Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S Review

Used Buyer Review

The V100 Mandello S is genuinely unlike anything else you'll find used right now. That 1042cc twin with adaptive aerodynamics sounds mental on paper, but it actually works — the active winglets reduce fatigue on longer stints noticeably. The semi-active Öhlins suspension on the S trim is properly sorted, and the ride modes aren't just marketing fluff. Early examples had some software gremlins with the TFT and connectivity suite, so always check the service history for dealer updates before handing over cash. Here's the honest bit though — Guzzi dealers are patchy. If you're not within reasonable distance of a decent independent who knows the marque, ownership gets frustrating fast. Parts availability has improved but it's still not Honda territory. The shaft drive is bulletproof and maintenance costs are reasonable, but budget for that first major service if the previous owner skipped it. These aren't cheap bikes even used, and condition varies wildly because early adopters weren't always experienced riders.
