New Moto Guzzi V100

[Gone in 60]

Just watched the video - very cool drone footage, but one scene sorta makes me feel like I'm going to lose control on this bike and shoot off into a lake. The final sequence is unique... "I'm going to park on a helicopter landing pad and wait for an eagle to land on me."

I dig the frequent bird-of-prey sound effects, but they reminded me of 1980s era Buick Skyhawk commercials.

Too judgy?

Look what Triumph just dropped, does that not remind you of Rox's Le Mans a couple of posts up?

Ahhh, now it makes sense. A few weeks ago, I stopped off at the Triumph dealership to see what the new Trident looks like. They didn't have one, but the salesman said that I should come back soon to see something really cool that was coming out.

Yeah, nice lookin' tic-tac. To be a lean teenager again. (*sigh*)

Reminds me of a 2006 Yamaha FZ-1

I can understand a need for a small fairing in a bike like this, it's a lot of performance for a naked bike and sustained high speed can be very fatiguing if nowhere to tuck into. For some reason speed and street triples that I've had a chance to spend time with both had a tendency to become very turbulent at around 120mph.

And sure, it does have that air of big nakeds with bikini fairings, like a Bandit 1250 or a TL1000 or a VTR1000, very few exist nowadays, my mind goes to Aprilia Tuono, or r1250rs

Yes, my poor old bones wouldn't last on that type of bike, clip-ons are not for me anymore. I can just about get away with the Daytona for a day with my converted LSL Superbike bars.

More good comparisons, forgot about the TL1000, the V-Strom motor donator.

I actually like that bike a lot, very easy to ride, lots and lots of grunt. Had a chance a few years back to spend a little time with a Cagiva Raptor that has the same engine, it was just as fun to ride, maybe even a little more

The Raptor was a great bike at the time.

The new Triumph needs to be seen from a different angle to get a better idea of its beauty. Bikes should have round headlamps:



Oh, and just with reference to the question earlier about the exhaust, the engine is a triple not a twin.

Local Guzzi dealer just got three V100's in, they do exist. These are their pics, looks well in white.

Sweet, sweet, sweet Tev.

Has got to be one of the best lookin' street bikes seen by anyone in many years.
