Some more information, not directly Guzzi sales pitch, in this YouTube Video

---

People have mentioned the suspension modes, but it doesn't look like the suspension is progressive. No linkage.

Great excuse to maintain it as your solo bike;)

Here's another review.

They look very nice.

Hoping for a nice day for a test ride from All Bikes in Rochdale, though it will be the Standard version test bike not the S



Apparently they will have a couple of white ones in shortly too.

What he says about the riding position is interesting. I wonder how it compares to the RS with R bars.

Very nice. Nice engine, excellent fuelling and relaxed but deceptively quick pick up. Good riding position. Feels much smaller than a 1000cc bike. Very flickable.
As a road bike I think it has a lot in common with a boxer - its real roads quick due to torque. Smaller frontal area than the RS. The price of extras is very reasonable too.

I must pop over to Frasers in Gloucester to have a look and try it out for size. They sell Suzuki as well, so need to check out the 1000GT thing as well.

Or I might procrastinate a bit more as there is not actually any reason to change other than "shiny pretty thing"

... surprising thing is the cost of options - its very reasonabkle to spec the bike up and the basic comes with cruise control, adaptive headlights, + configurable riding modes anyway. Seems well designed and executed.

The Suzuki has Transformer aesthetics - ie all sharp angles and bug eyed futuristic split piece fairings. The Guzzi is much more tradtional with a hark bacl to the LeMans with the seat up the tank. Most surprising thing is the cost of options - its very reasonabkle to spec the bike up and the basic comes with cruise control, adaptive headlights, + configurable riding modes anyway. Seems well designed and executed.

please buy one and carry out the beta testing - always a bit wary on a totally new design, hence my waiting to 2016 for the RS

To a degree, I have to agree with Mr. 36654. Moto Guzzis in general are extremely thin on the ground here, and the dealer support is minimal. Where I live, my closest dealer is 240 miles to the west or about the same to the east and overall, I believe the US has roughly one dealer per 3.3 million head of population. Having said that, those who support MG are True Believers, fierce followers and probably wouldn't have anything else.

There a near 100% probability that there's a V100 in my future, just not the first one or two model years.

My first Goose was a Le Mans, bought new before they introduced the II, III etc designations - which 'some idiot' sold - and I think the V100 may just be the one I've been waiting for, for so many years.
