    Worthless V100 tire thread

    Yes I noticed that. The Pirelli website also recommends Diablo Rosso IV for the V100. I doubt they are heavy duty tyres.

    Worthless V100 tire thread

    My Pirelli Angel GT2 rear tyre has the A marked on it, denoting the version for heavy bikes. Did everyone's V100 come with this version or do some of you have the standard tyre? I'm wondering if the stiffer sidewall on the A version adds to the harsh feel of the rear suspension and am...

    Moto Guzzi V100 OEM Tinted Windscreen

    Tinted screens are standard on the Mandello here in Europe. I suppose it's all about regulations in different countries. The Aussies get the clear ones as standard as well.

    The press is always so critical...

    I get exhausted listening to that guy, he's so hyper. Maybe he'll relax after a long ride on the Mandello.

    V100 Registry and Pic Thread

    Ready for winter. I've just fitted my old Barkbuster Blizzard semi-rigid bar muffs, as the factory heated grips don't get warm enough. I've had heated BMW grips and Oxford ones, both of which gave out more heat. The Barkbusters fit, but there's not much clearance between them and the windscreen...

    V100 Mods thread

    I've not seen that little top box before. I like it, but it seems expensive. Usual story for motorbike stuff :(

    Rear Indicator V100

    Size difference is probably based on relevant legislation in different parts of the world.

    usb install

    Thank you to everyone for the information on this. Being a cheapskate, I decided to follow Jan's suggestion of relocating the USB connector from under the seat, rather than buy an additional unit. That was complicated by the fact that I had to remove my Hepco & Becker luggage rack and panier...

    Garmin zumo xt mount

    It's good to know this, as I thought I read the USB port on the V100 supplied 1.5A, but that the Zumo XT needed to draw a higher amount. At the moment, I'm just using my Zumo on battery, but maybe I'll buy the USB connector for the cockpit. The one under the seat isn't very convenient for...

    V100 Mods thread

    Hello Katie. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the taller screen. I'm thinking of getting one for winter, more for the extra width, rather than height.

    TMI?

    I shouldn't think so; I have neither of those on the bike.

    TMI?

    I've only had my Mandello for a couple of weeks and am still getting used to it. There is a lot of information on the TFT screen. Yesterday, I noticed there are TWO green Ns to indicate neutral. Anyone know why one isn't sufficient? I haven't seen this discussed here before, but apologies if it...

    V100 Registry and Pic Thread

    Do good things come to those who wait? Well, I've just received my new V100 that I ordered in March, although I've been wanting one since the end of 2021, which is when I thought they were due to be launched. I've got the heated grips, the quickshifter, centre stand and engine bars on it...

    Moto Guzzi V100 Review & First Impressions

    I had a test ride on the base v100 this week and the suspension was the only disappointment, although I'm sure with time the settings can be adjusted to suit. The preload adjuster knob on the rear is handy, but I couldn't see how to adjust the damping on it.

    Early V7 Radial Tire Thread

    I've been looking into getting some Conti RA3s recently and the rear tyre seems to be unavailable from the four or five suppliers I've checked in France and the UK. The only other radial I can find in front and rear sizes for the V7 is the Bridgestone Battlax A41 that someone mentioned here, but...

    V100 Mandello Chat - H20

    This looks like a decent real-world bike to me, unlike a lot of new offerings from manufacturers that focus on edgy design and discard the practicalities. I like the single-sided swingarm with gold wheels. Sounded pretty good in the video, too. Subject to price and satisfactory test ride, I'd...

    2021 V9 B/R Updated with V85 engine

    Evolution is good if you have a popular model, but these V9s don't seem to have ever been popular. The engine may be an improvement, but I think most people would be just as happy with a V7 if the V9 didn't exist. I hope we'll see something more exciting from Moto Guzzi later in this centenary...

    V7 III - brutal pinging during hot weather

    The only metal starter motor cover I have seen is made by Baak motorcycles in France.

    V7 III - Has arrived

    I had a quick test ride on the new V7 III Special on Saturday and concur with the points above; a number of improvements over my 2013 Stone. I'd already ridden the V7 II in Mandello, so was familiar with those changes (6 speed box/ ergonomics), so was mainly interested in the engine and...

    Early V7 Radial Tire Thread

    I've got the Conti Road Attack 2 radials on my V7 Stone and prefer them to the other two brands I've had (non-radials). The ride quality is good. I plan to go a size wider to 110 on the front tyre when it needs replacing, as the 100 section Conti tyre is narrower than the Pirelli Sport Demon...
