Hey Guy, check out this e-mail I received!
Dear Sir/Madam: August 10th. I very much enjoyed reading the information on the new Motoguzzi Stelvio. I bought a new Motoguzzi Quota 1100 in Feb. 2000 and the riding with the Quota has been very enjoyable. A little problem with the rear wheel rim but Motoguzzi covered the repair even after the motorcycle was long past it's warrantee. I was very pleased with their help. I have done a few modifications to the Quota. I lowered the exhaust muffler so a larger 40 litre bag could fit on the right side. I also added accerbus hand guards. They fit just like they were designed by Motoguzzi. Parrabelium windshield helps in the long distance rides.
I would like to ask you about your Hepco and Becker luggage bags shown in your photo on the Stelvio. These bags are tough and rugged. They are the same style of bags I have on my Quota. I think they are a better bag than the optional bag made by Motoguzzi for the Stelvio.
Where did you order these bags from? Did the bag frame come with the bag or did you have to order those separately?.Also the top box looks very good. Your choice of muffler is very nice. Where did you order this muffler from? I sure when approaching a group of BMW riders they will wonder what was that as you cruised by them. Even with my Quota, other riders tell me it sounds strong.
Soon the Stelvio will be in our Motoguzzi dealers here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Thanks for the great write up. Please forward any info you have to my e-mail here in Calgary. howkath@shaw.ca
Your Black Stelvio is stunning and I'm sure the BMW GS would cosy up to it at night just to here the fine tunes of the Stelvio's exhaust. Enjoy your ride,
Howard Rymes

Stelvio
A new threat to the Stelvio has arrived, the Moto Morini Granpasso 1200:

and I have to admit to being smitten by this machine. By all accounts it wont only be price competitive with the Stelvion, it may be cheaper! De-tuned from 140bhp to a gruntier midrange of 120bhp and with Ohlins shockie too.
