]

Thanks man

[@harkbumo]

Very good! Stock exhaust sounds .

[@deadlinejunky551]

nice ride and video! :D

[@gabrielidesVFR800]

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

[@Schaaf]

thanks!

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

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

[@Schaaf]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sorryociffer]

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

[@igioz]

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

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@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!

[@M.H.M.1975]

Sounds great👍

[@EmmanouilCharalamposTselidis]

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

[@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!

[@jgeph2.4]

Man that’s a machine ! 🎶

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review and the sounded great.

[@Schaaf]

Thanks for watching

[@kingkrimson8771]

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

[@tsdmoto]

Bike sounds so sick, great vid

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@golekdalanesyukur2790]

Baru kemarin nonton review di channel Otomotif Tv, keren Schaaf!

[@Schaaf]

nice, thanks

[@user-js7gx3fw9q]

Awesome bike bro fits you very good 👍

[@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!

[@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.

[@lagerx61]

Pure Superbike-Sound. Like the bike😊

[@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...

[@bsv64]

Good looking bike and sound

[@bjoernrider6164]

Damn it sounds good

[@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 😉😉😉

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!

[@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 🏍✌

[@DJAceBlack]

Like always: Nice video 🙂👍

[@Schaaf]

Thanks again!

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

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

[@mjollnirtsubo]

What a bike!

[@heyhey-dl6if]

OMG it's alive!

[@gerdhermann752]

Never knew they sounded THIS good....😂

[@maobao9244]

nice bike !!

[@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!

[@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

[@peters6188]

Lovely induction sound. Is that footpegs I hear scraping?

[@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.

[@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

[@Salvopassione]

Warte auf deine Fahrt mit der Stelvio 🤗

[@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 ?

[@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

[@thruxtonian5889]

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

[@Schaaf]

Thanks

[@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.

[@gokulkrishm51]

Okay that flaps thing is super cool!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Gokul

[@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.

[@JoLXP]

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

[@Schaaf]

thanks

[@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!

[@557.vision]

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

[@TheCardi90]

Hello shaaf, the I have a bmw f 900 xr, and I would like to change it for a moto guzzi v100 Mandello standard version. You who have tried both, what do you recommend?

[@mariobianchi1909]

Can't wait the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio on your channel!!

[@Schaaf]

Will be a long wait lol

[@dmaxcustom]

The flaps on the side tank are awesome!

[@Schaaf]

indeed!

[@robertmifkovic6325]

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

[@MrRide77]

Looks fun!. Not sure if you do collabs or meet ups but it would be great to ride with you someday!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks!! I don't :)

[@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

[@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 👍

[@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 ;)

[@M7E9M]

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

[@Schaaf]

Adobe Premiere

[@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

[@Luckylohn]

schöner satter Klang - und sicher Leistung genug, so schauts jedenfalls aus 😊

[@Schaaf]

garantiert!

[@mrvwbug4423]

Yes you do

How do you like it compared to the BMW R1250RS?

[@michaeltelemachus5112]

Lovely bike.

[@Schaaf]

It sure is!

[@srhintz]

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

[@Schaaf]

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

[@leonardgeffe1831]

Thats a really beautiful bike. Im actually thinking of buying one at the moment. Comparisons and Reviews always compare it to other Guzzis and BMW Tourers so you always get relative assesments to them. So I might try to ask the person who has seemingly ridden them all and these half an hour test rides dont really cut it for me, because thats not enough time for me to get comfortable enough to ride a little more ambitioned and barely the time you need to get out of the city. It would really interest me how sporty it is compared to an BMW F900R (with the high Seat). Thats the bike I rode until earlier this year until I got into an accident and the only benchmark I have extensive knowledge of. That bike was really fun to me and sporty enough to entice some hooliganisch behaviour (good thing). I definitly want something else than a parallel twin and, if I find something good, with a little more wind protection on longer rides. So is it much less sporty than the BMW F900R? And if yes is it just the seating position wich one could change with a higher seat and/or lower bars? Or does it generally feel to "laid back" or like an "old mans bike"? Im also thinking about the Tuono V4 (non factory), though it has more power than I would like to give to myself (and insure). But its also beatiful and sounds so good. I guess here it is the opposite question. How much more uncomfortable is it to the F900R? I did a 6000km trip on it my BMW and it was okay. Would such things tendencially be worse on the Aprilia?

[@samdisen]

good vid, there is something about thoose motoguzzies
