Pros and Cons in comparison

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello 2026

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello 2026

The cheaper alternative to the V100 S has many of the good features of its luxury sister and comes with the visually more interesting rims. A successful sports tourer that stands out from the crowd without showing Italian capers. The suspension is too tight for a touring bike, but otherwise it is hard to find a fly in the ointment.

Confident V2 powerplant with typical Guzzi vibrations

excellent Brembo brakes

comfortable seating position

electrically adjustable windshield

unique flaps for weather protection of the centre of the body

good handling

classy look.

Chassis tuning too tight for a touring motorbike

high heat generation in city mode
