- In this video, I'm excited to share with you all about my latest purchase: a 2009 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 4V. It's a motorcycle that many people haven't heard about, but I believe it's one of the craziest bikes out there.
I found this bike on Facebook Marketplace and couldn't pass up the great deal. It has a unique style and design, with a powerful 1200cc engine and four valves per cylinder, giving it an impressive performance on the road.
Throughout this video, I'll take you through all the features and highlights of this bike, including its impressive suspension, comfortable riding position, and top-notch handling. I'll also share my personal experiences and thoughts on the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 4V after owning and riding it for some time.
So if you're a fan of motorcycles, or just interested in learning about some of the lesser-known models out there, be sure to watch this video and discover why the Moto Guzzi Stelvio 4V is truly one of the craziest bikes on the market today.

I have a 2009 Stelvio - closest thing to a Ferrari that I’ll ever own. Makes my 1200 GS feel like an appliance.
Great choice! I bought one of these last year, a 2009, took it from Norway to Venice, Italy with two up, rode like a dream! It's a keeper for sure! ❤
Are there any down side stuff worth mentioning? Is it easy with spare parts etc... how is the space if you are tall, I am 6ft5 myself. it looks nicer that the BMW 1250 GS. Cheers from me in Norway
@@bikerman6907 the seat height is adjustable , but not as high as GS. Parts are no problem, but as with all bikes getting older, some trouble could be expected I suppose. Used parts can be available, and Norsk Moto Guzzi Klubb has members with extreme knowledge and even the oddest parts laying around, it seems!
@@dagveidal3721 thanks my Brother 👍😊
On start-up and out on the road, it still sounds like a T-3 or an SP1000.
This is a lovely machine.
I am not sure I would describe the motor as transverse. The crank is mounted in line with the direction of travel.
Nonetheless, a nice video about a lovely machine.
Enjoy it!
Thank you from Italy ... la Stelvio è una gran moto!
Hey mate I loved your vid especially cus you had the balls to buy something unique, uncommon and Italian she's a beauty. I feel ya as I have an Aprilia Caponord 1200 and rode across Australia and it did me proud and I love it. So that all said I am super keen to see the new Guzzi V100 Stelvio esp as Aprilia & Guzzi have put their heads together for that one. Anyways congrats on your awesome purchase and safe riding my man!
Great bike and a well done video. Enjoyed it. Just keep going. Like deserved.
p.s. Just rode the V100 Mandello. Have to edit the video soon. Drop by to see my other Guzzi test rides. :)
By the way, as standard, only one of the High Beams is connected.
If you look at the Wiring Diagram, the R/H one only has two Wires going to it (Low Beam Power & Earth), the L/H one has three.
Have you found the Glovebox yet?
Ignition on, Bike in Neutral, press the Switch on the lower front of the L/H Switchgear.
That 'lump' on the R/H side of the Tank Cover opens up, there's a useful little Cubby-Hole under it.
Learn about the Roller rocker upgrade, they all (Pre 2013) need it done. The Flat tappets that are fitted will fail , they all do eventualy some early some later. Just did mine & a Beetle map also, made it so much better.
I have a 2021 V7 Centrinario it is as you described, visceral.
I've had my 2012 Stelvio 1200 NTX since new in Australia. The only 'major' problem I've had is a failed starter motor which I easily replaced - the bike is so easy to work on as cylinders stick out and no fairing. I've done quite a few modifications to it including an ECU re-map to smooth out the throttle - got from GuzziTech in Orange, Calfornia and recommend contacting Todd Eagan who knows a lot about Guzzi's.
Appreciate the info!
Great video and awesome bike Vitale! Last year I was looking for a new motorcycle and your video actually contributed in buying a 2009 Stelvio NTX. Since then I’m in love with it - what an impressive machine! So thank you very much for that 🙂
If I may ask: do you still own and ride your Stelvio?
Good stuff
I just bought one for 2,900 I'm so happy
Stelvio je planinska cesta između Italije i švicarske,i mislim daje to najljepša cesta na svjetu
I bet it is! Maybe one day I will take the Motto Guzzi Stelvio there!
Guzzi 👍💥 moto con una grande tradizione 1921
I found one! Would you recommend it for a beginner? Kinda hard to find something comfortable at 6ft 34in inseam. This looks good for my height imo
On the one hand I'm trying to answer your question, but on the other hand I'm also writing this for anyone else who might read this.
