Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200
The Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 has a top speed of 210 km/h, produces 105 hp and weighs 259 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
De Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 werd in 2008 geïntroduceerd als Guzzi's intrede in het segment van avontuurlijke reizen, genoemd naar de beroemde Stelvio-bergpas in de Italiaanse Alpen. Hij werd gebouwd rond de beproefde 1151cc 90-graden V-twin-motor en was voorzien van asaandrijving, een kenmerk van Moto Guzzi-toerfietsen, waardoor hij zeer geschikt is voor lange afstanden. De NTX-variant kwam rond 2011 met vernieuwde elektronica en styling, en het model bleef in productie tot ongeveer 2017, beroemd om zijn karakteristieke Italiaanse techniek en allroad-capaciteiten.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Transverse V-Twin Power
The 1151cc 90-degree V-twin engine is mounted longitudinally, giving the Stelvio a unique low center of gravity and distinctive shaft-drive setup that eliminates chain maintenance entirely.
Watch the Throttle Bodies
Early models (2008-2011) are known for throttle body synchronization issues causing rough idle and stuttering — always verify this has been properly serviced or updated before buying.
Stable Resale Value
The Stelvio holds its value reasonably well due to its cult following and limited production numbers, but its niche appeal means the buyer pool is smaller, so pricing must be competitive to sell quickly.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
Introductie van 1151cc V-twin, stalen buisframe, 50 mm vorken, ABS optioneel, focus op avontuurlijke reizen.
"Een avontuurlijke avonturier met gebreken die geduldige ruiters beloont."
De transversale V-twin van 1151 cc slaat de bochten uit met die onmiskenbare Guzzi-dreun — krachtig, karaktervol en echt plezierig als je eenmaal leert werken met de asaandrijving bij gasklepovergangen. Met 259 kg nat water is dat een grote uitdaging op technische paden, en het optionele ABS-systeem voelt volgens de normen van 2008 agrarisch aan, maar als je twee keer over bergpassen rijdt, is hij kalm, ongehaast en zeer comfortabel voor lange dagen. De vorken van 50 mm rijden prachtig over Europees asfalt, hoewel ze vaag aanvoelen als de weg overgaat in los grind — dit is in feite een roadtourer die avontuurlijke kleding draagt. Ik heb in twee seizoenen 18.000 km gereden en vond hem geweldig, ondanks de eigenaardigheden, maar de hitte van die blootgestelde cilinders tijdens stadsritten in de zomer is terecht wreed.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Flawed, characterful, and deeply rewarding for the right rider."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe Stelvio 1200 is one of those bikes that rewards patience and forgiveness in equal measure. That big 90-degree V-twin pulls hard from low revs and sounds genuinely spectacular, but it's the character that gets you — this thing vibrates, transmits, and communicates in ways modern adventure bikes simply don't. Torque is abundant, handling is surprisingly competent for a tall bike, and the shaft drive means zero chain maintenance headaches on long tours. Used examples need careful scrutiny though. Check the bevel drive housing for leaks, inspect the throttle bodies for flat spots, and verify the alternator belt has been serviced — it's a known weak point that gets ignored. Earlier models had mediocre suspension that benefits hugely from aftermarket upgrades. Electronics are basic by today's standards, fuel economy is modest, and the gearbox needs deliberate, firm shifts or it'll clunk angrily at you. Budget for a full service immediately after purchase.
