This is a great review! I don't think anyone has been less than ecstatic about this bike but you put it across beautifully.

Note to dealers: don't blow it! This is an amazing bike....so please provide amazing service!

Mr. TAYM, Thanks so much for test riding this machine, many other reviewers focus on spec sheets and your reviews focus on the senses, which is what riding is all about if you ask me. This bike is dead sexy, the Italians really know how to style a bike. This appears to be the ideal sport tourer. It has looks, power, gadgets, comfort(certainly in the S trim), handles well, shaft drive, and character. I think I'll have to wait for a year or two for a couple of reasons. 1) It's a new bike and needs some time for Guzzi to work out any kinks. 2) Just bought another new bike this last August and need some time to replenish the account with my wife. Thanks again!

Great video review and in icy, poor conditions too. I was lusting for this bike as soon as I saw the release videos and very positive reviews. Test rode one on a variety of roads and immediately fell in love. Bought a red one they had at the dealership in Nottingham straight away with panniers, top box and engine protectors. What a bike! Agree with everything you said, such good looks, quality and fantastic handling.

What a Magnificent Splendiferous Marvelous Motoguzzi.

Those pipes really do set up the engine. And it also helps pack in radiator so it actually looks like it belongs on the bike. 😎

A splendid review! I love your enthousiasm!

Great review you and Michael Neeves covered it very well thanks

Very nice looking machine😍 Will check out some more reviews of this bike that’s for sure! Absolutely beautiful!

“Lots of controls for changing stuff”. Beautiful. I really enjoyed your review, you have a very entertaining delivery. I’ve subscribed.

I have a 2018 V7III Milano. Love it more than I can say. Feels great, smells great, looks great, goes great! The one motorcycle I will never part with. My son gets it when I'm too old and feeble to ride. It was my first motorcycle after 41 years of not riding. Ha, I really like my Enfields, but that MG is outstanding!!! I'll stop now 😂

Your “cracking” a couple of really interesting bikes recently to review. BSA now The Guzzi. Good stuff . Great reviews.

That is a very elegant bike, with plenty of V twin stomp. Marvellous or even Splendiferous!

Flippin' gorgeous, I'd love one of those

I got the impression you was riding a 'transformer, robot in disguise' It looks so unique and the eye watering price tag is going to make sure they are unique. Thanks for the ride out it is a lovely machine.

Nice one TAYM, Gorgeous looking bike....

All those road works and traffic lights, I thought I was watching an icedidi video.🤣 Great review, I’m really tempted with this one. I think I’ll wait for the weather to warm up a bit before I book a test ride. 🙂

Owned quite a few bikes over the years (65 at the last count) never owned an Italian bike to my shame I think Im going to make the effort to get to Mototechniks when the weather improves to have ago, might even invite Richie 😂

Exceptional, real world motorcycle

Ooooooh Lovely!!

I have always liked Guzzi’s, quite fancied a V50 Monza back in the day, never got one though 🙄. I like the look of that, except that dustbin on the side. I know all big bikes have this style of exhaust nowadays, but why, when something slicker would do the same job. Other than that, if I won the lotto, I would have one. That exhaust note made me giggle with you. Great review in somewhat s****y conditions. Thanks Mr TAYM.

Outstanding review! It seems that all Italian motorcycles are rolling pieces of sculpture. Moto Guzzi, Ducati, Aprilia, MZ Augusta, and even Vespa are like that. Just beautiful.

Well this is a rabbit out of the hat, what a bike to test drive. Of all the new bikes that have come out recently, this one looks the most exciting prospect. The price is a bit eye watering but you sometimes have to pay a premium for a special bike. The changes to the new T120 put me off a bit from that bike but this one is something new and exciting, great review 👍

What a fandabbydocious piece of machinery 👍🔥

Am not too keen on the looks compared to the other Guzzis. Wouldnt kick it out of bed though😄. You and Ian Hughes out reviewing bikes in winter, great stuff.

Great to see a new bike from Guzzi. It sounds like the engine makes a whining noise. I had a '79 le mans l and '84 le mans lll, wonderful bikes. I'd prefer one of them to this but they would probably cost more than this bike.

