Btw the weight is higher for NTX on the paper because all the accessories are included (engine and carc protectors, bash plate and even the cases), without these, Stelvio is lighter than GS, BMW sells all the accessories separately. Moto Guzzi just isn't fu*king around with you...
The Bike Show has become the very best channel on you tube, self depreciating humor, scooter and touring motorcycle track days it all works even if it is the wrong way round sometimes
BMW copied a lot from Guzzi, the paralever was copied from Guzzi-Magni parallelogram swing arm. CARC was much more advanced than BMW's paralever shaft drive. Stelvio was BMW killer and still is.
Point taken, I say it to take the mick out of myself a bit, but don't worry, I'm still young at heart and can still get a shift on when needs be. But I'll stop referencing my apparent mid-life crisis so often...
Great review of the Stelvio. A terribly under rated bike that Moto Guzzi did a lousy job of advertising & supporting. They should have upgraded with cruise control & at least as an option, electronic suspension, and more options to make more off road worthy (better crash bars...). The R&D was there from Aprilla & yet no upgrades over the years. Piaggio seems to be doing all they can to put the company out of business.
Great review! I hope you have a chance to ride the Moto Guzzi Norge. I've put 15k miles on my year old Norge and find it a fantastic sport tourer and all round bike.
I like these reviews but some advice to the host with the grey hair (Matt?). You need to stop mentioning your advancing age in every video because you are alienating your audience and rendering yourself obsolete. I don't think you're too old, but when you bring it up you make me think that maybe you are.

I love my Stelvio! Today like the first day!

Cruise and a gear display on the dash would be a great start.
