After buying my first MG a v100s my M1000xr bmw is for sale. Bmw is superb and suuuper fast but just does it too easily. With the v100s its so much more rewarding to engage with the bike where it feels like a 2 way partnership .
The M's are amazing precision machines, my M1000R is the same way. I would not sell it at the moment but yes 100% agree that the Guzzi is very rewarding to ride.
I got my V100 about a year ago and I absolutely love it. There is something with this engine that is unique and so joyful. So is all the rest of this bike. Surely not a sport hyper performance bike, but this definitively not what it is about. I usually don’t keep my bikes more than a year or two, but this one will not leave my garage before long long... never 😉
Ha! I also just came up on my 1 year anniversary, and like you, I change bikes rather frequently but I don't see this one leaving anytime soon, besides the fact that i tailored it at this point exactly to my liking. Not a true sport bike per say but definitely can hang with most of them, ask me how I know ... ;)
My Navale is my third MG. When it became available I traded my T120 for it and haven't looked back. I am back to a Guzzi only garage. The Navale shares it with a V7 Special.
Oh wow, greetings from Texas! Japan is still on my travel bucket list to visit. How much of a Moto Guzzi presence is there in Japan? I saw a few sweet V7 videos from Japan. Congrats on the V100, you are going to love it !😍
@@ThatGermanFella V100 is in my garage now. It's cool! My previous Moto Guzzi was V7 Ⅱracer. Here in Japan, Moto guzzi is not seen much I think. You can enjoy Japan, please come and visit☺. I 've lived in Dallas for one year in 1990. It brings back so many memories.
Nein, das sind die headers von Agostini und der Auspuff von MiiV. Weiss nicht ob das in Deutschland zulāssig ist aber ich habe ein paar euro V100’s mit den Agostini gesehen.
Can you elaborate? 1st service is at 900mi vs 600mi on all other major manufactures, next service is not due until at 7500mi and valve clearance check not until 15000 mi. That is on par or actually less than other major OEM's. You also don't have any frequent chain mx, as you have a shaft drive that is virtually mx free. Having owned a V85, V7 and now the V100 I can attest that in general Moto Guzzi's are very reliable minus some little nags that I also have seen on other OEM's. Of all the bikes I owned so far, Triumph has had the most frequent visits to the dealer for scheduled and un-scheduled mx.
@@MechanizedMedic valve adjustement every 1000km......probly over 1000$ everytimes.....no thanks yamaha every 40 000km....... by the times you hit 40 000$ you have spend alone on the valve over 5000$....on the v85.....selvio is at every 10 000 miles.....for a touring is very low

The "M" in Moto Guzzi is for "magical." All the bikes I have owned have been great, and the V85TT is truly special.
Well said, 100% agree.
"when you take the Guzzi for a ride, all is forgiven." just like a relationship 😂
kinda ... lol

I'm loving my V100 with 5800 miles on it. We've been getting a lot of rain in central NY this spring but thats almost over 😊
Same here in Texas, had a lot of rain, it is finally drying up, so hopefully more time to ride!
Beautiful, now I wish one in my garage. Thanks
Go for it! … ;)

V7 is a great bike! So easy to get on with it, I do miss mine, one day I shall have another one … :)
V100 will come to my garage today! I'm very looking forward to it☺. Here in Japan, Good season to ride.

@@kentoji973 Enjoy the V100, a nice step up and looks like you will be rather unique riding that bike in Japan!
If I had room & could afford 2-3bikes Motoguzzi V7 with slip on's be awesome so would V1 or the 850 ADV.
IKR! so many great bike choices out there at the moment ... it is very addictive ... ;)
Ist die Abgasanlage stock? Is that the standard exhaust? Danke Dir

do you routinely make up nonsense like this or just this time?

@@sebg2086 lol
Best kept secret. Guzzi's are for cheapskates. It's easy to do all the maintenance yourself, at least on the air-cooled bikes.
