Welcome in Guzz, I really like the Stelvio, Nomad has one but it lives in France, dont see many on these shores.

Welcome to the forum Guzz

Unusual machine - don't think i've seen one in the flesh. Nice to see a fellow D&G'er on the forum, i'm from Moffat originally but i'm doing missionary work amongst the Weegies just now :laugh: :whistle:

You're not alone now :cheer:

Had my 08 Stelvio since the end of 2009, this was yesterday in the Peak District. Retaxed it from 1st March, started first time after 4 months lay up.
I've had the usual Stelvio niggles, best fix yesterday to take the free play out of the throttle, not more surging at low revs :cheer:
I've changed the end can for a Quill unit, fitted Givi racks, larger screen, home made hugger (rear shock protector).
Done a few hundred metres off road on it, its a bit heavy (esp 2 up at low speed) and I'm not that proficient yet.
Get around 45mpg, better in the summer - it like warmer weather, but limit is tank size at 18 litres, did get 180 miles on 16 litres on one long motorway run.
