I really love the new Stelvio, excellent machine. Once I set the sag properly the bike handled like a dream. The engine is a jewel and feels like it puts out more power than Guzzi says it does. Imagine that, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer that understates HP numbers! lol. Overall I am extremely pleased with the Stelvio. Bravo MotoGuzzi!

Nowadays (oh God I already sound like an old person) everyone can strap a camera to themselves, go to a dealer and publish a video review. But there's just something different about people like Simon or Adam Child or Chris Northover for example. Keep up the good work, this coverage is always valuable to us followers of bike news and prospective buyers.

Great review. I was waiting for the V85TT comparison. These are now selling for £9499 or £10499 for the 'Tour.' More fun, more enjoyable and have the all important Guzzi character.🍔🍟

@TheErcaciotta 7 дней назад

just sold my v85tt because in highway use is very unstable end goes wobble and shim very easili. Had many settings at suspensions but wasn't able to fix this dangerous issue. V85tt is a wondeful bike but only if ou ride very calm way and not up to 100 kmh. Mine one was E5 version. Now I'm waiting for my new stelvio and tested few days ago: simply wonderful!

I think the Stelvio will be a good seller for Guzzi. Personally, however, seeing the 2024 iteration of the V85TT and the improvements made, I’d put my folding on the smaller air cooled bike. Looking forward to your review, Simon, of the new V85.

@allwheeldrive 3 месяца назад

Love your reviews, Simon. Have been waiting for this one. It actually very much reminds me of my Super Tenere ES...of which has quietly been put back into their '24 lineup (Anyone else notice that? Probably not...). It seems, like the ST, the more time spent, the more the bike will make sense. It sounds to be really capable and - for the most part; after all it IS Italian - very well-thought-out, and an excellent tripper. Love the looks, the new motor, the complement of features. In a moment of weakness, I could possibly buy one. But (talking of elephants), I'll wait to see how these water-coolers do in the wild after the miles pack on. Utter reliability is the one thing my ST has that would be extremely difficult to give up, and why it's still in their lineup. Surprisingly capable, exceptionally dependable. The two features you can't do without on 1000-mile trips. Hope MG has that worked out!

Thanks for that thought provoking review !!! Owned the Mandello S last year (briefly) until it was written off when 1 month old due to diesel on the road 😖 but thoroughly loved the bike ! Was confidence inspiring in the twisties. Was planning to just get another but thats when the launch of the Stelvio sparked my interest. Keen to go for the PFF model which is the one with the uprated radar tech. Waiting to test ride the Stelvio ! But by the sounds of your review, probably best going for the Mandello S with the semi active suspension 🤷‍♂️

@uglybiketours4344 3 месяца назад

Hello Simon! I was hoping you would introduce the new Stelvio. 😉😉 You have a big heart for Guzzi and I love your V85TT videos where you can see how much you love this motorcycle. 😁😁 The new Stelvio is certainly a fantastic motorcycle, but it has also lost some of the typical Moto Guzzi character. It is more accessible and softer and therefore perhaps more suitable for the masses, but no longer has a 100% Guzzi character. You're not the first person to say that the V85TT is more like Guzzi 😉😉 I miss the passion in this test that you had back in Sardinia when the V85TT was presented 😁😁 including footrests on the ground in almost every corner 😂😂 my conclusion: The Stelvio is a great motorcycle but without the typical Guzzi character. If you want the typical Guzzi character, you have to buy the V85TT. Performance isn't everything...😉😉 I love my V85TT precisely because of the character, you also miss in the Stelvio. Greetings from Bavaria Robert

@903lew 3 месяца назад

I thought I’d be interested in the Stelio but I can’t say I’m impressed. For the money there is just so much greatness out there and to be honest the V85 TT looks quite grand in comparison. Retro? Maybe, but isn’t that 9/10 of the Guzzi thing?

