It all starts from the style, made more modern tank softening volumes and integrating them with the light bodywork, now marked by the regular lines and soft confluent with the dual front headlight. The latter, a distinctive feature of the design of the Stelvio is the only detail inherited from the previous version. I am completely new to the fairing, windshield and fairing with integrated turn signals all contribute to give the front of the Stelvio MY2011 espressone a new, more aggressive and dynamic. It follows an original style but above all, more functional and versatile attributes of this type of models are of particular importance. From an objective point of view the style of the new land brings with it two important advances over the previous version, a more efficient aerodynamic protection with the new screen and battery life almost doubled due to the new tank from the record capacity of 32 liters.

In this latest release is another important feature low noise and smooth running by working on the electronic management, distribution and cooling. The new integrated ignition and injection control unit uses signals from two hours oxygen sensors to ensure accurate power throughout the combustion cycle, improving throttle response, the payment schemes as well as intermediate consumption and emissions .

Motorcycle Road Tests Index

I just added 13 motorcycle road test entries to my Motorcycle Road Tests Index.

These give information about where you can find the actual motorcycle road tests in the major motorcycle magazines. Also given are links to online motorcycle road tests.

Check out the following links, just added:

2008 Models: H-D Rocker C, Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS, and Kawasaki KLR650

2007 Models: Benelli TnT 1130, BMW F800ST, Ducati 1098S, Ducati Multistrada 1100S, Kawasaki Z1000, KTM 450 EXC, Kymco Xciting 500, Moto Guzzi Norge 1200, Suzuki Bandit 1250S ABS, and Suzuki GSX-R1000.

Piaggio Recalls Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 for Electrical Shorting Problem

Piaggio has issued a recall of certain 2007-2008 Moto Guzzi Norge 1200 motorcycle models equipped with Triom headlights, low beam bulb and headlight reflectors.

The headlight low beam bulb has a "pigtail" wire attached to it. This wire connects the low beam bulb to the motorcycle's wiring harness. It may touch the hardware used to secure the bulb in the reflector. Over time and vibration the insulation may wear through causing the direct short to ground.

646 units are affected.

Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

Moto Guzzi Recalls 232 Griso Motorcycles for Fuel Pump Defect

Moto Guzzi has issued a recall of certain 2006-2007 Griso motorcycles.

On certain motorcycles, a fuel pump hose may swell and change dimensions, thereby loosening its fit around the fitting at the fuel pump. The fuel pressure could drop. This could cause erratic motor operation, difficulty in starting the vehicle or stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.

232 units are affected.

Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

Moto Guzzi Recalls 1044 EV Motorcycles for Fork Yoke Defect

Moto Guzzi has issued a recall of certain 2003-2004 EV motorcycles.

On certain motorcycles, the lower fork yoke could fail. A crack can form around the lower fork bearing.

1044 units are affected.

Check out my Motorcycle Recalls feature for more details.

This was the shows biggest surprise. Nobody was really expecting a range of concept bikes . . . certainly not from Guzzi and good old Pierre Terblanche, the father of many loved and not-so-loved Ducatis. He was called to collaborate on the project with current Piaggio head of design, Miguel Galuzzi. Based on the current 1200 cc cam-in-head mill, the three bikes share the same aluminum frame (two castings welded at the center). The red V12LM (for Le Mans) is the sporty one, the green V12X is a big supermoto of sorts, while the silver V12 Strada is the only one with room for a passenger (and therefore the one that could be closer to production). Nice to see exciting stuff on the horizon from Guzzi. A brand that really deserves more success.