The Stelvio is a very well-behaved and somewhat forgiving bike, but it's enormous. You're going to make a lot of mistakes for the first few years you ride on the road, so it's best to make those mistakes on a smaller and lighter and less expensive bike. You'll probably drop the bike a few times in your driveway, or in a parking lot, or a gas station, so this is where a light bike is advantageous and less likely to be dropped in the first place. A heavy bike is significantly harder to handle than a light bike when you're going slowly, so the propensity on a heavy bike is to go fast. Fast = dangerous, moreso when you lack experience. I dropped my Stelvio in my driveway once and my wife had to help me pick it up.
Something to consider is the location of the nearest repair shop. It's a 2.5-hour drive to get my Stelvio to the nearest Guzzi shop. You can do a lot of maintenance on the Stelvio yourself (valve adjustment is a snap), but the things you can't do yourself will be quite expensive. My last tune-up with new tires and sorting out a minor electrical problem came to $2000, and over 5 hours of trailering the bike to and fro.
There are footpeg lowering options that will fit nearly any bike, and some bikes let you adjust the seat up & down by an inch or two. The Buell Blast is an excellent beginner-friendly 500cc bike that has a high-seat option. Last year my wife got an '07 VStrom 650 (it's her third bike in 6 years, first with a Rebel 300 and then a Himalayan 400) and that one is an astonishingly nice ride, and you can get parts and service anywhere. It might be on the heavy side for a beginner bike, but it's much easier to manage than the Stelvio.
I'd recommend starting with a small and cheap bike, but something in the 300cc - 500cc range so that you're not an obstacle on the highway. Then spend your money on high quality gear (gloves, helmet, padded jacket, thick jeans at the very least, good boots) and always wear it. Remember ATGATT: all the gear all the time. Dress for the slide, not for the ride (stupid rhyme, but it's true). If it's too hot outside and you want to skip wearing all the gear, then don't ride. That will ensure you survive to buy your second motorcycle.
Nice bike!!
Thank you!
Are you sure there is no standard ABS on V4? What is the mileage? I see 838860. It is miles or km? That is kind of impressive. I guess the overall quiality can be compared to much more expensive GS 1200.
The previous owner stated that the display had a malfunction and shows 8 for some reason. The motorcycle actually has 38k miles. I took his word for it because the motorcycle looks in great condition for 38k miles, let alone 838k miles!
Hey i noticed a red warning light on the top right of the dashboard. What is it?
I'm still trying to figure that one out. Seems like its illuminating from a blown out light because I also get another error for that, but there are no lights that are blown out!
@@Vitalewastaken is there a drawing on the warning light? It should mean something
@@Vitalewastaken That red triangle is a shift light, you can adjust what rpm it comes on in the menu system. I recently got the same bike, my first 1000cc + bike, they are great! Enjoy putting miles on yours!
Thanks for pronouncing Guzzi correctly! Nice ride!
Thank you! Had to look it up to make sure I was saying it right.
Great Guzzi. Where do you live? looks beautiful
Los Angeles!
@@Vitalewastaken California, the place everyone dreams about 😎👍🏻
Has it been "rollerized"
Yes, it has by the previous owner!
the motto is: moto!
Sorry dude, but the craziest Italian bike at this category is Moto Morini Grannpasso 1200. Believe me....
Greetings from Greece.
There's not a lot of them around. Also built quality of Granpasso isn't the best. But the engine is cool though.
@@vvevvevvvv You are absolutely right my friend. The quality of the bike isn't the best but the engine......is pretty cool and powerful.
Shhhhhhhhhh Don't tell people how good these bikes are.....keeps the price down.
NOT TRANSVERS! Harley motor is Transvers mounted. 4 sylinders Honda Transvers. Paralell twin Transvers mounted.
Way is this so hard to understand?? The crankshaft gives you the answer.
Please consider keeping your hands out of the frame. It's abrupt and distracts from the bike .
Good buy
Fit and finish, high quality parts that's what I think of when I think moto guzzi. I got a v7 racer
Awesome!
Just wondering how you would define " transverse " on an engine.
Because, the engine is in fact a longitudinally placed engine....just so you know.
Very nice bike b.t.w.
In car terms you would be right. Just wanted to make the point that the engine is not mounted in the same direction like most motorcycles.
@@Vitalewastaken But it doesn't matter if you relate to car terms, motor bike terms, or any other. The placing of the crankshaft determines if an engine is a transversely placed engine, or a longitudinal one. So, in this case it's the latter.
