Result

The new V100 from Moto Guzzi is a very well-equipped sports tourer with many strengths and few weaknesses. It is beguilingly beautiful and fortunately has not lost the typical Guzzi character despite all the changes. Guzzi's model policy is understandable: If you like it more puristic, take the V100. If you want the full Tec hut including semi-active Öhlins suspension, smartphone Gedaddel and QuichShifter, opt for the V100S. No matter which version you choose: The V100 owner can expect a great bike with lots of riding fun!
 
The test machine was provided by Moto Italia. Here the Moto Guzzi V100 stands as a demonstrator and is happy about test riders. Then it is best to drive north-west towards Holstein Switzerland - there are a lot of curves here and also the motorway chase over the A20 is possible. At Moto Italia (the name says it all) there are also other Italian beauties from Aprilia, Vespa and Piaggio. Just drop by...
