    Moto Guzzi Stelvio & Moto Morini Granpasso

    Was down at 3X motorcycles today, had a good old look at the Moto Morini GranPasso, now that is a real sexy looking motorbike, apparently it goes like **** as well.

    Has anyone seen the Guzzi Stelvio in the flesh, that also looks like an interesting bike as well.

    I am real happy with my V Strom but in a few years time when i can pick a nice used, heavily depreciated Granpasso or Stelvio who knows...........

    Speak to STuart 12345678910111213141516 his Stelvio is stunning and sounds fantastic, and he had better sales help than BMW

    Met up with Stu on a recent camping trip in the lakes and he was on his guzzi and i had a wee sit on it, it's a lot lower seating position than the strom and the handlebars are wider. It felt comfortable and i thought it was a really nice looking bike (pics don't do it justice trust me) it does sound really good, more grunty than the strom and following Stu through some country lanes i can assure you it's no slouch either.

    I'm sure Stu will be along shortly to praise his nice new machine

    I have a Stelvio and really like it, but I would personaly prefer the power to kick in earlier, Everyone who looks at it says words to the effect of "It look so much better in the flesh than in the photos,
    I've fitted hand guards since this photo was taken.

    I couldn't agree more, It really is a well thought out bike, Its all the bits of attention to detail that make the difference

    Couldn't that be sorted out with engine remapping?

    I saw Stuart's Stelvio this weekend - and it's true - photo's dont do it justice.

    It's one good looking bike.

    Apparently it's pretty quick too.
