Default Mmmmmoto Guzzi

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

Yes, ******* offspring of a Versys and a CBF1000 to my eyes.

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.
