Two easy questions…… Is it possible that the ECU programming cause the engine to start knocking ? Is it possible that the factory mapping could become corrupt or partially corrupt and cause engine knocking ? Thank you !
From wikipedia: the terms longitudinal engine and transverse engine are most often used to refer to the crankshaft orientation relative to the frame.[14][self-published source?][15] However, some companies use the opposite terminology, stating that a "transverse" V-twin engine has the cylinders mounted on each side of the motorcycle (therefore with the crankshaft running in line with the frame) and that a "longitudinal" V-twin engine has the cylinders at the front and rear.[16] The latter terminology is used by the Italian manufacturer Moto Guzzi.[17] To avoid such ambiguity, some people use descriptions of "transverse crankshaft engine", "longitudinal crankshaft engine",[14][18] or "transversely mounted cylinders".[19]
@@Victor-vf1fiIt is a longitudinally mounted engine, having the same orientation as a V8 engine in an automobile. In line fours, threes, and two's are transverse , in bikes just as in front wheel drive automobiles.
These are nice bikes but I saw one struggling to get up a windy mountain pass in Washington state. Guy looked pretty haggard at the next rest stop. I was perfectly comfy on my R1250RS
@@drewyager4020 weeeeel that's a rider fault I guess. No amount of wind would keep this from going 70mph.. could be that it's very light but doubt that also 😅 I get thrown around Abit on my KTM 990 smt in the wind..but that's a light supermoto touring thing(if you can call it that😂)
Love these detailed, deep-dive reviews! Seriously, this bike looks wonderful - deserves more coverage.
I own a 2020 V85TT Travel, which I love. The Stelvio is the logical upgrade someday. I love Moto Guzzi and will never leave the brand.
Just bought this, my first Guzzi. Loving it so far, I think I like riding this bike more than the Triumph Tiger 1200, at least for shorter distances.
Great motor for sure, picked up a Mandello S last week and loving it
thanks great concise review
A very good bike overall. Test rode it. Those interested can check it. :) Cheers.

It is a longitudinal mounted engine, not transverse mounted.
beautiful bike.
Did you test it at 30°C .... ??
It’ll have no issues. I ride a couple of older air cooled Guzzi in 30c+ weather each summer. This modern one will be just as fine.
@@Deetroiter Agreed; here in Western Australia I ride my (air-cooled) '05 Guzzi Breva 750 in temps over 40C without any issues.
It's water cooled! 😉
Did they finally put a fuel guage on this new bike?
?
of course
The stelvio 2010 had fuel gauge
Still like the old one NTX better
Correction: Longitudinal v-twin.

Unfortunately, the factory refers to it as transverse.....

Your point is .....
Struggling? Was he pushing it? Seems unlikely that it would struggle on a paved road
how exactly did it stuggle? xD
@@sverremoe4087 he could not maintain the speed limit which was 70MPH and getting blown all over the road by wind

Just say Moto Guzzi correctly. 🤌🏼
