On the other hand, the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023 has its own set of strengths. One notable feature is its confident V2 powerplant, which is characteristic of Guzzi motorcycles. This engine delivers a similar power output of 115 HP but offers a higher torque of 105 Nm, providing a unique riding experience with typical Guzzi vibrations. The Mandello S is equipped with excellent Brembo brakes, ensuring reliable and efficient stopping power. The seating position is also comfortable, allowing for long rides without discomfort. Additionally, the electrically adjustable windshield and unique flaps for weather protection of the center of the body enhance the overall riding experience.

Lastly, the classy look of the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S is another advantage that sets it apart.

However, both motorcycles have their weaknesses as well. The Yamaha Tracer 900 2018 is limited by its pillion seat rest system, which restricts the freedom of movement for the passenger. Additionally, the display of the Tracer 900 may appear outdated compared to newer models. Furthermore, the ABS and traction control systems are only available at a basic level, which may be a drawback for riders seeking advanced safety features.

Yamaha's sporty all-purpose weapon has been further improved. It is the perfect bike for all those for whom the naked MT-09 is too spartanly designed for sporty country road riding. Thanks to the longer swingarm and better aerodynamics, the 2018 model also largely eliminates the high-speed problems that its predecessor had to contend with. The premium version in the form of the Tracer 900 GT goes one better and can also convince with great comfort features.

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S 2023

Moto Guzzi does not want to push the V100 Mandello S into the sports tourer segment and speaks of a roadster suitable for touring - and in fact it is more of a naked bike in terms of its pleasant seating position and agile handling, which conveys a surprising amount of touring character with its electrically adjustable windshield! The unique flaps are probably only noticeable at very low temperatures, but the engine perfectly matches the sovereign appearance and the brakes are brilliantly tuned. Finally, the S version pampers with a standard quickshifter including blipper, heated grips, MIA communication system, tyre pressure control and the electronically adjustable Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension. Asking for just under 20,000 euros for this may therefore only seem hefty at first glance.