Last year (2021), I started bird-dawgin this Italian beauty. In September 2022, I gave Plano, Texas USA Moto Guzzi a $500 deposit. Early in the morning of 10/17/2022, on the Moto Guzzi USA web store, I entered my online “reservation” for the 2023 V100 Mandello “S” in “Centenario” Livery (premium Verde 2121 color) - Special Edition $17,490. The customer care representative told me my Order# 190 was the 1st V100 Mandello order received by Moto Guzzi USA. I’m SUPER EXCITED! To me, the V100 Mandello is STUNNINGLY EXOTIC & HANDSOME!

Heh what a lovely bike that is !! Great Review Bloody cold out there 🥶 well done on that one too marvelous 😍 Still not caught up on all the videos with being in wales but bloody heavy dose of flu 😷 since Tuesday still not right 😮 Yes Guzzi really nice 😊 😊😊

Great video! Great bike! ( Chopsy liked it too) Just as well Biggles is ready for that winter weather! I'm sure someone has mentioned it but the Mandello's tft screen is almost identical to the GSXS1000GT you reviewed late last year. ( great bike)

Very nice looking machine. 👍

As a past owner strada750 1980s model ...2008 breva 1100 bought new... love a guzzi need a test ride ...👌

Well TAYM I think we have a diamond here this could be bike of the year 2023 I like it a whole lot to rich for my blood but oh how I would like to have one , and I am not a Moto Guzzi aficionado either ,I have only ever ridden an 850 T3 and a Californian and that was eons ago on a short test ride . Like it !!😉👌

Looks like they have put a lot into this one like the look of it 👍👍

Another great review. Sounds outstanding and looks like a storm trooper from star wars 🛸🔫😆😅🤣😂. To be honest I didn't really like the look of it but it grew on me and yea it looks pretty cool

22% wind deflection is alot & those stats be accurate as Motoguzzi is the motorcycle company to have a wind tunnel for testing. Get one TAYM for the garage but your biggest senses test will be Mrs TAYM😁😆😂🤣.

That V-twin swing wing Guzzi is a bike and a half! I don't even like adventure tourers, but I could do with one of those. It doesn't have that beak at the front that so many adventure bikes have and it looks and sounds so good. The winglets are a bit of a gimmick; if they close below 30mph, why even bother closing at all? In reality though, for my riding conditions all I need is a bike, not a bike and a half. I don't think that I could use the power in the city or the country without losing my life or my licence. And Silver Spectre sounds almost as good....

Is the seating position leaned forward? How would it be to tour on? The dash printing looks a little small, and hard to read?

Having done a test ride to day I am sold on the V100 Mandello. The bike does all that Guzzi claim, the mid range torque is so good it feels like you could survive with a three speed gearbox ( but would you want too ?). Brakes are very good with plenty of feel and the steering is quick, the riding position is superb with a seat that seems comfortable for long journeys ( did about 50 miles ). In the short time that I had the bike I seemed to be random selecting the electronic functions, the thing seems to have more functions than the Boeing 737 flight management system ! , clearly a bit of training would be required to get the best from the electronics but even on my short ride the difference between sport, road and touring modes was clear with the touring mode seeming to offer the most on fast A roads. I had considered the adaptive aerodynamics as a bit of a gimmick but was surprised to find that in the 9 c temperatures the difference was marked on the legs and beer gut. Anyhow I agree with most of what this review says but I was lucky enough to have mostly dry roads to ride on and pushed the bike a lot further in the corners , the bike performed faultlessly on the twisty bits and this was what finally convinced me it was time to reach for the credit card. Past experience has shown me that base model suspension is built down to a price and despite working well for the first few years of ownership the performance falls off after a while so I ordered the S version and get all the toys my guess is this is likely to save money in the long run. The dealer is expecting delivery in about three weeks, the time due to the accessories I have ordered.

Come on TAYM do cadge a ride on the S version and tell us what you think of that. I'd like a spin on one of these but I'm keeping the V7 Special, can't part with it.

