Pleasure to the eye

 Well I have said on here before that I dont care for the look of many modern motorcycles only a few I care for.
The sharp edges on eveything and exhaust pointing up to your ears, that being said I do like the look of the new
Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello, I have always pondered the feel of a Moto Guzzi but have never rode one and there
is something about the flying V motor I have always liked just like the CX 500 and 650 models. Airflow direction
from carb to exhaust is such a nice line with form and function. I would not care if it roasted my legs off. the Scorpion's
roasted with there flying V's but thats a whole diff bag of potatoes.

The Mandelllo sort of reminds me of the Yamaha TDM 900 - another great twin that never really made it to the USA.

They're extremely capable, competent and comfortable and really were an "adventure bike" (with knobbly tyres) long before the phrase was counted and things like the Suzuki DL 650/100 and Ducati Multistrada came along.

Very popular bikes in mainland Europe for many years.

Not a great photo, of a great bike.
