Wibble I always had a thing for the 350 imola, apart from the fact it was a 350!

Yes, I'd ride that.

Cute...and a shaftie!



woops....I will go and change my shorts.....

I'm interested in how the active aero works.... if it works and it's not just a gimmick.

It reminds me of a Honda CX500 Turbo.

I'm sure they'll paint it orange for you

I really like the V100 Mandello, and (funds permitting) could see it occupying a space in my life. But not the white one. I much prefer the green or red versions debuted earlier in the year. It looks an ideal mixture of classic Guzzi style with modern technology and engine internals.

This was my dream bike 40 years ago. So you can see why the mandello stirs my loins

Guzzi's are R series BMW's with perkier tits.

And shaved bits...

Nah not for me………..each to their own

Looks like a Transalp

About as exciting and fast as a Mondeo.

I feel like I have a bit of a rough Essex bird in the garage and people are talking about how hot Penelope Keith is.

Don't like it, still waiting for them to do a Mk1 Le Mans replica, which might be poular although not sure the state of peoples backs who remember the original. They could get rid of the heavy throttle if they do.

I still can't cope with the 90' turned cylinder heads.

I didn't notice when they first launched this engine, but now I can't unsee it.

I like it. If it has decent luggage available to fit it would be a nice touring option. (It's about 100 times better than the other eyesore that was a 'surprise highlight' of a bike show that was posted recently). Not a fan of white but it doesn't look bad at all.

That small panel directly above the Guzzi logo on the tank (where it's red) is an active aero wing, depending on speed and rider mode selected they fold out (along with the screen moving up and down).

I'm yet to see them in action. Maybe I should search youtube.

Ideal for the shitty weather up here I suppose, great for commuting. It would be easy to keep clean as it looks like you can get into every part of it easily enough.
