The V85TT has less tech which for many owners is the appeal. Of course the Stelvio is fabulous, which Guzzi owner wouldn't want one.? But to make the jump from the V85TT to the Stelvio would take some persuading for me certainly. We love our V85TT's.
I agree, the V85TT has a lot of charm which this one doesn't but I do feel that when you sit on the V85TT it feels like that it sets you back 20 years in the past. Not necessarily a bad thing but you do feel the difference a lot.
@@droommotor , that I have no doubt. I have come from 'modern' machines ,tech, this tech that and found peace and calm with V85 ownership, I'm not waiting for something to go bang because it doesn't have anything. By law it has traction control and ABS and that's it. That's where it scores above many other bikes for me.
Very nice and balanced bike. Im starting to think it could be my next one. I test drove one Stelvio and liked it but I found the windshield to wooble a little bit too much. Did you notice the same issue?
Thanks for the review. Is the motorcycle's center of gravity up? How is it used in slow driving? Can we say easy? Or how about things like pushing while parked? My height is 175 cm. I am currently using Tiger Sport 660. Seat height 83.5 cm and i can almost make flat feet. Do you think Stelvio would be suitable for me?
It's an heavy bike. I'm absolutely sure the Tiger a a lot lighter and easier to manage. Especially when pushing the bike. In terms of seat height you can get a lower seat and adjust the height if i'm correct, but I recommend to try it at the dealer. Slow driving is fine, easily managable altough a bit high revs when cold.
I'm a happy V100S owner. If the Stelvio is only good for gravel roads, then the V100 is a much better choice for seeing the country. Other than, looking the part of an off road bike, why buy it?

not a full review and even so 30 minutes :D... Great review! you are comparing it wiht the V100 mandelo S that has the electronic suspension... that is a bit unfair... But I agree with you on the looks department... the v100 is prettier... It's like two twins, but one went on as a soccer player, and the other one an (american) football player :D
The adaptive cruise and the QS are EXTRA on the top version. Only PRE installed .... 🤷♂ Scooters that cost 1/4 Stelvio - have electric windshield, so the PRICE point, has not much to do wit it.
@@droommotor What I mean is - the bike manufacturers should not pump the price UP, because of electrically adjustable windshield. Even some cheap scooters have this function.

As a V85TT owner; this statement is true

Gear lash problem, alert...
We have one arriving soon for some product development work ;)
Very good! I think that will be an succes!
very good review 👍
Thanks!

I did notice that issue in a certain position but it really depended on the way it was positioned.

1.86 cm high? That's less than 1 inch. 😂 I understand that. I had the same problem when we changed from escudos to euros.
hahah I'm a really small guy apparently with a very big ego :)
Got me thinking too! The bike must be very low then or he is very short. 😅
Are your Gloves undone brother? I think my next bike is down to V100 or 1300GS.
That tab flapping on his glove is driving me nuts too 😂
It's an excellent personal evaluation otherwise!
Haha you are completely right! I'm sorry!
The Stelvio is half the price of the Beamer..
@@jansing327 Indeed but also completely different imho.
That is a SEXY bike...
It is!
Awesome bike, but nothing beats the V100
I agree!

Haha nice anology. It's unfair indeed but the price is very similar and I think a lot of people are in doubt to get the mandello or the Stelvio.
Make a 550 version.
I think they will never make such small engines anymore.

I think its good to compare the stelvio to similar bikes and not to scooters

@@sandwaves5642 Ahhh my bad! Yeah I totally agree!
