★ 2024 MOTO GUZZI STELVIO REVIEW ★

[@simonbowen6653]

So much better looking than the new GS.

[@olethorhermansen5696]

You have to love Moto Guzzi for sticking with shaft drive, when practically all other manufacturers can only offer chains, chains and more miserable chains. Forza Guzzi!

[@nigelfisher3756]

A quality motorcycle. You can’t beat a Guzzi for character, maintenance and just about everything else.

[@dennisherreid5393]

Oh Contrare! Both my M-G Norges let me down mechanically. Each required trips to the Dealer 155 miles away. God help if you lose the five digit code.

[@ginoasci]

Don’t know a that. My triumph scrambler 1200 is reliable, good looking, all the tech you want at tells you everything, beautiful TFT display 200mm suspension travel and fully adjustable, sounds great, quality parts, good mileage, lots of character, and the service requirement is at 10,000, but it does have chain drive. Oh, and every part looks good and is polished to look gorgeous. Non of that plastic stuff to hide anything.

[@nigelfisher3756]

@gino You may be right but I’m still not totally convinced by the modern Triumphs. They certainly don’t have the same levels of character & charm as the Guzzis. Furthermore, I buy a Moto Guzzi knowing it’s been made in Italy. One buys a Triumph and it’s probably been made in Thailand or some other country, well away from Britain.

[@ginoasci]

@@nigelfisher3756 : I’m 100% Italian, born there. I understand what you’re say, but I love my triumph scrambler. I don’t care for the Guzzi vibration and side shake. Plus I like the looks of the scrambler more than the Stelvio and mondello.

[@nigelfisher3756]

@gino Fair enough Gino, you make a strong point for the Triumph bike(s). I prefer Italian style (like beautiful Italian ladies and Alfa Romeo’s!). Let’s call them equal!?

[@trooper64428]

In my opinion the coolest looking Adv bike I've seen, it looks like a sports naked and an adventure bike had a baby.

[@5420simon]

Seems an excellent machine, must admit I loved the old Stelvio as well. You've got to own a Guzzi before you die !

[@neilanderson2374]

I can watch Moto Guzzi reviews all day. I Must take a trip to the factory.

[@etiennevanstraaten6199]

When you go ask them to make the engine in black.

[@stratovanzo]

The passion for motors that we have in Italy produced a lot of bike manufacturers, Guzzi is part of the history.

[@ozyrob1]

Do they offer a factory tour? Now that would be incredible.

[@stratovanzo]

I think they organize tour factory, maybe try to look in the internet site

Nice review & bike. I must say that I do love a Guzzi! I hope they make a new Griso & road focused Daytona with this engine.

[@grahamariss2111]

A new LeMan to take o the Ducati SuperSport.

[@ianhalliwell8604]

Way more to my tastes than a GS and saving thousands as well. Loads of character fabulous engine but why oh why has it not got proper mudguards we don't all like cleaning our bikes everytime we take them out.

[@fengbi5653]

Excellent review as always Mark . Your channel is the one to go to and get a honest no bias review. Thank you Mark keep it up.👍

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks I appreciate that 😊

[@kyotosal]

I really would love to have a Moto Guzzi. I think I can handle the weight. It's expensive but the quality is worth it. Great video Mark, thank you .......Sal : )

[@8888swatt]

"Pulling power!" ..... that has to be the slogan on your new line of merch ...surely!? Great review. Torn between the Stelvio and the Mandello....

[@markpulling12]

Stelvio for me ...I found it more comfortable:)

[@phillipgarfoot9867]

I got the base crf 1100,grips full stand,crash bars racking another 1500 quid but had it 3 years & still love it

[@christopherhorton5449]

An excellent real world review. Thank you Mark. I cant wait to road test one of these. It may replace my Multistrada 950 and Moto Guzzi Breva 1100

[@Rossi593]

Thanks for another great review. I’ve always been a GS/GSA fan but this could be a viable alternative. I don’t need massive power but want low down and mid range grunt which this seems to have. And it’s a real V twin rather than a parallel twin contrived to sound like one. One tester suggested it was quite top heavy. I’m only slightly taller than you and then likes of the T7, Ducati Desert-X and Multistradas certainly felt that way. I’m guessing no bother? The front end looks not unlike like a Tuareg 660.

