Looks Intresting....8.5 gallon tank.

Friend of mine has a Stelvio, 2010 I think. Not as trick as the NTX version but he loves it. Some really nice design elements in Guzzi bikes.

8.5 gallon tank?! Damn, that's almost as much as my Fiat Abarth!!

Man, that bike is a monster! I like it, but once again......way out of my price range.

Kswaid and I saw one of these at the Twisted Throttle open house.

With the bags attaches the back end had to be about 4 feet wide...it was unreasonable.

Beautiful bike, poorly designed side bag system.

The widest part of the barely used 2010 Stelvio I looked at were the mirrors. They didn't look trivial to replace since they had integrated turn signals. IIRC 41" across. It was the deal killer for me. The tiny tank/poor fuel tank range was a negative, but I'd budgeted for an aux tank. 2012 models (& 2011 euro models) all get a bigger tank.

That one I think had Jesse side cases, and IIRC they were narrower than the mirrors.

Guzzi also has its share of quirks, maybe more than its share. That same friend with a Stelvio used to have a Norge, and that bike had a habit of dropping its factory luggage without warning. Oops -- there it goes bounding down the shoulder and into the woods! Checking the oil (dipstick, not a sight glass) required removing several body panels, about twenty minutes off and on. Eye candy often comes at a practical cost.

$16k/600lbs... no thank you.

I sat on one but couldn't get it up off the side stand. Kinda cool, but not for me. A V7 Stelvio? That might work!
