First impressions of the V100

[Jamieee]

I took the V100 for a quick ride through the heart of Rome, as an "old Aprilia V-twin guy," it felt like home with the quick rpm response, strong torque, and super nimble in traffic, and yeah the suspension's a bit harsh on potholes, but overall, a great and fun ride.

New to Guzzi with a V85TT and the V100's caught my eye. Really curious about the new exhaust routing, definitely a change from the usual layout. Can't wait to see one in person and get a ride in.

Yeah, the exhaust routing on the V100 is different from the usual Guzzi style, it gives it a fresh, modern feel and the V85TT is an amazing ride too, you'll love the V100

Awesome! Did you feel the V100 handles better than your old Aprilia in tight spots? Would you tweak the suspension, or is it a fair trade-off for the sporty feel?

Yeah, the V100 handles tight spots better, super nimble, the suspension is a bit stiff, but it adds to the sporty feel...I might tweak it later, but it's fun overall

I too have a v100. Removed the Cat and subsequent throttle response was seriously sharper. Fortunately in NZ we arnt plagued by all the crap European emissions nonsense! Paul. Tauranga New Zealand
