Morning Taym my friend has one of these only had a month he’s never of it I had a short ride and I liked it but a bit to tall and heavy for me but a absolutely fantastic bike they have made 👍🏍️
The Stevio looks like a great bike for those that want the modern features, and it is probably important that MG manufactures bikes like this to keep up with Ducati and the rest. I’d still go for the V 85 TT, but I think sales have been disappointing for them. Great look at the bike, as usual Mr TAYM!
Picking up my V85TT from Mototechniques on Friday,can’t wait trading in my trusty Bandit I’ve had from new 2016,MG’s are such beautiful looking machines.great video.👍🏻
I can here a lot of wind noise but like you said it is very windy , i agree that one side of the rear wheel looks odd yet they have put the rear disc same side as the shaft 🤔. The v85tt with the alloy wheels and I think it’s got smaller wheels would be my choice 👍🏍️
If I was in the market for an adventure bike (which I'm not) this would be on the list. Only issue I would have is the plethora of electronic gizmos which will no doubt fail at some point. Not a fan of yellow bikes but it definitely suits this one.
Looks much better than the old Stelvio that had the goggle eyed headlights. I did test ride that old Stelvio model about 13 yrs ago and quite liked it. But i was doing a lot of UK & Europe touring and mc rallies at that time and just didn't have enough faith in its reliability. Ended up buying a Yam Super Tenere 1200 and never regretted it. This new Stelvio isn't for me as I'm done with the big cc, big weight adv bikes these days and stick to more middleweight offerings. I dont particularly want the plethora of electronic gizmos either.
@@TAYM By the amount of BMW GS's i see, they're obviously still selling well, but there has been a shift to smaller bikes getting more popular. In my mid 60's now i cant be doing with heavy bikes anymore. I'm also finding big power a bit pointless now with speed cameras everywhere and 'the man' constantly trying to catch you over the limit We had the best of it taym.
TAYM thank you for reviewing another Guzzi you’ve made my day😊👍🏻 hip op went well also so what a day this is turning out to be😃 now when are you buying a guzzi 😜 carry on that man Caio for now tat ta 👍🏻
I set up the tablet next to my rowing machine and enjoy the beautiful english countryside as I get some exercise which I hate normally. thanks. when you pulled away from a dead stop it made a very muscular gurgling sound - not unlike a Ford Mustang (an American muscle/sports car)
Morning TAYM, that's a tasty looking Guzzi, I've always liked them but never got round to buying one, I couldn't afford this one, so I might just have to turn my Vstrom engine sideways and paint it yellow and silver eh? 🤔😅😅 Cheers Mel 🍻
Morning taym lovely day but bit windy on that day but I love the look of that moto guzzi but still not sure about reliability still like from the 60/70s but once you’ve built up a bad name you have a job to get rid of it but beautiful looking as always from motoguzzi my mate who done road racing had a new motoguzzi Le Mans on the road 1000cc but had little troubles with it but styling of the guzzies as with Italian stuff is always very nice like ducatis they are amazing looking bikes but as usual not without problems anyway take care ride safe
The blind spot detection seems like it has real value, and I could see the lights in the mirrors also flashed when you indicated with a car to your side. I test rode a V100 Mandello and was convinced it was my next bike, but I was a little disappointed and bought a DCT NT1100 instead. I think the Stelvio looks quite a bit like the Aprilia Tuareg 660.
I reside in scarborough and the cafe of choice for such a ice cream would be the harbour bar, and the ice of choice, in my opinion would be a lemon top.😊
Gorgeously styled bike with a very dull paint job . Rather like a super model wearing a hessian sack . I'm a big Guzzi fan and can't wait to have a test ride . You didn't mention centre stand or vibrations , so I presume it has neither . Which is bad and good in that order . Key ignition is a bonus . I can understand that the radar etc is useful for some traffic environments but I don't want or need it . The cost of replacing a mirror if the bike is dropped would make me cry . Enough horsepower to have fun with although 245 kg is a bit porky . But hey , big girls can be lots of fun !😂. Nice little comment to Beemer Boy at the end . You can always tell a BMW owner , but you can't tell them much . I'll give Moto Guzzi a couple of years to iron out the teething troubles and come up with a decent paint job , then I might trade in the big Tiger , which although a basically good bike , has some really annoying quirks ,( mostly electronic twattishness ). Nice one TAYM .
Well Mr TAYM you catch me just a day after my 65th birthday having re-watched your Harley Breakout video. As I contemplate swapping the ZZR for a Harley you throw the Stelvio into the mix. I fancied the Mandello when it was first shown but it so long to go into production I bought the ZZR. Then when they released the Mandello they hinted at the Stelvio, so it made sense to wait. Now I'm torn between two very different bikes of completely different styles and each similar to bikes I own already. I feel a visit to a few dealers and a few test rides are on the cards. The new Indian Scout 101 has also caught my attention, although it's down on power compared to the Harley's, Oh decisions, decisions 🤔😯😒😂
Great bike, Mr TAYM ! I love those spoked wheels and that gorgeous engine. I don’t like those unnecessary “rider aids”. I’ll stick to the glance over the shoulder like we’re all taught to do, instead of distracting, flashing lights, thank you 👍 I wonder if they can be disabled 🤔
Nice one TAYM I like the Stelvio not a big adventure fan but this one ticks a box for me much better visually than the BMW GS for me that engine just looks neater than the boxer flat twin .I think there is a nod to the Guzzi emblem on the handlebar clamp with that sculpted shape ,the screen did look as if it was moving a bit as you say but all in all a nice package and would be my choice .👌👍Splendid !
