The beautiful 2022 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello

[Grumpy Goat]

GG, For what it's worth, when I had the Breva bike, it got better gas mileage in 5th gear than it did in 6th.  I got 300 miles on a tank once on that bike.

Likely due to the tuning of the bike and how efficiently it uses fuel at various speeds. I have found in many instances, and with the Tiger in particular, I have gotten better fuel mileage going faster and riding slightly more aggressively than when riding more gently / slowly. Weird. I noticed similarly with the Tracer, although not as significantly with that engine. Of course, after a certain point it diminishes as well. Maybe in 6th on the Breva the engine was running less efficiently than in 5th.

The Mandello in the video was new and was being ridden by various people at Revzilla so I guess from an averaging" standpoint, those would be real world figures, and could probably be improved. But I suspect that it would probably get worse mileage than the RS, which in my experience and for its engine size, is very fuel efficient.

On an additional side note about fuel economy ... on the Tiger, prior to my first 2-up road trip with Donna full loaded with luggage, I was getting around 46 mpg commuting (as is typical). Then on the 266-mile ride to the destination I managed to get 48 mpg average, and slightly less coming back 4 days later (so it was not a fluke).
