2011 Moto Guzzi Motorcycle

It may live in the shadow of better-known and more-established adventure bikes, but the 2011 Moto Guzzi Stelvio 1200 ABS is a proficient machine that is more than capable of holding its own on the street and dirt roads.

Along with a six-speed gearbox, the Quattrovalvole powerplant puts out maximum torque of 83 ft/lbs at 5800 rpm, so plenty of pull is just a crack of the throttle away.

A twin-spar steel-tube frame is designed to handle the stress of off-roading, and the suspension is fully adjustable for a wide variety of conditions and riding styles.