@mrcintheuk4641 3 месяца назад

So the starting price for this is £14,816, the starting price for a BMW R 1300 GS is £15,990 and the starting price for a Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is. £16,299. So is the competition for this bike the Honda, or is it the basic GS which has shaft drive but admittedly handlebars and wheels are probably optional extras?

@solusquinto3086 8 дней назад

Yeah, I can totally relate to the „steering problem“. Preload was set too low and it felt awkward especially in slow turns. I gave the Preload 20 additional clicks and everything felt perfect. It was actually the same problem I‘ve had with my CRF1100L (2022). Out of the factory it is set to 7 clicks of 35-37clicks (it seems to vary a little) and I had to give it 26-28 clicks to feel comfortable in turns and corners. I don‘t understand why manufacturers adjust preload so soft … or they have to instruct their dealers to set it up to the weight of their customers before leaving.

@MM_3857 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the review! I'm just confused by the pre-load at the rear, if you increase it, the bike will lower at the back as the spring is already compressed, not the opposite. You should have had less feeling with the front after that.

@pmstirling 3 месяца назад

No, other way around! If you increase preload the bike will sag less with your weight, ie ride higher

@highmilagerider1154 3 месяца назад

I have always wanted a Guzzi and the Stelvio looks sexy. The only thing i worry about is the short valve service intervals and cost. I live in Canada and ride 30-35,000km every season (6 months). The Guzzi valve service intarval is 10K, so I would have to do 3-4 services a season $$$. My current bike a 2019 Super Tenere has valve service intervals of 40K. What do you think? Thanks for the great video!

@paulfarcas1514 2 месяца назад

That's only the first interval and it's 15000 km. Then the interval extends.

@nickenyfiken9913 3 месяца назад

Great review, you nailed it when you mentioned why persons prefer a Guzzi in front of other brands. I left Guzzi due to reliability and lack of spare parts. If you need to wait 3,5 months you give up. And this concerned two separate Guzzi’s (Norge and Stelvio).😱 However, the running V-twin is a character as you mentioned. So I’m still in love with the brand ❤️

@gerokatseros 3 месяца назад

So , in a few words which one would you choose? Stelvio or Africa? Also how do you compare it to the basic Africa (21" wheel) , does Stelvio handle better than this one? What about weight feeling? Are they equally strong engine wise?

@writestuffmedia 3 месяца назад

I'd go for the Africa Twin Adventure Sport with semi-active (the 2024 model).Stelvio has 'better' - or more road-oriented - handling than the 21in AT. But the stock AT feels lighter and more agile. AT feels like a much fitter engine - perkier!

Guzziness aside, I would be worried the quality of some components would not be very resistant to corrosion in the UK climate. I guess as someone who loves Italy, their people,food and clothing, I'm a bit nervous of their engineering standards. Having said that, these bikes seem to appeal to me.

@iainhenstridge6343 3 месяца назад

I've always loved Moto Guzzi - although I'm amazed that people still can't pronounce it properly - you can pronounce pizza ? Well, the ZZ is said the same way!! I'd been thinking about a Stelvio, as I already have. MotoGuzzi 1000S and an Africa Twin 1100. The Honda is a real tough act to beat and an amazing road bike. I bumped into a guy with a V100 Mandello yesterday and after a year of riding it, said that he really liked it. However he said that his mate had an identical machine that had been at the dealers awaiting repair for 10 months with electronics issues! Now, if that was a Honda, that would have been sorted, but you're relying on Piaggio UK, who are hopeless. So I'll enjoy riding my old Guzzi, but I'll take the Honda over the Stelvio. Or, as the man says, get a proven V85TT and spend the change on fuel and see the world.

