Stelvio.

we tried to get Guzzi , to put the 1200 sport engine in , put lights etc , but they said no.
idiots , they would have sold thousands of them.
Is this the one you bought ?
That's the one. Panniers don't actually look that enormous in reality.
where , can't see it ?
My neighbours ex-husband (a former pilot) owned the MGS01.
and they paid no more than £21k for it .
Bloody hell, I'd have snapped their hand off at 21k.
I've just been to pick up the Stelvio. A very cold wet ride at 8.30 this morning. It's 57 miles from mine to Teasdales. On the way there on the R1250r I got to thinking, why am I getting rid of this bike? It goes well, it handles well, clutch is light, engine and gearbox are lovely. Heated grips are the best I've ever experienced on a bike. Overall the R1250r is a fabulous motorcycle. But, it didn't really make me smile, I never got off it and looked back. I never read or looked at video's about it. I had no inkling to tinker with it.
Cup of coffee and the paperwork done at Teasdales, jumped on the Stelvio and it was like putting on an old pair of slippers. I immediately felt at ease. The cold, damp and filthy roads did not spoil my ride home. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A quick covering in foam, a jet wash off and a blast with the dryer. It now looks almost as good as when I picked it up. The shed is now home to 3 Guzzi's and I love them all. Roll on some better weather.

Nice one Wrinkly
Very nice, might be interested when you sell it......
Looks great in black, doesn’t it?
Second dibs.
Yes, bring on the better weather, that bike will give you a lot of pleasure.

hope you didn't spill too much coffee
Remind me, it’s the Stevlio, a Griso…what else?
I saw one of those once it was sat in a little shop in Adelaide with a Ducati Desmoseidici next to it
2006 1100Griso in red.
2012 1200 Stelvio in black
2024 Euro 5+ vvt V85 in red and white. Quite possibly the best allrounder Guzzi have produced. IMHO of course.
Lovely looking bike. Bringing it to Moffat?
Bringing it to Moffat?
Given your history with Guzzi, you're in a pretty good position to judge!
