Moto Guzzi Stelvio

The Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 is a dual-sport motorcycle built by Moto Guzzi from 2007 to 2016. It was introduced in November 2007 at the EICMA show in Milan for the 2008 model year and is named after the alpine Stelvio Pass. Its four-valve engine, taken from the Griso and Breva series, is an air and oil cooled transverse 90 degree V-twin of 1,151 cubic centimetres rated at 79.4 kW at 7,500 rpm, with a shaft drive integrated into a single-sided swingarm. The chassis is a tubular steel frame with the engine as a load-bearing member, a Marzocchi upside-down fork and a Sachs-Boge monoshock. The NTX variant added hand guards, a sump guard, aluminium panniers, a larger screen and wire-spoke wheels. Reviewers saw it as a capable but heavy rival to the BMW R1200GS.
