Just read the latest report on the new Stelvio in MCN

and am now in love. (not with the bloke on the right, the bike!)
I want one NOW PLEASE!
V twin, 1200cc, gorgeous to behold and should be about £8000. It just ticks all the boxes for me, plus that certain, must have feelling that makes the heart rule the head.

Yes, it's nice. Don't need another Moto Guzzi to drool over, already in love with the Griso, their bikes are so sexy.
They certainly know how to dress up a ditch-pump motor

Nice. I've got a soft spot for Guzzis. Maybe one day.....

Yes, ******* offspring of a Versys and a CBF1000 to my eyes. :)
The Griso on the other hand...

Kevin Ash (yes, him again) had some nice words for the new OHC 8 valve motor, also used in the new Griso.
My dad's got three of the things.
Boputa Boputa Boputa... CLUNK! First gear enaged! :)
I was reading in this month's bike magazines that Motoguzzi are trying to relaunch the flagging brand.
They are missing the biggest marketing opportunity in history and it's staring them in the face!
Launch this as a road bike... problem solved! I'd buy one tomorrow even if i had to sell a kidney to do so!!

Dont do it for me.
Ive got this image of Guzzis as underpowered and unreliable,but without the drop dead goregous looks of other Italians.
The engine part is delightful, that would captivate me if I owned any Guzzi, but I can't say the Stelvio is particularly inspiring, not even for a big traily type bike.

Aye a good review it was, and not from the usual Guzzi lover (Mr West). First time I have ever seen a MG described as having little midrange! Don't like the styling much, will maybe be a grower like GS/Busa I expect, but......
Griso for me and a V7 for the missus please.:smt025
Going to Mandello Del Lario in July for a look about. (Will hide my Jap UJM round the corner of course;))

:winner: Griso or the Breva, lovely machines. If I had the money I would be using one everyday. Had 2 Guzzis & loved them both to bits. It took me 10 years & a lot of nagging to sell my V50, just loved it & so easy to work on. :)

I dont like the look of it, reminds me of a dual-sport without the usefullness of one.
