@bronzestarvue, yes, in that video, the Mistral slip on was the only change. The pops were still there. The baffle was still in. I meant to take the baffle out and do another video but never got around to do it. I got the Agostini Ice Grey exhaust. Liked the look much better. Sound was almost the same as stock and the Mistral. I haven't attempted to remove the baffle on the Agostini. I'm at 16,000 miles now 19 months since taking delivery. But I also put around 25k miles per year on my truck and another 10k to 15k per year on my other bikes. Congrats on ordering the 2024 Aviazione. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Let me rephrase. My hands don't get tired. I just dislike the thick grips. Every time I ride a different bike with thinner grips, I much prefer the thinner ones.

OMG! Is it really you? I was thinking about you and Gus as I rode around today. It's been almost 20 years ago that I met you guys. Y'all showed many of the roads that I now share with others.

@@BenManrriquez Yup its me. Still out there riding. Glad to see you’re well and still riding. As a matter of fact I’m also planning another trip and heading to the Barber m/c museum soon. Please let me know next time you’re headed this way. Be great to meet up again. Take care. Vit.

@dpaquin58, just personal preference for top cases and not for side cases. I've had top cases on a Ducati Hypermotard and Hyperstrada. I had the side cases, but never used them. Makes my butt look big. 🤣

@@BenManrriquez hahaha

@AB505, I decided on the Agostini for best looking and similar sound as stock or Mistral.

@@BenManrriquez thanks for letting me know!! I wish the sound was more of an upgrade :)

@andybrough1035, yea..... there are none. One of my few disappointments of the bike. It does not have hazard lights. There are some that supposedly activate during hard braking. But none othere than that.

@giacomomini1851, It will be a tight fit. I'm only 5'6 and it fits me perfectly. The only way to find out is to go test ride one. I'm lucky that AF1 is only 160 miles away from my home. I was there 3 weeks ago. They several demos available including the V100. I test rode a 2024 Speed White Tuono.... very nice.

there's a cat coverter there would be no difference.... du

@kaveiros75, I felt no performance gains. No difference in HP, torque, or throttle response. Only adds a bit more noise. The weight loss is not significant as the stock exhaust is already very light. I felt no change to balance. The bike feels the same with slightly more noise. Which I'm ok with for now until someone comes up with a cat delete option.

@AyoHues, you know what... I didn't even sit on the Pikes Peak. 😱 I'm due for another ride with this guy. I'll be sure to sit on it so I can compare.

@@BenManrriquez Thanks Ben. Loving your update vids. Many happy miles! ☺️

@Karl-dn9el, I have found that by tilting the nozzle rearward and inserting it all the way, it stays on and I get no splash as compared to inserting it forward or straight down. In this position, I can even pull the trigger at the highest flow rate with no splash. I've actually had other motorcycles that are way more finicky than this and no matter what angle I point the nozzle in, it splashes or turns off. Could just be your local gas station nozzles. Where are you located? They do vary for us from gas station to gas station in Texas. But I've mostly had good success with the rearward tilting. Hope it begins to work better for you.

I know mv has improved but I kinda have trust issues. Fortunately I will be able to try them in few weeks, but yeah, is 800 mv engine safe now, or should it only be considered as a second bike. Also have you had any reliability issues with either mv or moto guzzi. :) They look both awesome

Also, for the gold wheels, my retailer told me it was 100% doable to swap with white or red gold wheels the S black model. As people who buy red or white non S want black wheels, and people buying green S model want gold wheels xD That said the black/grey S really nail the black rims. ;)

@thomasbouvier3203: I test rode a 2020 MV TV when I got my 2019 Brutale RC. I liked it. But, the triple engine took some time to get up to speed. You really have to rev the engine to get the power out of it. The V100 has power everywhere. I can take off in 2nd through 4th gears and keep that gear to a high speed. I've never ridden a monster. The latest Monster SP looks nice though. I've ridden 2 RS 660's and a Ducati V2. Both are similar. Being smaller displacement, you have to ring their necks to get the power.

@thomasbouvier3203, the latest 800's are fine. My 2019 Brutale RC rides great. I'm at 10,500 miles with no engine issues.

@thomasbouvier3203, yes, I purchased the gold wheels separately. I got them put on 3 weeks ago. I tried to swap with another new owner, but the cost at the dealer was going to be more than what I was willing to pay. Instead, I purchased the gold wheels and that way I get to keep the black wheels as spares. I'm at 7,200 miles now.

@kevinbelter7934, Well, since I'm new to the brand, I wouldn't say greatest achievement just yet. But it is a huge advancement. And, of course, it helps that much of the technology that went into the V100 has trickled down from Piaggio Group. It's a beautiful, well-rounded bike. I'm loving it!

