a few modifications from the V100, quickshifter apparently better.
tempting!

Fuel tank is apparently only 19 litres. A bit too small for me really. I would have liked another 2 or 3 litres to give a minimum 200 mile range.
yeah I noticed he said 5.1gal but thatās US not imperial, so less than the V85TT.
I used to get 300 miles regularly from a tankful on my ā77 Le Mans, I was surprised that my Pan Euro would not do the same (it was a 75mile commute, so either there and back twice or there and back once and fill up after the third leg).
Maybe itās a trend, my GS1250 only gets 200 and a few (though thatās mainly round-town commuting rather than the motorway commute I was doing on the Guzzi/Pan). I heard the guy say ā5.1 gallonsā and wondered if they were US.
I guess 200-220 miles is enough for most riders, most of the time.
Looks great. Looking forwards to seeing it at the Milan show
Better looking than the new GS
The official brochure states the tank is 21 ltd and a consumption of 5.1 l/100 km. That coverts to approximately 4.6 gal (UK) and 55 mpg. This gives a range of 250 miles, although I will be filling up at around 220.
Got mine ordered already. I love my V100S but owing to some left leg damage Iām struggling to ride more than 50mls without stopping to get the blood flowing in my leg again. No such problems on my V85.
I had a sit on one at the Milan show. It looks even better in the flesh. The riding position feels comfortable. comparable to my 950 Multistrada. The TFT is similar to the Mandello and the screen looks as though it will provide good protection. The seat height is 830mm 10mm lower than my multi. As mentioned it has a 21 litre tank. Interestingly the new V85 has a 23 litre tank.
No prices were released to my knowledge, unless you have an indication Wrinkley having ordered one.
my 2021 V85 has a 23l tank, I think they all do.
Yes they havenāt changed that bit on the new one.
No idea how much theyāre going to be. Iāll cross that bridge when we come to it.
If I was to Hazard a guess Iād say Ā£15000.
That was what I thought. There is a dealer taking order stating Ā£15,999, but saying prices to be confirmed
For those that are keen to take a look at the bike Deardenās near Southampton has a launch event in the New Year:
SAVE THE DATE - 24th January 2024, the new Launch of the Moto Guzzi Stelvio and Aprilia RS457, Dearden Motorcycles are pleased to invite you to the launch of these new machines, with presentation, refreshments and nibbles from 4.00 - 7pm
Iām going to see it in the flesh at Teasdales in Thirsk on the 16th Jan. I have no idea of price or when delivery is going to be.
I have a prediction for next year. The Stelvio S or NTX. Larger tank, semi active suspension, centre stand, engine bars and spotlights, luggage. 125bhp.
This is purely guess work on my part.
I will just add that I donāt like either of the colour combos and will be having mine wrapped in red and silver as a nod to the very first Stelvios.
I am going to Teasdales on 16th too. I saw it at ECIMA, but it will be interesting to find out the price. My guess is @ Ā£16k
I canāt see it being more than the Mandello S @ Ā£15 750. No electronic wings, no semi active suspension. Iām hoping more like Ā£14 750.
Not a bad guess, I didnāt see the extra Ā£1500 off though if ordered before 15th feb. Lovely bonus. I decided I donāt need two adventure style bikes so Iāve chopped my V85 for a V7 stone corsa. Strangely it has more leg room than the V100 mandello.
Nice one. Any indication when you will get your Stelvio?
Hopefully early March.
how do you find the v7 compared to the v85? easier handling, less power?
