Definitely a contender for some decent soft panniers to keep weight low.
As did BMW on the early R-series bikesAndylaser said:The offset suspension doesn't worry me. Kawasaki and Yamaha have used offset shocks on their bikes before without and adverse affect.
I suspect the swinging arm on this will be pretty stiff and shouldn't cause any issues with the asymmetric design.

I’ve had a Stelio and partner still has hers. The oil cooler (radiator) is centrally mounted like it is on water cooled bikes behind the forks on upper part of the frame under the tank. No fan blade on the Stelvio and to fair we never had any over heating problems. A good bike with loads of character let down for me on a few reliability issues that should never have been the case hence why I went for the S10. However I do miss it!Dogdaze said:Guzzi's have an oil cooler on the right hand side, at least the Stelvio did.......
You're right, I was thinking of the Griso...... My bike, if my Knees would allow itStridey said:I’ve had a Stelio and partner still has hers.

model MG Stelvio mk2 8 valve model (4 per cyl) year 2011 32 litre fuel tank.Andylaser said:What issues did you have?
Agree a good looking bike as are most Italian cars /bikes. I would wait a year after it’s out so the problems with new engine drive shaft etc are sorted out!stutrump said:The V85 is SO good looking. I really want one. My S10 is an excellent workhorse but Ive never been excited by its looks and thats important to me. I dont care how might car looks but my bike needs to look good