@sfzx54, sorry. Just now saw this. Full update coming. Been distracted lately. I'm at 5,400 miles as of today, Sunday, June 25. Thought I had a oil leak. But it was just loose nuts. Tightened them up and it's fine now. I did lose a screw from the silver header cover. Replaced it with M6 bolt from Ace Hardware. Drove to AF1 yesterday to pick up my gold wheels that finally arrived. As others have complained, the Angel GT II tires cause wobble on these new longitudinally grooved paved roads. For me it's most noticeable starting at 70 mph on up. I don't ride much on highway so not an issue for me. The MIA is hard to pair with phones. I got a nail in my rear tire so ordered new ones. Gonna try the Angel GT. Those don't have the groove down the middle. Yes, i definitely would get it again. Do it. As soon as you can. Join us. 😀 I'm going to see about coordinating a V100 meet up in Central Texas in the Fall. North or West of Austin. Hill country where it runs well.

@Timothy Brockbank, it's a GoPro original. That's all I have access to... stock music. It's called Deep Sea Diver by Heifervescent.

@alp3781, I'd say go for it. We have a Moto Guzzi dealer in Houston. They actually have 2 locations in Houston and are expanding to Dallas. But, I've had bad experiences with all 3 of their make lines (which I have all 3 of); Aprilia, MV Agusta, and Moto Guzzi. They have a reputation for dealing a certain way and lacking customer service. So.... I drive almost 3 hours away to AF1 in Austin for service. There is a former Houston dealer, MPH, that is well sought after for his Moto Guzzi expertise and his shop is only a few miles away from me in West Houston. But, he has a work order queue that's too long for me to wait on. As long as I set an appointment with them, AF1 has gotten me in and out within hours.

@@BenManrriquez Better you then me. That is a major issue on the East Coast dealing with MV, Aprilla, MG. Its a shame cause we are loosing riding wonderful machines. I can ride a Ducati, but the dealer is almost 2 hours from me. Enjoy your machines, boss.

We are waiting for you to come to Italy with your new motorbike. In Italy you are welcome

@michelemaio8399, true, true. 😆

@Eli The Great, in general, I agree with that. But my 2017 Aprilia Tuono Factory has been flawless at 34,500 miles now. Maybe I'm just lucky. On the other hand, I had 2 Ducatis a few years ago that both had severe fatal electrical issues. Maybe I was just unlucky in that case. But 2 of them! My 2019 MV Agusta Brutale RC has been great at 10,500 miles now. No issues with 2 other Moto Guzzis. But, yes, a risk, nonetheless with this first year totally new V100.

@@BenManrriquez You are indeed lucky, I wish you continued Luck. That Guzzi looks nice, I hope any Gremlin’s are kept away 👍

@elithegreat6463, I'm at 7,200 miles so far. No issues yet. I'm watching for them, though.

can't agree more about the front fender its poor , Ive fitted a pyramid extender at £ 70.oo works well but why on a GT tourer don't MG fit as standard this bike is made to be used not just looked at. I love mine

@Mozeby, yea, good point. That's what's keeping many from buying... the lack of local dealer support. We have an authorized Houston area dealer but my service experience with them on a Aprilia Tuono 3 years ago was not good. Others I've spoken to about their experience with this place have similar opinions. So, I bought it from AF1 in Austin 2 1/2 hours away from my home. I took it back to them for the 900 mile service. I expect to keep taking it to them for each upcoming service. My Tuono has not had any issues. I'm at 34,500 miles on it now. I'm at 2,850 miles on the V100. I have a 2016 Moto Guzzi V7 II Racer and a just acquired a 2020 V7 III Racer 10th Anniversary last weekend. No issues with them so far. But I am lucky that I have within 10 miles from me an Aprilia / MV Agusta / Ducati / BMW certified technician and a Moto Guzzi master technician. I've owned 2 Ducatis and both had severe electrical problems. Luck of the draw, I guess!

@@BenManrriquez how’s the size? I’m 6’1 and about 220. My Triumph Trident is a great bike but maybe a little small and little to no wind protection so that’s why I’m looking at a sport touring like this or Tracer 9. I ride to work on the hwy doing 70’ish so comfort is a big deal. First bike so live and learn.

@@mozeby1975 at 6'1 you should be fine. It depends on where on the seat you prefer to sit. I'd imagine that some over 6 feet tall will touch the cylinder heads with their knees if they sit up close to the tank. As far as speed, I have found that this bike feels most at home in the 80 to 100 mph range. It will easily do 70 with no wind buffeting.

I can confirm on the website you can add the center stand. However I do believe it should have been included in the base model of the bike.

@gp92510, oh, heck. I re-read the Ice Grey exhaust description and you're right, it says with DB killer. Dammit. I somehow missed that. I'll figure out how to remove the DB killer, remove the Agostini and put this Mistral back on to see if I like it even better. I was liking the Agostini because of the shorter length. Don't like that the Mistral hides some of the wheel. www.af1racing.com/mistral-stainless-steel-ice-grey-slip-on-mgh-v100-sa
