    I've owned this bike about a month, and love it. The acceleration, the tip in to corners, the brakes, the sound, the looks, it's all superb. That said, the suspension is a bit of a weakness on what is otherwise a premium bike. Not terrible, just comparable to my Versys 650. I knew that going in, and that Guzzi will bring out the Ohlins edition later, but I couldn't wait. On the seat, it is plush and comfortable for short rides, but the gel is a bit too soft and the material too grabby for long rides, IMO. I'm getting between 40.4 and 40.7 miles per gallon (US gallons) riding in sport mode, Moto Guzzi claims 46, haha.

      I agree, as a owner of multiple bike, 2 being moto guzzis which I ride the most, but they are not premuim bikes and priced accordingly and worth every penny though. I would class Ducati and MV and Harley Davidson and £15k plus Bmw,s as Premuim bikes.

      @@checker3694 I know what you mean, but with the Mandello and Stelvio I think MG is trying to move into the premium range. The "look and feel" is already there. I expect an up-specced Stelvio soon that will have the better suspension and also the quick-shifter, heated grips etc as standard. That will invite serious comparison to the best touring bikes.

    • @checker3694
      @checker3694 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @LateApexChiangMai I think where they are at now in price ladder is spot on, moving into Ducati and BMW neighbourhood would mean raising plastic, paint, switchgear, and fixtures and fittings and Germanic build and quality Ducati being vw group but italian and raising warranty to 3 plus years would mean raising prices 40%, that end of the Market is solid, though now outpriceing itself.
      Guzzis are excellent value for money now, and always better end of riding season when piaggio discount heavily to shift end of year stock.

    Riding a Ducati Multistrada V2S (950) after three GSs I’ve fallen in love with Italian bikes, they really do have something special about them. Testing one of these in the New Year alongside its sibling the V100 Mandello, the Stelvio needs a ‘S’ version using the Ohlins suspension.

    That flashing cruise light on the dash REALLY peed me off on the Mandello so I'd be cutting a 1cm square of insulation tape and popping it on the dash. I hope that doesn't BANG into 1st like the Mandello did (some call it "character"....my ar#e 😅)
    If it wasn't for those two bits, I'd have bought it. Quickshifters don't do it for me personally, not as smooth as I can change and I like to preload gears before changing for smoothness. I actually prefer the looks of this over the Mandello.

    Great test, I get fed up with some tests always grumbling about insignificant details. Your test was more to my liking enjoyed it a lot. I am a mite long in the tooth for M/Cs but have a lot of experience in the past. Best I ever owned was a new Vincent Black Knight back around 1955 at £358 those days. Sadly due to marriage a few years later we had to part company, but at the time I was surprised to get the same as I paid for it when sold. My wife passed away too early in life and I went back to two wheels BMW, Honda, and so on. Now getting too close to the ton, I just get satisfaction looking at M/Cs and think back to the past.
    So keep at it, we only live once. Best wishes and thanks for the posting. Lastly I love V-Twins and the Stelvio is the one I favour.

    Great review. I test rode one of these two weeks ago. Love the engine transmission suspension frame package. Moto Guzzi have the fueling spot on!
    The ancillary functions are a bit clunky to use ( cruise control, stepping through menus etc).
    I actually bought the Mandello S...In the end 95% of my riding is on-road, and for the bit I do off-road, a Honda CRF300 would be a better fit, and do a better job.
    I'm loving the Mandello, but the Stelvio is a great bike.

  • @sandwaves5642
    @sandwaves5642 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Nice review. The bike is unarguably, very nice to look at - if not the best looking out there... ! How ever - they SHOULD have sold this bike READY TO GO, without the need for paying MORE for "extras".... to make it really attractive. Quick Shifter should be there. Adaptive Cruise Control should be there. Center stand and at least a Givi mount for top-box, should, also, be ON IT ! - since it's a TRAVEL bike. I think Piaggio has made a strategic error, by not including those things in the price, because if they are purchased as extras, the price is nearing the BMW 1300 GS that HAS all that ! - and that bike is a feather - to manually move around ( garage...P-places..) comp. to the top-heavy Stelvio.... 🤷‍♂

    Hi Dave, great review, I love this bike, thinking of upgrading, however I have a V85TT and its not been a great experience, quite disappointing performance which wouldn't be an issue with the Stelvio but the reliability is not good, 2 months+ waiting for parts, expensive parts at that, not what you expect with a modern new bike. It may be the Africa Twin for me, or back to a GS??

    I have a v85 and I am very happy with this. I wanted to buy this because of the better wind protection and more hp's. So I have made a test drive and I was a bit disappointed. Mainly because of the kloenk from the neutral to first gear and the corresponding move forwards (with the clutch 100%). I have read more comments about this. I hope guzzi will solve this. Did you experience the same?
