The beautiful 2022 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello

[Grumpy Goat]

Daily Rider video from one of my favourite moto journalists, Zack Courts from Revzilla. Only down-side is that it is the base non-S model. Still none at the dealer here in Houston for me to go see / possibly ride. 

Some points of note:

• A little heavy coming off the kickstand and around town, although the chassis is well-balanced
  
• Wind protection is "perfect" as in balanced (he is 6'-2")
  
• Active winglet effect is very subtle (read can't tell a difference) and is a gimmick
  
• Top 3 gear ratios are close to each other; maybe not the best use of the engine's abundant torque for touring
  
• Suspension is a bit harsh on the base model; S model may be better
  
• Tracer 9 GT is more exciting but they have very different approaches to sport touring