Being an old fart with a Norton/Ducati background, the Stelvio is quite appealing. If you recall, I’m riding a Tiger 900 GT Pro. It’s truly a lovely ride and does everything I could ask. My one ridiculous little niggle is perhaps a lack of character. I have a Scorpion can that helps. Oh well, I suppose the grass is always greener.
That is a guaranteed head turner. One that would get non bikers interest on the street. I'm looking for an available Demo model to try a "freeloading" test ride for sure after watching this. More than enough power and one to look back at after dismount with the hope that some of the "Cool" will transfer somehow. Just have to wait a couple of years as the new price is a little rich for my blood.
“Rebound and compression” i learn so much from your talk. Beautiful Guzzi. I noticed you switch off with key and not engine cut off switch. Do you have reason for that TAYM? Thanks Paul S.
👍👍🏍 Fantastic bike , but i,m waiting for the 1500cc 175hp 300kg version🤣🤣😉 it is a lovely looking bike but i am resisting(trying to) the bigger is better upgrade as i always regret the weight bulk after a while. I think i,m getting wise (old) 😁
It is a lovely looking bike though out of my price (and inside leg measurement) bracket. But I can see it doing well in the adventure market. Also who’s this Helen Hall you keep mentioning in your videos and does Mrs TAYM know about her..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your review. I enjoyed it. Why would you choose this over the new V85 TT? Is there still a place for the new V85 or have Moto Guzzi completely eclipsed their own mid sized adventure bike?
I really like the Stelvio it looks a cracking bike. I think, on balance, I still prefer the look of the v85tt. The only thing I really don't like on the Stelvio is that hood over the clock it looks like an ash tray lid from a 1960s Austin 🤣🤣🤣
Does it have a warning light to tell you when the warning light isn't working?😂 Lovely Bike but for me there's too much unnecessary technology just waiting to go wrong. And being Italian it will. A Bike with this amount of power simply doesn't need five modes. I also wonder about the potential danger of a long term Stelvio rider who's got used to his Bike warning him about other vehicles close proximity getting 'pinballed' across the Motorway because he's jumped on a Bike that hasn't got it.😮 If you think that won't happen look at the number of riders who swap Bikes and then ride for miles with their indicators on because they've got used to their machines turning them off for them. But otherwise a charming Bike and i hope it sells well for M.G. Thanks Taym.
The ergonomics and seating are ideal, and the greater fuel capacity over the Mandello both argue for buying a Stelvio over the V100, but it’s ridiculous that Moto Guzzi chose the enormously heavier spoked off-road wheels for a bike that they also admit isn’t an off-road machine. The V100 machine I will buy is one with the V100S chassis with the Stelvio’s “body work/seating” fitted, and a replacement of the marginally functional side cases with something on the order of those fitted to Moto Guzzi’s new for 2024 V85 Travel model. Having ridden over 1200 miles on their V100S, and 400 miles on a Stelvio, it’s clear the two could do with a blend of their features to distill the platforms into a truer over the road capable design, perhaps to be called a Norge?
I am so lost with quick shifting, lane assist, forward crash detection, flashing mirrors and all this other crud that we don't need in riding a motorcycle. Might as well buy an autonomous 4 wheel vehicle at this point. Everyone, stop buying a motorcycle, and buy a taxi service. Let's get cigarette lighter and ashtrys and cup holders soon. Do they have the Lazyboy feature that lifts your feet. And look, we have boots that massage the feet as you ride. Let's get back to basics. Pencil and paper. Sorry, I really do not get it. Only 51 years old and feel like I am 90 with this idea. But this is the reason we have problems today. Adding crap we don't need to a motorcycle to make people feel important. Crazy life we live in. Sorry, TAYM, I just don't get this technology in a world that doesn't need it. In my head at least. Wake , shower, dress, eat, ride, work, ride, eat, poop, eat and rest. Simple! 😂
I understand what you’re saying. One of the reasons I’m switching from a KTM 890 Adventure to a Yamaha Tenere 700. Less intrusion with the technology. If I can get the deal done A local fella is selling a RE Classic 500.
My bike has a gear indicator on the TFT! What gear am I in? The right one. All the time. How do I know that? Eyes, ass, hands, ears. Feedback systems. Came with my body.
The video was fine but I am prejudiced….always found Italian stuff is flakey - bikes, cars, even hate pasta! Taking the YB to first run in 11 months - it’s been a long time waiting
That's too bad Rob . Ah well , you can leave the Italian bikes , cars , ladies and the pizza to us , we'll happily take care of them . La Dolce Vita , as they say .
I like the Motoguzzi bikes & these new one's have the header pipes facing out instead of forward.Shaft drive too.Same weight as Super Meteor but 350cc more & 68hp more & bells & whistles as well.The V85tt is still a good buy too if can't afford the Stelvio & V85TT is cheaper than most of it's competitors but shaft drive.
Best looking adventure bike by far.
Thanks Kevin 😁
One of the better looking adv bikes, but not cheap. I like the engine.
V85TT is cheaper than Tiger 🐅 & GS 850-900 & shaft & alot cheaper than Stelvio.
Thanks WB 😁
cheaper than similar spec BMW GS, Africa Twin and Tiger 1200 and 900, and you get 2 large panniers and shaft drive.
