MCN Test: Moto Guzzi Stelvio group test

To see where the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio fits into the adventure tourer world, we took it, a BMW R1200GS, KTM 990 Adventure and Triumph Tiger to Italy to visit the world famous Stelvio Pass.

Of course, we checked to see if it was open first...

Watch the video below to see how the group test went and read the full article in MCN, Wednesday, 9 April, 2008

This report told me absolutely nothing! The riders seem more verbally challenged than vertically challenged. What is the point of getting sports bike riders on these? what do they know about VBTs...."like two wheel Landrovers"...what with around 400bhp per tonne? Wally. The KTM is the odd one out, being off-road bias, the others on-road bias. None of these numpties have a clue, and are totally sold on the BMW image.

What a waste of space! I was looking at the 'Guzzie' yesterday as a serious contender against the Beemer GS. I had hoped this test would provide me with some useful feedback - wrong. Couldn't agree more with some of the comments below - loved the 'verbally challenged' comment. Absolute waste of time for what could have been a great 4 way comparison!

In the end, I'm still unsure which way to go - heart says Guzzie, previous experience says Beemer! Go Guzzie, beautiful bike.

MCN reminds me of MotoUSA. They both spend time and money doing totally pointless video "reviews". These things even hardly qualify as a summary, there's just nothing here at all.

They have no idea what they're talking about.

Very disappointing - hope these guys didn't get paid. Another 5 minutes of my life wasted that MCN now owe me.

And you call that a serious test?!

MCN reviews are always pretty lame, but this one takes lameness to new heights. Terrible!

I love that, they are both sports bike riders, both of them with great floppy beer guts. Thank god their bikes have engines or those two would be having heart attacks.

¿Cuando son las oposiciones para probador? Te dejan unas motazos de puta madre, quedan con los amiguetes para tomar unas birras y encima te pagan.

Si de paso ligas, debe ser la ostia.
