Just got it firing!
Hi All,
I had been eyeing the V100 Mandello as a replacement for my 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 (Tracer, as it's now known). That is, until this weekend. I attended an MG demo event, and had the opportunity to ride the Mandello S and Stelvio back-to-back. Five minutes into riding the Stelvio I knew it was the one I wanted.
So, I find myself amongst you chaps, looking for insight into owning my first Guzzi. I get the feeling the owners, like these bikes, are a somewhat atypical, nuanced bunch, and I look forward to counting myself as one of you very soon!
Oh, a little about me is probably in order-
Male, 55, former mid-pack track-day enthusiast. Most of my riding nowadays is commuting and backroad scratching, occasionally riding 2-up.
Cheers,
Matt
