How do you find the higher shield, does it provide significantly more wind protection? Congrats on the bike BTW. I was at AF1 this past Sat to test ride a V100.
 
So like many here it was love at first sight! Guzzi announced their new lust on wheels. I ordered one! I waiting patiently, sort of, and watched the months drag on. Then I got the call. She is here!

Love this new V100! Guzzi has done well with this one. The motor has some go. The suspension is fantastic. The brakes are great. She looks very nice and also she is very comfortable. Yes this is a honeymoon report but I think as I learn the bike I will only love her more!

Defected from Indian and moved over to Moto Guzzi yesterday. V100S . I'm told I'm the first person in NJ to pickup a v100 (other than one of the dealerships owner's who had to have one for himself) . This is my first Guzzi.

I came from an Indian Scout bobber, before that an Indian Chief Darkhorse (the "classic" almost 800lb version). Getting used to not having forward pegs and being able to actually lean it over without dragging various parts. A lot more comfortable than the scout bobber.

So what I've found so far is that it's deceptively quick. By that I mean I'll be zipping along and look down at the speedometer and realize just how much over the speed limit I'm going :clap: . You just don't notice it. It's effortless to ride and the balance is excellent. I'll probably get a taller wind screen as the wind hits me right at eye level with it raised. I do NOT need anymore HP. The V100 is plenty fast enough. You'll be doing 60 in a blink if you aren't careful. It's so nimble compared to my previous bikes it's not even funny.

Picked her up today! Love it, love it, love it. I agree with all the other reviews in the thread/forum: comfortable, plenty of umph, and dang sexy. The bike I am coming from is the Honda CTX 1300, a "transverse" V4, but they are worlds apart. I thought with the weighted counter shaft the Guzzi soul would be too smoothed out and it would be more Honda like. Not. The sound and feel of the rumble are indescribable, something an experienced Guzzisti may be familiar with. Reminded me of the LeMans I rode for an hour way back when. The windscreen (standard) is perfect with zero buffeting at 75mph and a nice pocket to sit behind when it is extended up (I am 5'10" with 30" inseam). I ride mostly with my face shield up too, and it is just right. I will definitely be doing some long trips on it. I need to get used to the shifting though, including shift points. I am used to up shifting at lower revs and the V100 likes a little higher revs, even with its ample torque. Control buttons etc are fine but I need to develop some muscle memory so they are 2nd nature. I rode some mild twisties and the bike seems really nimble and predictable...I cant wait to get on a more aggressive road, with no mud, sand or rocks (not used to all this rain we are having!) and see how it feels.

Hi, I am from Austria. Registered my v100 S a couple of weeks ago 000339. I rode her for the first time last Friday for around 200km. No loss of coolant or chipped paint so far. Just a problem with the connection between Mia and the Cardo headset. I installed Conti Road Attack 4, radiator protection, engine protection and grip puppies as extras.

Hi Tico, thanks for posting. I’ll take a guess at your full VIN# for the Registry.
Not many people replace new tires, but I have to say Conti’s Attack Series has been stellar, even though I’m more of a Dunlop guy. Congrats and enjoy!
 
I got mine today. VIN ZGUMGUA04PM000022

I traded my Niken GT for a red V100 Mandello in Mt Stirling, Kentucky. I took secondary roads up there on the Niken in sub-freezing temperatures this morning. Then I brought the new bike home on scenic and twisty roads with temperatures in the low 50s Fahrenheit.

There is nothing in the world better than riding a motorcycle on Appalachian roads in the Spring.

Picked her up Friday since someone balked on their pre-order. Going for the first ride tomorrow in the Smokies. That's two Guzzi's now, I may need help. I was going to go with a Ducati Super Sport so I could make the Aprila, Moto Guzzi, Ducati trifecta but I think I made the right call.

Nice!! Verde👍… I’m sure you’ll like it. Let us know your thoughts. I rode a white one, and was impressed. I currently have a ‘15 Norge and ‘06 Ducati ST3S … both will be traded in on a Verde like yours… as soon as it is made🧐. I’m order #542😁.
