Other Bikes » Moto Guzzi's active aerodynamic design

Moto Guzzi is teasing their new V100 Mandello model which is said to have an active aerodynamic design as described as follows and is shown in the included video clip: "the windscreen moves on its own from lowered to raised positions. Meanwhile, two panels on the sides of the fuel tank flare outwards, like the eagle on Moto Guzzi’s logo spreading its wings, altering the airflow around the half fairing." They have also designed a new engine to conform to the latest emission requirements and are building a new factory. Here is a link to the short article: https://www.motorcycle.com/new-model-pre...ew-factory.html

I'd be interested if their dealer network was larger across the US.

Same for me. I would check it out if there were more dealers.
Looks like BMW has about twice the number of dealers in the US and Canada.

This shows the Guzzi dealers in US and Canada.

Haven't checked lately, but the US Guzzi importer used to be in Lillington, NC. Was also a Ducati dealership.

Now that looks really nice ...

Like other Moto Guzzi models, the V100 Mandello uses a shaft drive, but it is unique in having the cardan shaft inside a single-sided swingarm.

I never noticed none of the Guzzis have a single sided swingarm.
I see the back wheel on the new bike has the large nut like Ducati that requires a special socket.

Nice looking bike, but I bet that special nut-removal tool is hard to come by and expensive, too. Although probably not as expensive as if was a BMW factory tool part.

The engine is the highlight. It takes many cues from the BMW K54. It has a modular design, liquid-cooling, multi-plate wet clutch, advanced engine management, left side swing arm, etc. It seems that a special edition is coming, also. It will feature Ohlins suspension and special anniversary paint. I like the look of it and look forward to the EICMA reveal.

Hopefully, it will be as superb as my two ‘07 Tontis. I still tour on those bikes. My buddy from Washington throws his Guzzi-Diag on them to check the TPS and fuel trim when he visits, but I do all the other maintenance. I think Guzzi holds on to that old notion of self-reliance in motorcycle riders…their bikes tend to be simple to work on.