Beautiful bike but I just wish they hadn't fitted the exhaust down pipes with metalic half circumference covers held on by a couple of jubilee clips and a screw and the front mudguard wasn't so short (demo bike covered with mud up the rad and engine) but hopefully there will be an after market product

Now you've done it....really put the ferret down the hole. Guzzi took a leap with the CARC bikes and now it seems they've done it again, I'm in trouble methinks........

Love your enthusiasm. It looks to be an awesome bike. Just one thing, re' the styling, it really doesn't look that much like a LeMans, (definitely not like my Mk2 for example) or any other Mk. To me it's more of a modern (twin cylinder) version of a Morbidelli V8.

Oh the cold. Don't know how you guys do it. Guess I'm spoiled being a Florida guy. We do have cold wet days, but nothing like what you deal with i know. What bike is Biggles? I know that's what you rode in on,. but didn't see it. So I'm assuming that it rides like a sport bike yes? I mean the seating position. Sounds good,like a Guzzi should. Thanks for the ride ✌️ Ah, now I see Biggles. A triple. Not my cup of tea ☕.

I had a biggles for 18 months, good bike but it lacked something 🤔 hence the 1050 v-strom. Love Guzzi's, had a couple in the past and funnily the stats for the mandello and the strom are very similar! Must give the V100 a try.....shaft drive, lovely..

A fine looking machine . But the seat to footpeg dimension looks short . Modern Guzzis seem to be built this way , (with the exception of the V85 TT) it makes long distance rides very uncomfortable for some of us . But the rest of the bike is gorgeous and the engine seems a corker . Well done Moto Guzzi ! 😍

What a great review of this enthralling motorcycle 👍 I noticed you refrained yourself from saying Splendiferous a couple of times untill we got to the senses. You were itching to say it, I know you were but perhaps past criticism led you to be overly cautious. I've had my eye on this one since it was first conceived and although we've had as long a wait as the BSA I feel Moto Guzzi were making sure everything was spot on. They waited till they had bikes putting rubber on showroom floors, I'm sure now they'll fly out the doors. I have an even tougher dilemma than yourself as to afford one I'd need to let either the ZZR go or both the KTM and the Vulcan. Mrs Wolf would never allow the ZZR to go, nor would I but I'm not getting any younger. She's also grown to like the KTM rather a lot and it's certainly more suited to winter roads. Poor Biggles being sat next to his possible replacement 😔 I guess the final decision will be down to Mrs TAYM and the Rocket is an awesome bike. Perhaps though the V100 is the more practical/ manageable choice 🤔😀

Lovely looking bike but I’d be inclined to have crash bars fitted. God forbid if it should fall over those nice looking exhaust pipes would take the brunt. Great video 👍

Still waiting for my V100S. My dealer hasn't even got the demonstrator in yet.

It’s a flying beautiful splendiferous lady!Original and not a copy. I’ve had a triumph for seven years and they are losing street cred👍

Biggles looks very, very worried😮!!

I thought I was watching an episode of street hawk 🏍️ for a moment 😜😂 lovely bike. The easy option is for you to buy a motorbike dealer, then you can own them all 😁😁

Love it! And your review isn’t too bad. 😂 Despite the obvious! 😡😂

Another Scoop, TMF choking on his cornflakes Uncle Stu polishing the paint off the Classic. What next, a audience with Harry and Meghan 😂😂😂

JD vs Kamela debate... PLEASE..... LOL......

SHOULD HAVE RAISED THE WINDSCREEN FIRST THING IN THAT WEATHER

I'm so in love with this bike. Ever since they unveiled it, it's been living in my head. I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford one, but....I'll be back if I do. :D

Pull the trigger, you're gonna die, maybe not soon, Mrs TAYM loves you soooo much she would want you to have a bike almost as splendifferous as her !!! 💖🍕

Hi all year motorcyclist, I no you like this bike but it's the most uglyist bike I have ever seen and would not have one ever soŕry but that's what I think of it not every one does

Lovely but not sure about the exhaust down pipes coming out the side of the head..

Ultima guzzi