[@markpulling12]

Yes I thought that aswell about the front ....yes plenty of low down grunt A fabulous ride cheers mark

[@BikingChap]

The bike I'd be hoping Guzzi would launch ever since they cancelled the last Stelvio, sadly i think it's just too big and too expensive for me personally now but what a glorious motorcycle and so much more than a GS.

[@markpulling12]

Yes thanks fantastic to ride ....I preferred it over the v100 ...more comfortable for me Best wishes mark

[@BikingChap]

[@johnpaulgarzaniti5065]

What a fantastic explanation of your sensations riding this bike I just bought a new 2023 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone. I'm pleased with it's unique characteristics and of course now I'm looking forward to the day I add a V100 Mandello or Stelvio to my collection

[@markpulling12]

Many thanks I appreciate that Best wishes mark

[@norsehall309]

G'day Mark, always a great motorcycle for Moto Guzzi never owned one myself or ridden one, in saying that never heard a bad word about them, my good friend just bought one so l have seen what's offered for a top end price motorcycle, your review was spot on again, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Neil 😄

[@lestersmyth692]

Very nice and reasonably priced in comparison to its competitors. The watercooled engine looks the business and 115 bhp with 77ftlbs of torque is sufficient, nice review Mark thanks 👍

[@alastairday8451]

Terrific review. It was your Mandello review that prompted me to go to Deardens and look at and then buy one. Sadly the Mandello didn't work out for me but I reckon the Stelvio will suit me better. Time to go and have a look

[@markpulling12]

Thanks Alastair...maybe a stelvio for you then 😊

[@alanbriggs7177]

Why didn't the Mandello work for you?

[@Hinckley_Biker]

Cracking looking machine Mark, I love the spoked rims with tubeless tyres, at the start of the video I thought you were going to give us an off road demo over those logs! 😄Great video as always Mark, cheers for now, Dennis.

[@markpulling12]

Haha 😆 thanks Dennis 😂

[@Alfra1324]

Nice review Mark! I’m thinking about purchasing this one in that particular color! 😊

[@1990-t1j]

Looks different. Good quality bike. I used to be really into adv bikes but not now. Give me a naked muscle bike. Nick

[@malcolmpatton9314]

Looks great something totally different to other offerings. A test ride would have most people sold.

[@allwheeldrive]

Thanks again, Mark, for another great review. I had hoped it would be a really good ride, but I'm also hoping they have done better with general reliability. It's one thing to take a V7 around town or out for an overnight. But the Stelvio LOOKS like it just begs for those long, multi-day rides, and that's when you need something you can absolutely count on. Will be watching how it does because I want one! 😁

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

The ride is probably similar, but more comfortable than the one with the V100. I think they did a great job and this another famous come back of the Guzzi considering that they did it also with the V100. If only the price would be a bit lower. :) Great video Mark. Hopefully will try it next week. Cheers.

[@markpulling12]

Thanks yes it's amazing 🤩...love the guzzi ... thanks again 😁:)

[@SBKPete]

As always Mark, a real world review; worthy of particular attention 👍🏻

[@paulcooper5610]

Thanks for the review, I'm a big Moto Guzzi fan but still not too sure about the new water cooled ones or the styling, however from your review they do seem to be very smooth. I'm sure the styling will grow on me it's just I prefer the more classic look. Got to be better than paying another £10000 on top for a BMW GS that are as common as muck. Have you done a review of the V85tt ? it would be nice to see how it compares to the new Stelvio. For me I think I would still opt for the V85tt as I just feel 80bhp is enough, it's air cooled and it's far cheaper.

[@markpulling12]

Yes Paul the v85 is on my channel.... great bike :)

[@brisprott2451]

Great review Mark. Lovely looking bike let down by its cheap(ish) and dull looking TFT in my opinion.

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I've had a soft-spot for MotoGuzzi since I saw a California back in the 1970's....(or was it the 80's???). Anyway, another decent looking multi-purpose machine, with a name plenty of people will pay that premium for...

