So Iv'e just ordered a Moto Guzzi, If anyone wants my black 07 Ully with only 2312 miles on it, all they have to do is bid say £250 more than the 4k the dealer is giving me in part x. In addition I have a low seat, workshop manual and still boxed and unused Quill zorst |

Go back to the dealer and tell him you want to do a cash deal....bet he'll sell the bike to you cheaper for cash !! Then you can advertise your Buell cheaper and so sell it quicker ! Is it a Griso you're getting ??? Eric. |

Manual say £10 plus postage but the seat has just been recovered with a double density foam, supposed to be better than gell, Iv'e ridden it twice since, so say £100 plus postage, which is cheaper than the recovering so the seat is free! Iv'e just bought a Stelvio with the new engine mapping, test rides are hard to come by but eventually took the better half 40 miles, she is not as impressed as she was with a Victory and the Victory is IMO built better but I can't do this feet forward bit. There aint enough two cylinder bikes that are still big enough for two! |

A friend bought a new Stelvio, sold it on pretty quick afterwards and is now on a F800GS which he seems to like - but he's time and money on his hands to swap as often as he wants and he's retired semi-young !! Some of the more modern BMW's more than hold their own in terms of performance and some are more armchair like...depends on what you're looking for. I lke the newer K models (not twins) which are very nippy ! Eric. |

hmm, i tested a Stelvio with the 8v engine before deciding to buy a Ulysses - it didnt excite me much and it doesnt corner as well - all the usable extra grunt is above 5k and it just seems wrong having to rev a guzzi. It was more comfortable though. |

 The Stelvio is ok, there are a few faults as with any new bike, I find the shaft drive very unforgiving when you put the power on or off, no stretch like a belt but you get used to a bit more finesse!The screen is an abortion, noise and buffeting all the time, Iv'e replaced it with aftermarket items, cut it down, made spoilers and now decided its got to come off. This however, does not appear peculiar to any make, the stratosphere seems full of blogs complaining about naf screens. The new cams cure the power delivery, its now linear, much smoother and more powerful than the Buel. Iv'e more than doubled the amount of miles I cover, use it all the time and Sue is always ready for a ride (bet that gets a comment or two!) and joy! there is no fan to embarrass you every time you stop. It is different and an acquired taste, much like the Buel, I would certainly have bought another Buel and I would buy another Guzzi. Everyone has a kawayamahon, I like to be different and will endure a few 'quirks' because you meet a better class of anorak.