@nigelsride 3 месяца назад

I like the Stelvio, good point about the PFF version re the additional cost to turn the adaptive cruise control on ?? I was in a dealer the other day and they never once mentioned that being an extra? Still like the bike, due to test ride one shortly and have sneaky feeling I'm going to love it 😊

Mhmm ... food rests mounted to the engine block sounds like a terrible idea in case you drop the bike 🤔 But if I haven't bought the CRF1100 almost two years ago, the Stelvio would be a strong competitor because of the shaft drive and ... well ... I just like Guzzi 😁

@TheVkoN 2 месяца назад

Hello, I think you are a bit unfair with this particular model. it has a transmission shaft which the africa does not have very important to me. the competition is between triumph 900 gt & pro, Ducati multi 900 v2, Suzuki Vstorm 1050 & Honda Africa adv. I believe once the active suspension from Mandello S is fitted it will be the most complete offering in its class. It's a very smart move by Guzzi and will get a lot of customers from other brands like me who is considering swapping my BMW F800GS for this model. I'm sure Guzzi fanatics resent it but I prefer the evolution along with the safety this model offers. I have test ridden the Stelvio in Greece. Thank you very much for your presentation.

@mariobianchi1909 3 месяца назад

Quite frankly the Stelvio is cheaper bike with a much more modern design and plenty of character that the ATAS. Better engine, better (shaft) transmission, better handling, more road oriented wheels (same size as the Ducati Multistrada while the ATAS is an off-road motorcycle adapted for road use), better wind protection, high quality radar system (front and rear) that works great and proprietary system for installing side panniers directly on the motorbike without the need for side frames. To me the only downside is atm the lackness of electronic suspension at all.

@teneretraveller8980 3 месяца назад

Moto Guzzi will always be a left field choice. Have they done enough to keep the traditional followers? If it was me I'd go v85. And pocket the difference. The number you see ( or don't) on the road I think says what buyers want, which might be why Guzzi might be trying to go more mainstream with the Stevio. Ride safe 👍

Here we go again with a motorcycle reviewer complaining about "character". I have a KTM SMT 990. It has more character than just about anything else and is huge fun. I also have a Versys 650, which has zero character, but is really good for doing long distance riding when I don't want to struggle with a bike's quirks.

@writestuffmedia 3 месяца назад

Yeah... I'm not complaining one way or the other - just pointing out the Stelvio dials down the Guzzi character a bit (not entirely) and dials up a certain amount of, I dunno, civility. In truth, character is as much what you bring to the bike as the bike brings to you. Versys 650 owners who don't have an SMT as a reference point (great bike btw) might say 'hang on, my bike has LOTS of character!' and they'd be right. It's subjective.

@debrisbit 3 месяца назад

Where exactly did he complain about character? All I heard him say was that some diehards might find that it's less reminiscent of an older Guzzi feel and character. Like you said you find your KTM very characterful, your Kawasaki bland. What makes you think Moto Guzzi buyers are looking for a bland bike rather than what they've been known for all these years - character?

I keep saying it, i said it with the Mandello, If your gonna pay with the big boys, you need to bring a proper Baseball bat to the game so you can hit with the big boys and not like little league hits. The bike is missing 20 HP to play in this game. Your performance is in the 2005 - 2013 R1200GS territory. How is it you can start with a clean slate and wind up ten years behind the competition?

‘Nothing to prove’ (channel) said he was told Guzzi would bring out the Ohlins 2.0 semi-active version next year, so all that ‘vagueness’ could be dialled out. But the Southampton Guzzi dealer Deardens (who have them) say ‘No way is a s/a version coming out’. AGAIN, I think Guzzi have missed a trick. The radar is as you say rubbish. The paint is Matt (subjective, but I hate Matt paint). The Mandello S needs Gold wheels (but they won’t let you have them). Guzzi - what are you playing at. Not having s/a on this bike is a CRIME…..Also their side-box luggage system is very clever in that you just take off the rear seat, put the boxes on and put the seat back on. BUT the boxes themselves have these “struts” which stick out, and will snap off in the 1st hotel door. Then you’re f**ked. Guzzi …… ARGHHHHH

Unfortunately the guy doing the review doesn’t come off well at all. He doesn’t come a cross as he understands or has knowledge of the bike like Adam Child does. With a lot of erms, I think and what I have I forgot’s. Unfortunately I had to switch it off.
