Moto Guzzi Stelvio 2024

Moto Guzzi Stelvio 2024

Italian character meets modern touring suitability; the Moto Guzzi Stelvio is a successful blend of traditional Guzzi charm and modern technology. Its superior engine, extensive features and outstanding comfort make it a great companion for relaxed long-distance rides. Although it weighs a fair amount and requires a surcharge for some features, it remains an attractive option for touring riders who prioritise character and style.

Characterful, smooth V2 engine with linear power delivery

Modern electronics including connectivity and LED Cornering lights

Comfortable, long-distance ergonomics, ideal for taller riders

Electronically adjustable windscreen - flexible for different speeds

Great handling despite the higher weight

High weight noticeable in tight hairpins and when manoeuvring

rear brake with long idle travel, particularly noticeable in tight bends

despite all-road ambitions, limited off-road capability due to suspension and ground clearance

BMW R 1200 GS 2015

BMW R 1200 GS 2015

A GS is at home almost anywhere - but only to a limited extent on the racetrack. It's a pleasure to feel the power of the partially water-cooled boxer twin cylinder on the exit of the bend - 125 hp only seems much weaker on paper than 150 or even 160 hp on the competition. With 125 Newton metres of torque, the acceleration from the bottom is superb anyway and the GS, at 238 kilos ready to ride, does not carry too much flab despite its bulky appearance. In very tight corners, the low centre of gravity also has a positive effect - the BMW R 1200 GS is very hard to crack! Even the front telelever suspension, which suppresses the front wheel's tendency to sink in when braking, fits perfectly into the overall package on the GS and can only slightly detract from its sporty character.