[@straightup1234]

Rumor they working on new California 2025

[@davidburne9477]

I have the v100 Mandello. After 8000kms I’m dead-on 20 kms/litre which is 55mpg with a mix of city running and spirited hill and dale riding. The pull from rest is fabulous. Unlike my MV Turismo Veloce 800 I’ve never stalled it. Great torque and fantastic clutch feel.

[@arthurdunga345]

Nice review my friend although i would prefer if you reved it a little more, above 4-5000 rpm to see the real power of the bike. How would you compare it to Africa Twin in matters of engine, handling and comfort?

[@markpulling12]

Hi I much prefer the engine and comfort of the guzzi...I think the honda has the edge on handling though Cheers mark

[@gerokatseros]

@@markpulling12 Thank you sir. I thought the africa engine had more punch in low revs

At 16:10 did the hazard lights come on automatically when you braked hard? Nice safety feature if so.

Good review Mark but there must be some negatives with the bikes you review. I never hear you say anything negative about any bike.

[@stevenbatley8666]

Lovely quality 👌

[@CCitis]

One day I will buy one of these bad boys

[@northof-62]

The old Stelvio was a fair bit heavier. And the wind protection lacked a bit on top. Improved engine, and dash/display unit is great too. But still, if I'm going to upgrade now, it'll be a lighter bike. Maybe the Suzuki 800DE or something. Going to miss shaft drive then.

[@ristokaragiannis7421]

Nice review ,nice bike.

[@aces928]

I insist on a shaft drive bike for occasional off pavement long distance riding, below 20k in price. Is there a better choice?

[@dirkhuman760]

Really nice! It has everything I'd want besides a centre stand. Good looker! Looks to be good quality. Does it cook your knees though?

[@podunkman2709]

Heavy as hell

[@Robinbamv]

As a V100s Mandello owner I have no doubt the bike is a superb machine. It’s the adventure bike concept that I don’t get, so few people use these bikes off road and for so little time that the comprise they have to make for road use so get the off road performance seems a little strange.

[@GJS-live]

I like adventure styling and ergonomics, but I agree that sports tourer set-up makes more sense.

[@GJS-live]

This is gorgeous but I think the V85TT would make more sense for an old git like me. Not as pretty or fast but great value.

Given that torque and power are directly proportional to each other, why sometimes refer to torque and at other times refer to power. You're not the only one. Motoring journalists have been doing this for decades.

[@doctorstrangelove8587]

Beautiful bike but only thing that keeps me off that model is that it does not have anti dive fork and imu .

[@phillipgarfoot9867]

Should have heated grips as standard on all new bikes

[@mmm357m]

unfortunately guzzi grips are not hot enough for winter riding, they are ok if you use muffs but without muffs once it drops below freezing even on highest setting you can't feel the heat out of them.

[@grahamariss2111]

I don't agree having used heated gloves that give you heat all over the hand and fingers for 4 hours I no longer desire heated grips.

[@BenJohnson-ym2qq]

@@grahamariss2111what gloves do you recommend?

[@grahamariss2111]

@@BenJohnson-ym2qq I recommend from my limited experience of owning one pair of heated gloves Macna Era RTX, can be bought as a kit and are waterproof and most importantly work. They are good enough for me on the battery but if you are riding 4+ hours you can power them from a 12 volt supply from the bike.

[@timbounds7190]

£15k and you don't get a centrestand as standard?? For that money, I'd expect a quickshifter as standard as well. If Suzuki can do so on their new medium range 800cc bikes, then MotoG can do it on a premium product! Otherwise, there are things to like on it, and things that.....I'm not so sure of! Maybe the engine character is a bit of an acquired taste, though I guess it works well.

[@michaeldobson8859]

I didn’t want to give you a Like but I did. You did not point out what is missing on the bike and criticize the Stelvio for lacking certain items for sure. Dynamic suspension for one, a center stand is an option on their flagship model?? Really. Does it have heated grips?? You made mention of how good it is at 2,000 rpm in the city but not that it lacks top end power for a 1,000 cc bike. Make an example of it like BMW came out in 2005 with the 1200 engine and it makes as much power as the Stelvio almost 20 years later, why is that Guzzi? Why a 1000 cc engine? Why is it not a 900 or a 1200 or 1300 cc engine with 150 hp? How do expect to compete, if you don’t size right?
