Bloody hell, Mike! Back after a 6 year absence from KZitem! I've been a BiKE mag subscriber for many years and it's always bamboozled why BiKE never had a presence on YT. Hope to see plenty more!

I can only recommend this bike to any tourer, so easy to ride, power is sufficiant and gas capacity is just good for shy 400 kms. I love it!

Its a Guzzi, you can't compare Guzzis to anything else, you either get it or you don't. All the other brands in that category are more or less the same apart from your personal choices and the manufacturers compete with eachother to provide what they think the potential purchaser is looking for ...Moto Guzzi just sell Guzzis and its their take of this category of bike.

I owned a Multi V2S for a year. Over half my riding is in city traffic. I live in Dallas Texas. The heat in the summer was brutal off the rear cylinder on the V2S. I traded it for a Moto Guzzi V7 Special. The Guzzi does not roast your butt in the summer time. So, I am anxiously waiting to test the new Stelvio. The one thing I wish the Stelvio had is the semi active suspension. That is one thing I loved about the Ducati V2S. I would trade the radar for the semi active suspension any day.

I'm betting this Stelvio is much hotter than previous Guzzis. Used to be, Guzzis were air cooled only, which also meant they ran fuel rich in order to carry a lot of heat out of the engine in the form of unburnt fuel vapor. This bike is Euro-5 compliant and introduces a radiator, so it's going to be stoichiometrically efficient in combustion... and generate a lot more heat (hence the radiator). As to how they shed that heat? That's the trick. Most bike designers throw it against the rider's legs. We'll see what MG does with it, but I'm not holding my breath that they found some novel heat dissipation technology.

I have the Mandello V100, I love it. There is just the position that is slightly to much bent to the front, so I can’t wait to test the Stelvio ! I see it as a Mandello but with the right rider’s position for me.

Try getting some offset bar risers that move the bars slightly up and closer to you. SW-Motech are top quality and you normally just slot em in and tighten the bars back up. I got a pair for my Honda, took me 10 minutes to fit, excellent!

A fab review. You summed it up nicely. I cant wait to get a test ride on the Stelvio. I have both a 950 Multistrada and A Guzzi Breva 1100, so this might replace both.

I just bought this bike and I love it. I never thought I would buy a Guzzi. The engine just wants to pull and it sounds like a bike should. My Tiger 1200 may have a bit more power, nicer brakes and suspension, as well it should considering the price, but I would still rather ride the Guzzi.

How would you compare it to Africa Twin the base model (although AT has 21" wheels) ? I believe it is equally polished, but how about engine wise, handling wise etc?

In today’s world bikes have quality suspensions that are controlled and dynamic. It comes from the need to be able to adjust to different conditions because it is demanded by the ride and rider. Especially with an adventure bike. While BMW, Honda, Triumph, Ducati lead the way moving forward and we have had dynamic suspension or semi-active suspensions since 2005. Moto Guzzi continues to come up short in their designs for a modern competitive open class motorcycle. Why spend the effort of designing a modern engine and stick it on a good frame and chassis but fail to provide a better than minimal grade suspension? It just doesn’t make any sense.

They failed when they built an Adventure Bike with a smaller fuel tank than the V85TT, which gets better fuel economy.
