V100 Registry and Pic Thread

Here is my V100 Mandello S sans rear wheel due to a nail in the tire. Bike is awesome. Should be rolling again this weekend when my tire comes in.

VIN ZGUNGUB09PM000127 Picked it up April 1....... no fooling. Freehold, NJ

Well, put it behind you… start the clock again once the new tire is fitted👍😁. Sweet bike🙌.
 
Rode with some buddies today… across 222 in Ohio, and down to the Augusta KY ferry. Rode backroads (8, 19, 165, 62) to Cynthiana for lunch at Bianchi’s. Then backroads north to Cincinnati. A good day, about 175 miles. I had my white Norge, scuffing in a new set of Pilot Road 6 GT, with fresh oil and new rear brake pads. Running like a champ. So - I was delighted that “Rick” joined us, as he has a new black and gray V100S - among the first delivered last month at Cadre in Cincinnati. Since I have an order in for the V100S, Verde, I positioned myself behind him to get an idea of the rear lighting. I’ll say the indicators are plenty bright, as is the brake light (it does catch the eye when it comes on👍). Rick said he’s getting used to it after his FJR, which had its own pros and cons, comparatively. He says the V100S has great acceleration and handling, but (as others have mentioned), a little clunky going into 1st and 2nd. My Norge does the same. He has not experienced any coolant leaks. Here are some pics - from the ferry ride, and my scuffed in rear tire when I got home - “almost” to the edge😂. Love those KY roads👍. Too bad I can’t upload vids - a buddy from Indiana met us in Augusta for the KY portion of the ride, and was waiting for the ferry, and got a clip of us exiting the ferry. Great day for a bunch of retired geezers!

Sounds like a perfect day of riding, buddies and food. That is almost the most important stuff in life :) Like you, I also have a Verde on order, mine is supposed to land in early May. I'm going from a 2019 BMW R1250RT to the Verde. BMW has always had clunky first and second gear shift, so it will be nothing new. Stay safe.
 
Picked up ZGUMGUB04PM000097 a couple days ago. Loving it so far. (only 80 miles on the clock, so,...)

Comments and first impressions? A

Good points?

Fueling seems spot on.

Handling VERY responsive.

Way more power than I'll ever use (except in moments of "temptation..." ;)

Beau coups options on the computer interface re: drive modes, displays, connectivity, etc.

TPMS on board will be a nice feature (note: it takes a couple miles/a couple minutes to sync up, so a TPMS flashing warning ALWAYS shows up on start up. Suggest manually check pressures before launch.)

Tons of braking ability.

More impressions to come, as time goes on.

On my 22 V85 Travel, the TPMS seems to figure itself out faster if I don't move immediately on power on (key on, not just sitting idling). If I start the bike and leave right away it might take 10 minutes or more to register both wheels.
 
I was surprised to find it there. Maybe it's specific to the Travel model? Unless that's what you have as well

Congrats and thanks for posting your info and pic Mack. Look forward to digging into one of these sooner than later for power gains. Sure there's a ton hidden in it. Hope to see you here often.
