How did former-and-future President Donald Trump pull off such a dominating -- and apparently soul-crushing -- win on election night? Well, it all depends on who you ask. For the (clear) majority of Americans, the appeal of Trump is actually rather simple: He's a return to normalcy and a total...

2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello in Blue Oceano The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello range is updated for 2025, including the introduction of the new special-edition Wind Tunnel version, which celebrates the 70th anniversary of wind-tunnel testing as designed by Carlo and Giuseppe Guzzi in the 1950s.  All V100 Mandello models (standard, S, and Wind Tunnel) receive updates to the transmission. These updates were first introduced on the Stelvio in 2024 and consist of relocating the cotter from the primary shaft of the gearbox to the clutch to enhance its damping capacity and overall operation. The bikes’ shared 1,042cc V-Twin engine is also now Euro 5+ compliant. Another new detail is the central radiator guard to protect against debris.  2025 V100 Mandello in Grigio Titanio The V100 Mandello S gets additional upgrades. It already benefited from a host of additional features, including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, an up/down quickshifter, heated grips, a tire-pressure-monitoring system, and the MIA multimedia platform. For 2025, it now comes with the PFF Rider Assistance Solution system as standard.  The PFF Rider Assistance Solution system is based on Imaging Radar 4D technology and uses Forward Collision Warning, Blind Sport Information System, and Lane Change Assist functions to make riding safer.  2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S in Rosso Lava The V100 Mandello will be available in Blu Oceano or Grigio Titanio. The V100 Mandello S includes a two-tone paint and will be available in Verde Ghiaccio or Rosso Lava, with rims, cylinder heads, and forks finished in gold.  2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S in Verde Ghiaccio 2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel  A new special-edition V100 Mandello will be offered in 2025 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the introduction of the first wind tunnel for motorcycle testing. This motorcycle-specific wind tunnel, designed by Carlo and Giuseppe Guzzi, was officially opened on April 12, 1954, and it’s still used as an essential part of testing at the Moto Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario.  2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel The Wind Tunnel special-edition option comes with the S version’s extra features, including the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension, up/down quickshifter, heated grips, a tire-pressure-monitoring system, and the MIA multimedia platform.  Special to the V100 Mandello Wind Tunnel is its livery. It’s red with a black tailsection and front fender, and the tank includes black graphics on the side. Gold detailing on the tank matches the gold cylinder heads.

The 2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650 adds scrambler styling and features to the INT 650 platform, offering a midsized scrambler option with Royal Enfield’s classic design and a starting price of less than $7K. Compared to the INT, the Bear features Showa suspension, a stiffer steering head, a 2-into-1 exhaust system, full LED lighting, and a circular TFT instrument panel. We spent a day playing around on the Bear 650 in Palm Springs, California, and surrounding areas, putting the bike through its paces on street and on dirt. While the Bear’s power is modest, we enjoyed the bike’s total package of simplicity, accessibility, and style, and we suspect Royal Enfield customers will too.
